Reading remote id has failed. Error:ZBW path does not exist

Post by geirgp »

On a clean Ubuntu 17.04 server I get zway started but get errors when I do anything in the web ui, e.g setting the admin password.

Startup log:

Code: Select all

# ./z-way-server
Z-Way version v2.3.1 from 2017-03-27 16:15:34 +0300 (build 437ae1cf0052f77df8c7979386eddf86397b608a)

Error: 'debug-port' number is out of range. Skipping it.
Excerpt from /var/log/z-way-server.log below - notice that zway seems to find my uzb1 and talks to devices in the network, but reports error on a "ZBW" -thingy.

This error seems to come when everytime the web-ui fails. Javascript console error in chrome:

Code: Select all

GET http://192.168.1.146:8083/ZAutomation/api/v1/system/remote-id 500 (Internal Server Error)
Install log:
1. Started with a clean ubuntu 17.04 (absolutely nothing else installed)
2. Then ran these commands before starting z-way-server:

Code: Select all

apt-get -y update
apt-get -y install libssl-dev libcurl3 libarchive-dev libarchive13 libavahi-compat-libdnssd1 wget
mkdir -p /opt/zway
cd /opt/zway
wget razberry.z-wave.me/z-way-server/z-way-server-Ubuntu-v2.3.1.tgz
tar --strip-components=1 -zxvf z-way-server-Ubuntu-v2.3.1.tgz
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/zway/libs
I've tried unplugging the uzb1, and reloading the cdc_acm module before restarting z-way-server. No luck.

Any thoughts on the "Error:ZBW path does not exist" -error?

Thanks,
Geir

Does anyone from z-wave.me follow up on these forums? Are there any better support channels?

Sometimes. Polto is doing a good job, but not in real time :-)
If you find another forum, just tell us here.

Hello,

can you tell us which Zway Version and which Firmware Version of UZB do you have?

Best regards

Hi geirgp,

please check your system for a folder called "zbw". Usually on Jessie Lite this folder is installed under /etc ...
If you found it in another location you can try to change the path to it in the already running "Remote Access" app under "Apps Active". Click on the gear wheel to open the app editor, change the path and save it. In same time you can also check the log if it work's.

Zway version 2.3.1 (latest ubuntu build).

Zero match on

Code: Select all

find / -name zbw
and this also returns nothing

Code: Select all

apt-cache search zbw
I just tried running an older version, 2.2.5, and got it to work (switching back to 2.3.1 fails again with the same error).

Regarding firmware:

Code: Select all

Library Type:	Static Controller
SDK Version:	6.51.06
Serial API Version:	05.04 
I tried performing a firmware update via the expert ui, but get this error message:

"Could not retrieve data from remote server."

Inspecting the network traffic I spotted that the web service which is called when checking for fw updates responds with a 404(!)

Code: Select all

Request URL:https://www.zwave.eu/api/expertui/uzb/?vendorId=277&appVersionMajor=5&appVersionMinor=4
Request Method:GET
Status Code:404 Not Found
Could it be that the url for this service changed after launching zway 2.3.x ? If so I'm kind of stuck since I cannot get 2.3.1 to work. Speaking of versions, I see that RPi and Windows have 2.3.4 while Ubuntu/Debian (my options) are still on 2.3.1. There are also several RC builds of 2.3.5 for RPi. Guess I'm probably missing a few fixes.

When can we expect up to date builds for Ubuntu/debian?
