New 5.5 install not copying config to nuxeo.xml

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.

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.
