I made som changes to the config file, nothing big. Then restarded HA and now it is impossible to get it up and running again.
I have tried to restart my Pi, HA, updgrade, start and stop HA but nothing.
However I am still able to login to my Pi via Putty and can also reach the HA folder and files on the Pi.
Any clues? Do I have to do a fresh install?
Hello,
HA may won’t start because your config changes are invalid.
Try to execute this command: ‘sudo systemctl status [email protected]’.
If you named your service different then replace the last part. Then you should see which File and which Line causes the Error.
Next time, if you change your config, you can check the Syntax via HA-Frontend in the Browser to avoid situations like these. http://[hostname]:[port]/config/core (default port is 8123).
On the right site of the page you see “CHECK CONFIG”.
Right after you restart HA, you can either do a tail -f home-assistant.log to see where it starts spitting out problems, or you can execute sudo journalctl -fu homeassistant.service
Each of these will continue until you press ctrl-c. It might be good to do this from a separate putty session so that you don’t miss anything while waiting for the first command to return.
Thanks for your quick replies. I managed to find the error that slipped in to the customize file. Dont understand how. But at least now it works again…
