rstudio-server failing to start

[rramiro]

Hi all,

I am being unable to start my rstudio-server on a machine with Ubuntu 18.04. I have been using rstudio-server for a while, but this is a new problem. This is what I get:

sudo rstudio-server status
● rstudio-server.service - RStudio Server
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/rstudio-server.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2021-05-23 20:32:08 WEST; 1min 13s ago

Has anyone had the same problem?

You might get a more useful message by running:

sudo journalctl -u rstudio-server

Thanks for your reply. I just figured out it was a problem with the file /etc/rstudio/rserver.conf that had a wrong IP, as I had changed recently. Once I corrected that and restarted the rstudio-server it worked again
