Workspace is offline after update to onlyoffice-communityserver 11.6.0.1620

I´ve got a deb workspace installation on Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS. The server is a virtual kvm machine. The installation was reachable by https with letsencrypt certificate. After update to onlyoffice-communityserver version 11.6.0.1620 the webgui is no longer reachable. Nginx service is running. When the server is rebooted there is an error 502 app crash webpage for some seconds. Afterwards I get only ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE. Is there any advice? What can I do now to get it reachable again without loosing the workspace data?

Additional Information: the workspace was installed by usinig minmal Ubuntu installation and running sudo bash workspace-install.sh -ims false
The installation was no problem but I don´t know how to solve the current problem.

Hello Holger,
Please send me the config file /etc/nginx/sites-available/onlyoffice
Also please check if monoserve is running: service monoserve status
If it is down, restart it.

Hallo Carl, thx for advice.

Status of Monoserve is active.

Thank you.

Please specify how you installed the update? Did you use the installation script?

It seems the nginx config was overwritten as there is no listen 443 section that is responsible for HTTPS connection.
Please follow the guide to re-enable HTTPS:
https://helpcenter.onlyoffice.com/installation/groups-https-linux.aspx

Hello Carl,

the update was installed via

apt update
apt upgrade

Is that not the recommended way for updating?

I followed the linked guide and added to sites-available/onlyoffice:

server {
        listen 0.0.0.0:443 ssl http2;
        listen [::]:443 ssl http2 default_server;

        charset utf-8;

        }

        include /etc/nginx/includes/onlyoffice-communityserver-*.conf;
}

That did unfortunately not solve my problem nor running the script:

sudo bash /var/www/onlyoffice/Tools/default-onlyoffice-ssl.sh

I rebooted the server for restarting all services but the Webgui is still not reachable. For a short time the webserver shows a webpage with “Error 502. App Crash”.

The recommended way of updating a deb/rpm package installation of Workspace is by using the installation script.

bash workspace-install.sh -u true

Please try executing it and let me know the results.

I executed the script and rebooted the server. But again I get “Error 502. App Crash”.

Please check monoserve status again.

Status of monoserve is up and running.

Send me all logs from /var/log/onlyoffice/

There are many log files in that folder. Can I send a tar archive file via pm? Which adress shall I use?

Yes, you can upload an archive with logs to some hosting and send me the link via pm.

OK - now I found the “Start a message” button.

Hi. Did you find the root cause here. Im sesing something similar
nlyoffice hyperfastcgi4[2302]: libev.c:319: cmd_error():#011Remote host disconnected from fd 42

Hi! The problem in my case was, that the communityserver deb-package was not compatible to some actual ubuntu packages (e.g. mysql server, elastic search). Carls advice was, to downgrade this packages. But on actual Ubuntu Version there is no way to downgrade these packages.

So I did a clean reinstall of Ubuntu OS and did a new Communityserver Installation with “sudo bash workspace-install.sh -ims false” and I fond the same problem. I was unable to install a fresh and working installation of Communityserver on Ubuntu OS. After some month a new version 12 of onlyoffice-communityserver was offered.

And for some weeks it installs and runs like a charm. Then Ubuntu offered a new version of mysqlserver and the problem repeated. It seems like installation and update of communityserver is only possible after release of a new version and only for a short period of time. Therefore I installed my Ubuntuserver on BTRFS Filesystem and now I do daily snapshots. And I do a filesystem snapshot each time I try to update any packages. With a actual snapshot I can try to update the installed communityserver with “sudo bash workspace-install.sh -u true”.

If the update destroys my installation, I restore the last snapshot and my old version is up and running again. In most cases I have to restore the snapshot. It seems to be a principal problem when installing communityserver with deb packages. Perhaps you should better not do a deb packages installation and better preferr the docker image installation.

Best regards, Holger

Thats great news Holger. I tend to backup before upgrade too, in case of issues. I have a slew of pending updates on my ububtu 22 OO install, so I’ll wait .
