motioneye service doesn't work
Hello, I've installed motioneye on a Debian 9.5 machine using the manual installation described in this page: https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneye/wiki/Manual-Download-And-Installation and using the command meyectl startserver -c /etc/motioneye/motioneye.conf it works fine. Now I would install motioneye as a service, so I tried the instruction on point 7 here: https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneye/wiki/Install-On-Debian but it doesn't start, and the result is this:
root@debian:/etc/motioneye# systemctl status motioneye ● motioneye.service - motionEye Server Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/motioneye.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Fri 2018-07-20 10:50:31 CEST; 23min ago Process: 1487 ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/meyectl startserver -c /etc/motioneye/motioneye.c Main PID: 1487 (code=exited, status=203/EXEC) lug 20 10:50:31 debian systemd[1]: Started motionEye Server. lug 20 10:50:31 debian systemd[1]: motioneye.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=203/EXEC lug 20 10:50:31 debian systemd[1]: motioneye.service: Unit entered failed state. lug 20 10:50:31 debian systemd[1]: motioneye.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
What could be the problem? Thank you very much and regards
I'm experiencing a similar problem, albeit on Raspbian.
I think the problem lies in the fact that when installed, the command meyectl does not exist within the directory /usr/local/bin. Instead, in my case, it's in /home/pi/.local/bin/meyectl. For some reason, instead of putting things in /usr/, Raspbian puts it in the user's home folder in /.local.
If you run sudo find / -name meyectl, what do you get back?
I think you both have not executed the command pip install motioneye as root. Please try again with sudo pip install motioneye
That helped me create the missing file.
The instructions on this page, item 4, do not mention sudo Install on Debian 11 (Buster)
