traccar.service not starting with Mozilla LSB
Looks like you broke something else in the config.
Anton, I agree with you. But I cannot figure out what it could be. This is my working traccar.xml (private data replaced with XXX)
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM 'http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd'>
<properties>
<entry key='config.default'>./conf/default.xml</entry>

</properties>With this version the service starts. If I remove the comment for the two mozilla lines and comment the two following lines for opencellid the service does not start anymore. I have no idea where the config breaks. The config is very basic and only changing these two lines makes the problem.
Do you have a recommendation how to track down the error?
I just added mozilla to my 4.3 configuration and went thru without problems.
I do not have all configurations as you do, but maybe, and I'm saying just maybe, could it be a combination of mozilla key and some other key?
I will try to strip it from all other optional configurations (which work fine without mozilla) and see what will happen.
I found the problem: My opencellid API key contains the symbols " -- " (double-hyphen). I was not aware that double-hyphen is not allowed within XML comments.
That's kind of an annoying convention imho.
Anywas, thanks Anton, thanks Ernesto!
Good to know it ... I'm not sure if there's a way you can regenerate your API key that will come out without a double hyphen. Is there? Regards.
Hey , you have same two lines of this code in your xml file : <entry key='geocoder.ignorePositions'>false</entry> and one is "true" and second one is "false" , delete one, maybe that can help.
@Ernesto Vallejo: The double-hyphen is only a problem within commented sections. If the key is in use, everything's fine.
@ Macan: Thanks for spotting this. It is not related to the problem, which was solved anyways according to my last post.
I experience a strange behavior: When I enable Mozilla geolocation in traccar.xml
<entry key='geolocation.enable'>true</entry> <entry key='geolocation.type'>mozilla</entry> <entry key='geolocation.key'>test</entry>traccar.service fails to start:
setting geolocation.enable to false does not change the situation, I have to comment out the geolocation.type statement, and it runs again
Using opencellid the server starts without problems. I have traccar-linux-64-4.3 installed on Ubuntu 18.04.02 LTS. Is there anybody experiencing the same problem, or does somebody know how to solve the problem?
