I had the asset server up and running fine for quite some time now but I suddenly stopped working.
It gives the error message:
Failed to connect to asset server: could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061)
Is the server running on host “myassetserver.myhost.com” and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 10733?
when i open up the asset server panel within unity.
If I ssh to the host, this is what i found:
- the server is online since i can connect to it
- the asset files are there. (in the asset directory)
- the asset server system files are there (in the /opt/unity_asset_server/) directory
- If i try to run the command to reset the asset server admin password (sudo /opt/unity_asset_server/reset_admin_password)
I get the following error:
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket “/tmp/.s.PGSQL.10733”?
- If I run “top” to figure out whats running on the box I get the following list of services:
init
sshd
bash
pickup
apache2-ps63690
rsyslogd
atd
cron
master
qmgr
supervisord
Any ideas on what why the server suddenly stopped working? It looks like it is not currently running. Is there a command to restart the asset server service? Is it safe to re-install the asset server with the assets sitting there? I already tried rebooting the linux box(hosted through dreamhost) and I backed up the asset directory, but i have been unable to backup the asset database using the as_backup command…
