Ignition Edge Linux failing to start

Ignition

I’m trying to run Ignition Edge on an industrial PC that runs a slightly modified Debian, but it fails to start. Below is the entirety of my wrapper.log after trying a few times.

FATAL  | wrapper  | 2020/03/13 11:42:31 | Unable to get the path for '/home/USER/ignition_8.0.10/./ignition-gateway' - Success
FATAL  | wrapper  | 2020/03/13 11:42:47 | Unable to get the path for '/home/USER/ignition_8.0.10/./ignition-gateway' - Success
FATAL  | wrapper  | 2020/03/13 11:44:16 | Unable to get the path for './ignition-gateway' - Success

The first two are the result of running sudo ./ignition.sh start and the last one is from trying to run sudo ./ignition-gateway

I’ve tried both 8.0.9 and 8.0.10 which both get the same error.

There’s a few things to check for here:

  • ignition-gateway exists in the root of your main install directory
  • ignition-gateway is set to executable
  • ignition-gateway has proper permissions for the user that is running the gateway (i.e., RUN_AS_USER in ignition.sh)

  1. It does
  2. It is, I had tried running it directly when ignition.sh was failing.
  3. RUN_AS_USER in ignition.sh is commented out and not specified.
