Hi guys
I have a real strange issue, which i can't get my head around, as the traccar server does not start, but it had worked, but then i got a corrupted database by the provider, and they managed to fix that, but now it still does not want to start, and i am not getting any messages in /opt/traccar/logs, but that i am guessing due to the fact it is not starting.
Here is the print out from the syslog log file, maybe some of you can help in the investigation.

I got that, but i have not changed it :D how can i validate it ? is there a way i can extract the original ones ?
You haven't changed the config file? I don't believe that statement. Default configs are definitely valid XML.
Validate it using any XML validation tool. There are probably a million website where you can do it.
I found the error, it was that the jdbc.Mysql can't handle ip it need to be a host name in front of the port, it is because after the provider broke my database, with power failure, they moved the backup one to an other instance, and it didnt have a url but only ip, but i just made an DNS record one of my domains and then directed it to that ip, now it is up and running again.
Wait. But you said you haven't changed the config files? Where did the error come from?
Off course i changed the traccar.xml to point to my database
Configuration parameters for MySQL (replace [HOST], [DATABASE], [USER], [PASSWORD] with appropriate values; for local database use "localhost" as HOST)
This line, the [HOST] have to be an url like 12345.XX.COM etc. it can't be X.X.X.X as in IP for the database, i made an A record in one of my domains to point to that ip i got from my VPS provider with the new database instance on, and volia it worked.
That's again incorrect. You can totally use IP address for the database. It has nothing to do with the original error.
Well that is what i did, and it worked sorry if it is not correct :D
It's always puzzling and frustrating to me why people try to hide information when they are asking for help.
Well i am not hiding anything, could also be that i tried a backup of my files, but it still didnt worked, and i change to an URL instead of IP, i dont know why you dont belive me :D
So what it could be, that the backup file worked, but i still need to change to an URL instead of an IP, either way, i guess the best thing is that everything is back online.
Ahh that sentence :D yes true, that is off course changed, but i mean with that out of the ordinary :D and not since it worked i have changed it, only to ip. and then i got the error.
So what i mean by that sentence is, not changed it after it worked to some abscure format, or have mistaken pushed a wrong character some place, and saved the file etc. as i hashed checked the files, after upgrade.
But after the corrupted database, i couldnt get it to work, even changed to the new instance with the ip, still didnt worked, but worked after changed it to URL.
So i think that sentence is a matter of maybe me explaining me wrong, not counting for the not self explaining :D
Hi guys
