Amahi Forums

I needed to change the domain name I use on my local LAN which required me to delete my hda from Amahi's list & re-install with a new install code. After doing so, my greyhole server won't start.

When I bring up the web interface & check Setup --> Settings --> Servers it shows Greyhole as stopped. Trying to start the server from the command line with "#greyhole -D" fails with a "Can't describe tasks with query: DESCRIBE tasks - Error: Table 'greyhole.tasks' doesn't exist" error.

detail from http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Greyhol ... leshooting is as follows

did this get resolved?

i think you simply need to add the drive to your pool. Greyhole wont run unless it has a drive to use

There's your answer. Just add a share folder to the pool and it's running!

Thanks for your interest. No this is not resolved.
I have three drives in my pool.

I have 6 share folders in the pool of three drives, but it's not running.

Maybe try reinstalling Greyhole as something might have broke. You could also consider updating to the latest version. Many users have done so with no issues.

If you feel re-installing greyhole is safe, please direct me to some documentation explaining how to do this manually. Our wiki simply covers it's use, unless I've overlooked something.

I don't want to make things worse because I don't have the space to move my data elsewhere before I make any more non-undo-able moves. No disrespect intended, I just need to move cautiously here. I appreciate all you do around here.

The link bigfoot65 gave in his last message is a direct link to instructions on how to update to the latest version of Greyhole. Follow those instructions.

OK, I got nervous when I read the disclaimer he linked to. "If you follow this guide to update your GH install manually you do so on your own risk. If it breaks, it's on you."

Will give it a whirl. Thanks for your time.

I'm still getting the "Can't describe tasks with query: DESCRIBE tasks - Error: Table 'greyhole.tasks' doesn't exist" error msg when I use #greyhole -D from the command line, and trying to restart from the web interface has no effect.
