I have an application on openshift which has suddenly stopped running.
The following cartridges are used :

  • Mysql
  • Cron
  • Nodejs

The only information about the crash of the app is the following from nodejs.log : 

 DEBUG: Sending SIGTERM to child...

Now, when I try to rhc start / stop / restart the app, I got the following messages :

Failed to execute: 'control stop' for /var/lib/openshift/<username>/nodejs
Failed to execute: 'control stop' for /var/lib/openshift/<username>/cron
Failed to execute: 'control stop' for /var/lib/openshift/<username>/mysql

I can manually start the app by ssh in the app and executing 

./mysql/bin/control start
./nodejs/bin/control start
./cron/bin/control start

Why can't the app be automatically restarted ?

Try 'rhc app-force-stop "app"'. Then restart the app. I don't know what the root cause of your problem is tho. Check your disk quota and or a memory leak.

    Hi, thanks for your comment. Quota is fine and force-stop does work, but I can't start the app with rhc. I have to manually start all the cartridges – Mat777 Aug 19 '14 at 14:21
  • My app is python based so I'm not sure how Nodejs works. Did you check the build logs when you push your app for action hook errors? – fat fantasma Aug 19 '14 at 15:23
  • To answer the question above, _rhc app start/stop/restart_ were not working. The _rhc app force-stop_ didn't give any errors. – Mat777 Aug 22 '14 at 06:51

Solution that worked for me - as weird as it is - try a day later.

Had the same problem yesterday - neither restarting nor git pushes were working. Tried restoring from snapshot, forcing stop and manual starts to no avail. And today it works straight off. I can only guess that some cron-jobs on OpenShift fixed it.
