I'm trying to install the EMONPI version of EMONHUB on a new copy of Jessie, and it won't start.
The command I used to install was
git clone https://github.com/openenergymonitor/emonhub.git && emonhub/install
followed by
sudo service emonhub start
entering sudo systemctl status emonhub gives
* emonhub.service - LSB: Start/stop emonHub

Looking at /home/pi/data reveals a perfectly readable emonhub.conf which presumably is what “configobj” is?
/var/log/emonhub/emonhub.log is empty
Mosquitto is working and passing data from other sources and there were no errors displayed when I carried out the install in read write mode. Reading the install script it seems all the symbolic links are in place.
Re: New Emonhub install won't start
It would be helpful if you told us which version of emoncms you've installed and which install guide you used.
Are you using a Raspberry Pi or a emonpi?

Re: New Emonhub install won't start
Apologies,
Pi Model B, following the guide at https://github.com/openenergymonitor/emonpi/blob/master/docs/SD-card-build.md
Everything has gone OK until step "Install OpenEnergyMonitor (emon-pi) emonHub variant:" which seems to install OK but emonhub won't start.
Essentially I'm trying to make an EMONPI Image to run on a standard Pi without the LCD Service that seems to hold one of my GPIO Pins. I need this PIN for Openhab GPIO use. My version of Openhab uses MQTT extensively to pass data backwards and forwards to EMONCMS which is why I don't want to change to the ordinary version.
Re: New Emonhub install won't start
ConfigObj is a Python package used for managing the emonhub configuration, it is aa essential dependency. As is Py-serial, used to provide the serial port communications. Use the following line to add the dependencies via the debian package manager
sudo apt-get install -y python-serial python-configobj

Thanks very much, that fixed it!
