Etherpad Startup execution failed with non-200 response: 500
Etherpad won’t start and errors with output
Etherpad Startup execution failed with non-200 response: 500Cause:
Etherpad can’t talk to MySql
Things to check:
1. Your /etc/hosts
2. Your MySQL conf under networking – /etc/mysql/my.cnf
3. Your MySQL conf bind-address – /etc/mysql/my.cnf
4. The etherpad.SQL_JDBC_URL value in /usr/share/etherpad/etherpad/etc/etherpad.local.properties
Make sure these are correct then restart mysql. Don’t assume that connecting with mysql -uroot -ppassword etherpad is a good test.

You can grab an older version by doing
git log
finding where ye wanna go back to then
git checkout COMMITVALUE ie bd2190f0453f6a189b84b3ff2f1af05d5e023801

Etherpad emails show wrong port (9000) when sending from version 1 running apache and mod_proxy
Etherpad emails may show as port 9000 if you are using mod_proxy(apache) in front of etherpad.
If this is a problem simply edit:
/usr/share/etherpad/etherpad/etc/etherpad.local.properties
replacing
hidePorts = false
with
hidePorts = true -
Etherpad Office Import & Export after Upgrade to V1

- Image by Kiberpipa via Flickr
V1 does not natively support office import / exports yet due to a licensing issue but if you had it working before you can do a few steps that will get you started. We use Open Office in a headless mode to accomplish this.
1. Copy the cos.jar to infrastructure/lib (replacing etherpadbackup is the folder you backed your original etherpad installation to (etherpad <v1)
cp /usr/local/etherpadbackup/trunk/infrastructure/lib/cos.jar /usr/share/etherpad/infrastructure/lib/
2. Run soffice in headless mode
/usr/bin/soffice -headless -nofirststartwizard -accept=”socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.Service”
3. Uncomment the lines in execution.scala that are commented “REMOVED_COS_OF_COS”4. Reset your exports
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun" export SCALA_HOME="/usr/share/java" export JAVA="/usr/bin/java" export SCALA="/usr/bin/scala" export PATH="/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH" export MYSQL_CONNECTOR_JAR="/usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java-5.1.10.jar"
4. Rebuild and Run.
cd /usr/share/etherpad/etherpad/ bin/rebuildjar.sh clearcache /etc/init.d/etherpad stop /etc/init.d/etherpad start

Etherpad on Android based devices

This isn’t working yet, nor is it working on the iphone. It is because the web browser that comes on these devices does not have the correct support for the Etherpad objects. You can however view pads in read only by browsing to the usual URL.We expect more mobile support in late 2010 but it may not be something we can change server side, it may be dependant on the client device browser implementing designMode. Opera Mini now has partial support for designMode however I haven’t tested Etherpad with it. *Update 31/03/2010 – This doesn’t work
iPhone claims to have support for this but of course it doesn’t work.
Android’s web browser is built on the WebKit application Framework. Optional browsers Steel and Dolphin do not appear to support designMode at current.
