Hello,

As stated in tu subject, I've installed YACReader on my new 20.04 LTS Server.
Before going to launch it automatically a service, I wanted to test it, but each time I try to launch, I have a warning.
christophe@jdrien:~/.local/share/YACReader/YACReaderLibrary$ YACReaderLibraryServer start
INFO  2020-05-22T13:51:27.262 YACReaderLibraryServer attempting to start

^C

But it appears as running in ps -ax, then what is the meaning of the warning message ?
christophe@jdrien:~$ ps -ax | grep YAC
 545289 pts/0    S+     0:00 YACReaderLibraryServer start
 545291 pts/1    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto YAC

Anyway as I have no clue where to give the port I want it to run on, I am unable to connect from the iOS app to check if it's OK. I've tried with 8080 but no luck.

Do you know on which port it is listening ?

Regards.

The warning is caused by Luis doing something not quite right with his database code, but I gave up nagging about it years ago. You can ignore it or you can nag Luis about it :D

For finding the port, you can use one of these options to check for listening ports:

Thanks for the explanation on the warning message :-)

For the port I did the netstat -tunlpv command and found the port number, now I am able to browse the Libray.
Many thanks.

A last quaestion anyway, after having rebooted my server, the ports changed.
Do you know how to fix it or do I have to recheck for the port number on each reboot (rare I hope) ?
Why not to put it in the config file where are stored the Libraries information ?

Regards,

My guess is that the server randomly chooses a port because the default one is taken or it doesn't find one in the config.

The config file should be in ~/.local/share/YACReader/YACReaderLibrary/YACReaderLibrary.ini

Search for a section called [listener] and add "port=9090" or whatever (no quotes), if it isn't present create it:

[listener]
port=9090

Note that this is based on my own system, not on a fresh install, so some details might be different for you …
