Hi Mike.

This is actually a deficiency in the command ‘service’ provided by Debian/Ubuntu. 

Simply use “sudo systemctl dxspider start” instead

If dxspider isn’t starting at boot, issue this command to create a symbolic link that indicates the service should be started automatically:

sudo systemctl dxspider enable

This article has more info on the problem with the service command https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-27715

I have built a new node which ultimately will replace the current MX0NCA-2

The new node has MariaDb installed and the node is happily using MariaDb with all the spots showing in phpMyAdmin.   The node is working perfectly and I have MRTG graphs working beautifully see dxc.mx0nca.uk/mrtg/stats.html .  Ver 1.57 build 517.  (This test node is running as G4KAN-9)

BUT the node won’t start automatically  from reboot – although it does restart if a ‘shut’ is run from the console.

If I try a ‘sudo systemctl dxspider start’ the node starts fine – but it is not running as a service and again doesn’t start after a reboot.

If I try ‘sudo service dxspider start’ I  get:

Failed to get properties: Unit name mariadb-extra at .socket is neither a valid invocation ID nor unit name.
Failed to get properties: Unit name mariadb at .socket is neither a valid invocation ID nor unit name.

Any ideas team?
