"exec: /opt/akkoma/erts-13.1.2/bin/erlexec: not found"

hi getting this error trying to install akkoma.

erlexec is present in the /erts-(version)/bin/ directory.

also encountered an error with the zip command copied from guide (zip not found? I just extracted the downloaded zip - not the renamed one & chowned the release directory for akkoma:akkoma) not sure if that could somehow affect installation.

also tried installing from source however several packages were out of date & compilation kept stopping.

running debian 11 on vps, basically new install.

thanks, any help appreciated.

which version of erlang do you use?
I switched to ubuntu cause the debian erlang was really old

3

“erlang (1:23.2.6+dfsg-1” is installed.

4

could you try
elixier --version

5

elixir was not installed, after installation, command still fails to find erlexec.

elixir version (1.10.3.dfsg-1.1)

6

the command I am trying to use is :
su akkoma -s $SHELL -lc “./bin/pleroma_ctl instance gen --output /etc/akkoma/config.exs --output-psql /tmp/setup_db.psql”

fails with error:

/opt/akkoma/releases/3.5.0-0-g63f2d1cbe/…/…/erts-13.1.2/bin/erl: 12: exec: /opt/akkoma/erts-13.1.2/bin/erlexec: not found

did set the correct flavor at start of the guide?

# Set the flavour environment variable to the string you got in Detecting flavour section.
# For example if the flavour is `amd64-musl` the command will be
export FLAVOUR="amd64-musl"

Also… you said the unzip command failed? did u use the full download command?

# Clone the release build into a temporary directory and unpack it
su akkoma -s $SHELL -lc "
curl 'https://akkoma-updates.s3-website.fr-par.scw.cloud/stable/akkoma-$FLAVOUR.zip' -o /tmp/akkoma.zip
unzip /tmp/akkoma.zip -d /tmp/
"

it could be you downlaoded the wrong flavor?
I’ve never seen your error, thats why i’m asking so much questions XD

8

this error typically happens when you download the glib version on a musl system of vice versa

I definitely exported the correct flavour. the zip file had “amd64-musl” in the filename. ls tmp shows “akkoma-amd64-musl.zip”.

10

I did use the full command, there was a peculiar error that amounted to like invalid package or file not found, however the zip could still be extracted normally.

also I just checked in akkoma ~ & the ownership is correct also I think permissions too, the akkoma user has x rights.

11

musl, is for alpine linux, you need amd64 for debian

export FLAVOUR="amd64"

after that redownload it again, it should work with that :innocent:

12

oh duh, sorry to waste your times.

thanks for helping me work that out, I figured it was something simple.

13

I still get this error on download - the transfer cuts out?

ahh i found the error… it s actually an error in the doc
Replace ’ with "
like

curl 'https://akkoma-updates.s3-website.fr-par.scw.cloud/stable/akkoma-$FLAVOUR.zip' -o /tmp/akkoma.zip

with:

curl "https://akkoma-updates.s3-website.fr-par.scw.cloud/stable/akkoma-$FLAVOUR.zip" -o /tmp/akkoma.zip
15

I now get

"!!! Config path is not declared! Please ensure it exists and that AKKOMA_CONFIG_PATH and/or PLEROMA_CONFIG_PATH is unset or points to an existing file
"

when I am running

“su akkoma -s $SHELL -lc “./bin/pleroma_ctl instance gen --output /etc/akkoma/config.exs --output-psql /tmp/setup_db.psql””

16

Oh… it works for me… i tried it before via sudo, there it didn’t set the variable correctly in the sudo env

root@rick-akkoma-1:~# su pleroma -s $SHELL -lc " echo $FLAVOUR
curl 'https://akkoma-updates.s3-website.fr-par.scw.cloud/stable/akkoma-$FLAVOUR.zip' -o /tmp/akkoma.zip
file /tmp/akkoma.zip

this is entirely fine

ok now it tells me when I attempt to do the following line of the guide that a database named with my proposed url does not exist.

"su postgres -s $SHELL^[[200~su postgres -s $SHELL -lc "psql -f /tmp/setup_db.psql"
psql:/tmp/setup_db.psql:1: ERROR:  role "akkoma" already exists
psql:/tmp/setup_db.psql:2: ERROR:  syntax error at or near "."
LINE 1: CREATE DATABASE my-fedi-url OWNER akkoma;
                            ^
psql:/tmp/setup_db.psql:3: error: \connect: FATAL:  database "my-fedi-url" does not exist"

how do I proceed?

20

that’s not a valid database name

see PostgreSQL: Documentation: 7.0: Names

21

hi the actual database name is separated with dots, is that valid? sorry I replaced it w a placeholder.
