New 5.5 install not copying config to nuxeo.xml

mxracer95_ — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:29:32 GMT

I've been having trouble getting a new 5.5 install to connect to my PostgreSQL server and I tracked it down to the config parameters not being copied to nuxeo.xml. Any suggestions on what to do?

Using CentOS 6.2.

You mean "not being copied to nuxeo.conf". Try to manually edit the nuxeo.conf file.

No, the nuxeo.conf file is correct, but the conf/Catalina/localhost/nuxeo.xml file is not being updated, at least it's not getting the PostgreSQL settings.

Can you check in your nuxeo.conf that the nuxeo.force.generation parameter is not set to false?

It is set to true.

What about the nuxeo.templates parameter?

nuxeo.templates=postgresql

Can you check you have "postgresql.target=." in templates/postgresql/nuxeo.defaults?<br>

Console.log looks normal.

I had a similar problem when I updated my template to 5.5. In the nuxeo.defaults file inside your template you must set the installation target according to the name of your template. For example, my custom template is called ima, so I have a setting in templates/ima/nuxeo.defaults which is ima.target=.

I got this solved.

Apparently, the xml file doesn't get updated with the postgresql settings if the database can't be reached. So this was a symptom, not the cause.

The cause turned out to be a simple firewall rule that was incorrect. In testing I had added rules to allow all traffic, but that wasn't sufficient. Once I completely disabled the firewall, nuxeo was able to connect to the database and everything worked great. Then we were able to recognize the bad rule.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to reproduce in order to make the cause being properly detected and logged.
