Wekan starts but doesn’t open a listening port (after snap update)
Bug Description
Yesterday’s 9.95 had rendered Wekan (installed as a snap) inoperable, but from others’ issue reports and comments here I decided to wait until the fixes for those had been released.
With 9.98 now installed, the Wekan service itself seemingly starts without issues, but Apache (which is what I’m using for a proxy) still can’t connect to it:
http: attempt to connect to 127.0.0.1:3333 (127.0.0.1:3333) failed
Indeed, a netstat command confirms that port 3333 (which is what I’ve set Wekan’s port to) is not open.
My settings and output from snap info are below. I set debug=true, hoping to get more details, but it didn’t do anything.
Attached is all that journalctl -xeu snap.wekan.wekan.service logs for the service upon startup.
Steps to Reproduce
- have Wekan snap 6.09
- snap set wekan port=3333
- have the snap update to 9.98
