The first thing I’d suggest you try is updating/resetting the web ui using root with the following commands

cd /usr/games/minecraft
git fetch
git reset --hard origin/master
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
chmod +x mineos_console.js

But, how did you obtain the WebUI? Did you use the preconfigured ISO or did you manually install it?

still the same
I manually installed it

See if this helps sec. 5.5: https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#apache-httpd-incomat

“The managing of configuration files has also been changed in the Debian packaging. In particular, all configuration files and sites must now end with “.conf” to be parsed by default. This change also replaces the existing use of /etc/apache2/conf.d/.”

I think can be said to apply to debian systemd if you are still Apache 2.2.

Or not.

Which steps did you take to install the UI?
You can also try installing it again (sometimes that does work)

Section 5.6 says “Jessie ships with systemd as default init system” and I’m guessing that means you should instead try the “Ubuntu 15” steps from the wiki page, since Ubuntu 15+ also uses systemd. Ubuntu is based on Debian so it’s safe to try.

100% correct JayMontana36,

My question was did the OP have Apache 2.2 or did he update to 2.4.

Answer by Op decided the validity of my reply.

He did not, So sorry to be out of line.

Ok, to sharpen the point:

Apache 2.2 is not working well with Jessie.

Apache 2.4 is working better with Jessie.

That is what I read from the document.

Corrections Requested.

Thanks and Best Regards,

What does /var/log/mineos.log say?

And if it doesn’t exist, what do you get out of trying to run the webui manually? (as root)

cd /usr/games/minecraft
chmod +x webui.js
./webui.js
