Cannot access Emby via URL. Continually quits and restarts - Ubuntu 14.04

[j0nezy 0]

Hi,

 

Been having issues with emby these past couple of days. It was working fine under the old mediabrowser version, but something's gone wrong recently.

 

I've uninstalled, upgraded, reinstalled, purged and done all that I can think of, but nothing is sorting it.

 

Running Ubuntu 14.04, Emby installs fine, and the service runs fine.

However, trying to access the panel via http://{IP}:8096, I just get "This web page is not available" or "Connection refused".

I can continually hit refresh and it *may* load something, but I don't get much further.

I have got as far as going part way through the wizard before it dies again.

 

Checking /var/log/emby-server.log I've found this :

Debug info from gdb:


=================================================================
Got a SIGABRT while executing native code. This usually indicates
a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries
used by your application.

tail: /var/log/emby-server.log: file truncated
Info, Main, Emby

This repeats ad-infinitum so it seems emby is starting then crashing out at the above point, then restarting.

 

In the main Ubuntu thread there was a suggestion that it could be related to mono, and I think this confirms it.

I've purged all packages prefixed with mono- (using apt-get), then added the official mono repository and installed mono-complete, then installed emby-server.

 

It still keeps quitting and restarting, and I cannot access via http://{IP}:8096

 

Anyone have any ideas? I've exhausted everything I can think of.

 

Wiping the server and starting again is becoming a possibility (A long one, there are some other things running on there which are going to be a pain to reinstall and get up and running again so I'd like to avoid that avenue if possible).

 

Thanks,

Please run the following commands:

uname -a 
netstat -an | grep 8920

uname -a produces

Linux Ubuntu-1404-trusty-64-minimal 3.13.0-46-generic #79-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 10 20:06:50 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

and

 

netstat -an | grep 8920

at first produced no output, then I re-ran it and it produced this

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8920 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

Attached is a copy of /var/log/emby-server.log

emby-server.log.txt

 

Thanks

Nvermind. Crisis averted. I completely wiped the server. Fresh install of Ubuntu 15.10 and fresh download of Emby and it's working.
