Can't Run homebridge after fresh install
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Hi I had been running homebridge with no issues for over a year until this week when my RPi's SD card became corrupted, I have replaced it and install a fresh copy of raspbian and followed all the steps as before.
my first test plugin was the wemo accessory and this works with no issues, i then added the lighwavrf plugin and thats where things go horribly wrong!
i had kept a copy of my config.json file so i know that it works and is error free however this is the response i now get when starting homebridge

im really at a loss of what to do next so any help would be great.
its so annoying as the homebridge was working perfectly until this issue.
Did you copy over the entire homebridge config directory? If so, it may be worth deleting the accessories directory and maybe the persist directory and see what happens.
no just the config.json file
