LS wont run from installed version

[DarioCrivelli]

Our script just determines LS_HOME by looking at the path of the launched script itself and moving up two directories.
So it seems that you have run something like:
/Lightstreamer/bin/unix-like/background_start.sh
which is not what we expect from the launch through init.d.

After running the install script (the "Debian" version for Ubuntu), you should have a properly configured /etc/init.d/lightstreamer script file.
May you please attach this file (perhaps in txt form) for a check?

The init.d script remains as per the install.

running the background script was just to prove it works.

lightstreamer is reported as running but it is not.

[nimbusgb]

hmmm.

service not enabled!

missing from your script or the instructions and I've been too close to the problem for the past week!

now enabled via @> systemctl enable lightstreamer

but sadly that appears to not address the problem.
