Hi,

I set up the new 1.9 gateway and 0.9.7.0 dashboard up on a Ubuntu VM using apt.
When trying to start the dashboard with “sudo service tyk-dashboard start”, it says it started but it stops right away.
If I start it from /opt/tyk-dashboard with “./tyk-analytics”, it keeps running and shows the dev portal just fine. But if I refresh a portal page it logs out “WARN[0008] Failed to retrieve object: not found”

This is written to the dashboard log file multiple times after running “sudo service tyk-dashboard start”:
(I checked and all the template files are in /opt/tyk-dashboard/portal/templates/)

Hi Tarmo,

Did you run the configuration script:

https://tyk.io/v1.9/setup/install-tyk-ubuntu/#3-configure-tyk-gateway:74924c7f21fb15c7fca90c441f6e20cc

It sets up your dashboard configuration file, the one that ships by default could error out because the paths in the tyk_analytics.conf file wil not be setup to run outside of the home folder.

You can run the configurations script as many times as you like, it will just overwrite the old one.

You can also check the logs in /var/log/upstart/

They’ll show you the output of the service trying to start.

Cheers,
Martin
