TPEAP stopped working, I upgraded it to the latest I could find (4.4.6). Still doesn't work. All my stuff seems to be to spec but maybe I'm reading something wrong.

I found a fix yesterday by the way. Not sure if it will work for you. I completely uninstalled the package 'omadac' and then a fresh install using the .deb-file with the command 'sudo dpkg -i filename.deb'. Worked like a charm. You will lose all settings and folders though. Be sure to get a working back-up out of the back-up folder in the /opt/-folder. I already uninstalled completely as I bought the hardware controller instead so can't see what folder it was exactly.

Dear @4mp3d,

To confirm, was the TPEAP working before?

If yes, were there anything changed before it stopped working?

@Fae 

It was working, I don't know when it stopped. I just noticed it wasn't working. 

 

When it wouldn't start up I decided to do the upgrade, so downloaded the latest deb file and ran the install to see if it fixed it. No dice. 

This is just running on an Ubuntu box.

@Fae same is happening over here since the update to 4.4.6 because of the log4j-vulnerability that is going on. It always worked before and since I've updated I'm getting the same error logs:

I'll try to purge it and reinstall, probably should have tried that already. :D I guess I assumed it was a diff problem since it wasn't working before I upgraded it.

Confirmed, I was able to uninstall using apt and then reinstalled using my backup and it not seems to be running fine. Appreciate it.
