Not able to install Stash on Dell R 720

[Srijiv Dimri]

Hi Experts, I am in the process of installing Stash . When I run the stash start-up script, it says that it has succesfully started and we could now access it on port 7990.

When I go to the web-browser and try to access it, it gives me a weird error message :-

A Fatal Error has occured.

The Spring WebApplicationcontext could not be started.

Please help me how to get this fixed.

Appreciate all your help in advance.

[Srijiv Dimri]

Thanks everyone for your precious time.

I checked the logs and there are many log files for Stash as you can see below :-

Gauss atlassian-stash-3.1.3 # vim logs/

catalina.2014-07-21.log localhost.2014-07-21.log

catalina.2014-07-22.log localhost.2014-07-22.log

catalina.out manager.2014-07-21.log

host-manager.2014-07-21.log manager.2014-07-22.log

host-manager.2014-07-22.log

I tried to check the logs under localhost.2014-07-21.log and localhost.2014-07-22.log and found the same messages except the change in date and time :-

Jul 22, 2014 6:15:10 AM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log

Please help me in getting this resolved , as I am not sure where the issue lies.

Appreciate all your help in advance.

Look in $STASH_HOME/log.

atlassian-stash.log is the main one.

FYI: atlassian-stash-access.log may also contain useful info.

[Balázs Szakmáry]

Somebody already had this problem, take a look here.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

There are dozens of reasons this could be happening. There's little point chasing one particular answer until you have enough evidence to say it might be the right one. For short and non-specific error messages like this one, read the log file before assuming it's any one error

[Srijiv Dimri]

Thanks everyone for the prompt reply. Where could I check the log message for Stash ? When I start the stash service, I get the below message :-

Gauss bin # ./start-stash.sh

To run Stash in the foreground, start the server with start-stash.sh -fg

Starting Atlassian Stash as current user

Detecting JVM PermGen support...

PermGen switch is supported. Setting to 256m\n

Using STASH_HOME: /home/stash

Using CATALINA_BASE: /home/ken/atlassian-stash-3.1.3

Using CATALINA_HOME: /home/ken/atlassian-stash-3.1.3

Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /home/ken/atlassian-stash-3.1.3/temp

Using JRE_HOME: /etc/java-config-2/current-system-vm

Using CLASSPATH: /home/ken/atlassian-stash-3.1.3/bin/bootstrap.jar:/home/ken/atlassian-stash-3.1.3/bin/tomcat-juli.jar

Using CATALINA_PID: /home/ken/atlassian-stash-3.1.3/work/catalina.pid

Existing PID file found during start.

Removing/clearing stale PID file.

Success! You can now use Stash at the following address:

http://localhost:7990/

Appreciate all your help.

All the log files are in a log folder under STASH_DATA. (On Windows, STASH_DATA is defined by an environment variable, not sure about linux.)

[jcurleyWR]

I just had this problem. Check your disk space and specifically, your temp space. On unix, it is in /tmp. I don't know what it is on windows (assuming your DELL machine is windows).

[Balázs Szakmáry]

It is running linux.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

What does the log file say?

[Srijiv Dimri]

Thanks for looking into this. Here are the logs from

Please let me know if that points to something. Appreciate all your help.

I'd say your networking on that machine is more than a little bit broken.

Gauss: unknown error

java.net.UnknownHostException: Gauss: Gauss: unknown error

at java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost

This implies the service can't find "gauss", which also looks like the local machine, so I'd start with a check of the DNS, host and routing files.

[Srijiv Dimri]

This is what my /etc/hosts file looks like :-

# IPv4 and IPv6 localhost aliases

#127.0.0.1 localhost

127.0.0.1 hostname

::1 localhost

And this is the o/p for hostname :-

Gauss ~ # hostname

Gauss

I am not sure what else to check.

Appreciate all your help.

When I start the Stash service on my server and try to connect to it from itself on port 7990, i see the connection to be open

Gauss bin # telnet 10.214.10.51 7990

Trying 10.214.10.51...

Connected to 10.214.10.51.

Escape character is '^]'.

^C

Connection closed by foreign host.

Gauss bin #

Gauss bin #

Gauss bin # telnet localhost 7990

Trying 127.0.0.1...

Connected to localhost.

Escape character is '^]'.

But when I try from some other machine via vpn, it does not connect.

Any idea as to why this is happening.

Appreciate all your help in advance.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

What happens when you try "ping gauss"?
