Followed all the steps and Iinstalled Traccar but does not display on Browser

Zuo Bruno6 years ago

I have pretty new to Traccar and Java so while installing on my CentOS v6 VPS server, I followed the tutorials found at: https://www.traccar.org/install-digitalocean/
I followed each step slowly and with some research as below:
1- Update Server: apt-get update
2- apt-get install unzip default-jre mysql-server
3- echo "create database traccar" | mysql -u root -p (I ran this without -p)
4- wget https://github.com/tananaev/traccar/releases/download/v3.16/traccar-linux-3.16.zip
5- unzip traccar-linux-*.zip
6- ./traccar.run
7- nano traccar.xml (entered some XML data - can be found on lik below)
8- cp traccar.xml /opt/traccar/conf/
9- rm -f traccar.run README.txt traccar-linux-*.zip
10- /opt/traccar/bin/startDaemon.sh
11- Open browser and visit IP address to see GUI and then log in to start admin work (Step 11 is the only one that did not work as planned)

Is there something I am doing wrong? when I open the web page I see default web page.

Those instructions are for Ubuntu. Have you actually checked output of all those commands? Have you checked logs? What do you mean by default web page? Obviously if some other process (Apache?) is using same port, you won't be able to use it for Traccar.

Yes, When I open the browser I am immediately taken to IP.Address/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi
Yes I think Apache is using port 80? Thanks alot let me try stopping apache and see how that goes.

Have you actually checked what the issue is? Have you checked commands output? Have you checked server logs? Have you checked if process is running? Have you checked if process is listening on the ports?
