Problem configuring service on RP ZW

[jane-t]

I have two Pi's configured for RA.
The third one is a Pi Zero.

If I log in and go to the room-assistant directory and type room-assistant it starts correctly and joins the cluster.
I have copied in the service file from https://www.room-assistant.io/guide/quickstart-pi.html#installing-room-assistant and can start the service, changing the restart to never to see the messages shows
`room-assistant.service - room-assistant service
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/room-assistant.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2021-04-13 11:18:37 BST; 10min ago
Process: 872 ExecStart=/usr/bin/room-assistant (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)
Main PID: 872 (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)

Apr 13 11:18:37 rapiz-1 systemd[1]: room-assistant.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.`

Trying to run
/usr/bin/room-assistant
also gives an error.

Can anyone suggest what I have missed

Thanks

The quickstart guide for the Pi Zero W contains a correct example for the service file on that platform. Most importantly the ExecStart path should be /opt/nodejs/bin/room-assistant. The Pi Zero is a bit of a special platform, which is why the path differs... I'm thinking about making the setup experience a bit better in the future.

You can also verify the correct path to use by running which room-assistant on the Pi.

Thanks - I knew it was something obvious I had done wrong, I just could not spot it. Having both sets of instructions open did not help.

Thanks for the command to verify the path. In my case, the correct path is /usr/local/bin/room-assistant

@mKeRix thanks for the info...waste a lot of time to search the good path lol
