Can not connect to Retropie Manager (Connection refused)

Bender2k

Hi,

i installed the original Raspbian Image and added Retropie later by hand. Works fine.
Today i installed the manager using the retropie script and enabled autostart, but i can not connect to http://ip:8000/. Chrome says: connection refused.

I can connect to the raspberry using SHH, but due to i am a noob, i do not know what to do, to open the port 8000.

Thanks for help !!!

@Bender2k please, post here the output of this command:

/opt/retropie/supplementary/retropie-manager/rpmanager.sh --isrunning

Bender2k

Ahhhh,

it is not running! But when i config the manager using the RetroPie Setup Script it says, that autostart on boot is enabled.
When i start it by hand, i can access via browser but after a reboot it is again not running automatically.

Where is the problem?

@Bender2k please, reboot your pi and then post here the output of this command:

cat /dev/shm/rpmanager.log

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /dev/shm/rpmanager.log

Maybe those hciconfig commands aren't finalizing and then the rpmanager line isn't being executed. Usually we put a & char in the end each line in the /etc/rc.local in order to make the command execute in background mode and the script goes to the next command.

I'm not sure what those hciconfig commands do (something related to bluetooth?), but I would try to add a & at the end of each line and see if it works.

Bender2k

Yes, i installed a bluetooth plugin so i can use WiiMotes.
I will try to add the "&" to both forst lines.

Bender2k

I added the "&" to both lines and i tried to put the 3rd line as first, before the hciconfig lines.
Both is not working. The manager is not starting automatically :(

@Bender2k comment out the hciconfig lines completely (put a # in front). Also make sure /etc/rc.local has the correct permissions

ls -l /etc/rc.local

sudo chmod a+x /etc/rc.local

will fix it if it's missing executable permissions.

Bender2k

I uncommented it and set the rights as you advised:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /etc/rc.local

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#

# bits.

#hciconfig hci0 up
#hciconfig hci0 pscan
"/opt/retropie/supplementary/retropie-manager/rpmanager.sh" --start --user pi 2>&1 > /dev/shm/rpmanager.log &
exit 0





Result:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ /opt/retropie/supplementary/retropie-manager/rpmanager.sh --isrunning
RetroPie-Manager is not running




Sad.....
