Error on startup

Can anyone help with this. Using Node 7.1 and npm 3.10.9. I am getting the following error on startup.


Scan this code with your HomeKit App on your iOS device to pair with Homebridge:

Re: Error on startup

That means you already have an instance running that you need t stop first.

Re: Error on startup

If you used launchctl to automatically start it, then it starts again when you reboot. You can unload the launchctl script to stop it and prevent it from restarting: launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.webdeck.homebridge.plist

Re: Error on startup

This command will tell you what process is using port 51826:

Code: Select all
sudo lsof -i :51826

these all look to be other apple devices on the network? iPhones and Apple TV

Re: Error on startup

You have homebridge running already. That's what "node" is.

launchctl list | grep homebridge

will probably show it in that list somewhere.

Re: Error on startup

Do you remember how you installed it? You must have done something different from the instructions provided because the launchctl command I gave you would have worked if you had installed it according to the instructions in this forum.

Re: Error on startup

I originally installed via your instructions several months ago.

I tried to get auto restart to work according the the forum but never seemed to work.

I then recently updated to nodejs6 and npm3 via the forum instructions to uninstall npm2 and nodejs6 and to rm node_modules command. Then installed npm3 and nodejs6.

Lastly I uninstalled nodejs6 and npm3 and installed using the nodejs7 pkg which installs both nom 3.10.9 and nodejs7. I guess my autolaunch command is not working but not sure why now?

I just restarted and auto launch seems to be working. My only question is where can I locate the autolaunch function and what I really have been trying to do is get autolaunch and auto restart to work on a crash.

Suggestions and thanks for your help.

Re: Error on startup

WEll the good news is that you have auto launch working because it was running after a reboot.

You can use spotlight to search for homebridge to try and find where you put the launchctl plist file.

Re: Error on startup

.homebridge is located in my user folder and has folders of accessories and resist and my config.js file.

there is a lanchctl file located in the root/bin folder.

Since auto launch is working that is ok. How do I enable auto restart?

Re: Error on startup

They are one in the same. If it is autolaunching it is also auto-restarting.
