Etherpad won’t start and errors with output
Etherpad Startup execution failed with non-200 response: 500
Cause:
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.
Hi all,
and dont forget if your Server has more IP to listen? Etherpad must know on which Ip and also Myscl has to listen on this IP.

Hello,
I tried to install Etherpad on my Ubuntu server but i get the non-200 issue. I also tried to fix it with your advice but i can’t figure out what’s wrong in my files…
I posted my question on the ubuntu forum, you can read it here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1552228
Thx !
Juste for the record, I’ve been hit by this bug and none of those solutions helped.
I figured out there’s a kernel setting in Debian that, in some cases, breaks Java networking on the system : net.ipv6.bindv6only=1
After setting that to 0, etherpad worked!
