    • Troubleshooting

    1. Error: binary not present

  • If you see logs like this, pay attention to [UPGRADE_NAME] :
    Error: binary not present
stat $HOME/.gitopia/cosmovisor/upgrades/[UPGRADE_NAME]/bin/gitopiad: no such file or directory"
gitopiad.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
gitopiad.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
  • Fix with:
    Make sure you change [UPGRADE_NAME] according to your logs
    export DAEMON_NAME=gitopiad
export DAEMON_HOME=$HOME/.gitopia
cosmovisor add-upgrade [UPGRADE_NAME] $(which gitopiad)
  • Check node logs:
    journalctl -fu gitopiad -o cat
