/usr/bin/which: no overviewer.py

[morgantic]

I'm this issue with mscs:

$ mscs create testworld 25565
sudo: msctl: command not found

I tried the automatic installation first, and then re-tried with the manual installation, no luck.

$PATH seems fine as well:

$ echo $PATH
/home/opc/.local/bin:/home/opc/bin:/usr/share/Modules/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin
$ sudo echo $PATH
/home/opc/.local/bin:/home/opc/bin:/usr/share/Modules/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin

When I try to run msctl directly I get this

[opc@minecraft-server-main mscs]$ msctl create testworld 25565
/usr/bin/which: no overviewer.py in (/home/opc/.local/bin:/home/opc/bin:/usr/share/Modules/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin)
Creating Minecraft world: testworld.

I'm running the OCI with oracle linux if that help narrow down the issue, can someone help? Thanks!

Hi @morgantic.

I'm not sure what the issue is. It looks like you have things set up correctly. So, I'm just going to ask simple questions to see if we can find the issue together.

1. What is the output of ls -la /usr/local/bin/msctl
2. What is the output of ls -la /usr/local/bin/mscs
3. What is the output of ls -la /opt/mscs
4. Do you have Overviewer installed? If not, this error can be ignored if you don't want to use the mapping function

Hi @sandain - I appreciate you taking your time to help me on this.

$ ls -la /usr/local/bin/msctl

$ ls -la /opt/mscs

I don't think I have overviewer installed, because I don't know what it is. From what I can find on google, it's a mapper / online map? But I'll just ignore it then, thanks!

That all looks good. How about the following?

1. sudo "PATH=$PATH" -u minecraft -H which msctl
2. sudo "PATH=$PATH" -u minecraft -H which mscs

[morgantic]

$ sudo "PATH=$PATH" -u minecraft -H which msctl
/usr/local/bin/msctl

and

$ sudo "PATH=$PATH" -u minecraft -H which mscs
/usr/local/bin/mscs

I don't know why it is not working. Very odd. Maybe modify the mscs script to use the full path to msctl:

#!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:       mscs
# Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop:  $remote_fs $syslog
# Default-Start:  2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:   0 1 6
# chkconfig:      345 50 50
# Description:    Minecraft Server Control Script
### END INIT INFO

# This is a wrapper to msctl that imitates traditional mscs behaviour:

# Setup the default user name.

# Setup the default installation location.
LOCATION="/opt/mscs"

# Setup the default location of the mscs.defaults file.
MSCS_DEFAULTS="$LOCATION/mscs.defaults"

# Setup the arguments to the msctl script.
MSCS_ARGS="-p $PROG -l $LOCATION -c $MSCS_DEFAULTS $@"

# Run the msctl script.
if [ "$USER_NAME" = "$(whoami)" ]; then
  /usr/local/bin/msctl $MSCS_ARGS
else
  sudo "PATH=$PATH" -u $USER_NAME -H /usr/local/bin/msctl $MSCS_ARGS
fi
