Upstart not starting automatically [fixed]

[Lensdigital]

I have a question. On my RPi gateway doesn't seem to start after reboot. It seems like "upstart" is not working even tho I installed it. Has anyone seen these issues? I can manually start script with "sudo start gateway" but it just doesn't run at startup. Nothing in the gateway.sys.log after reboot...

Not really sure, it should work if you have wheezy and followed the install steps or use my image.

I'm also having the same problem.  I can manually start the gateway using the "sudo start gateway" and everything runs OK.  If I just boot up the gateway doesn't start.  I have checked the gateway.conf file about 50 times and the permissions are correct.

Not sure what else to try.

I take that you manually installed everything rather than using the sample image.
What linux distribution are you using?

My apologies, I realize I failed to update the upstart .conf script in the guide.
The differences are minor but the effects are major, namely:

Code Select Expand

start on startup
stop on shutdown

needs to be updated to:

Code Select Expand

start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [016]

The problem was that the script was attempting to start the app too early in the boot sequence, when certain resources were not available.
So please revisit the app setup page and update the whole script since there are other minor changes.
Please confirm it now works.
