CROWD installation with 404 error

Won Je Choi December 22, 2017

Trying to evaluate CROWD to sign-in to JIRA and Confluence using Azure o365 SSO. 

It is a fresh installation with 3.1.1 ver in our AWS environment. 

Getting following error, if attach /crowd in the url.

HTTP Status 404 – Not Found


Type Status Report

Message /crowd/console/

Description The origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists.


Apache Tomcat/8.5.20

 

Crowd-home directory is empty, but I was able to get following error from crowd-installation directory:

22-Dec-2017 16:54:37.095 SEVERE [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.startInternal One or more listeners failed to start. Full details will be found in the appropriate container log file

Hi @Won Je Choi

It's really hard to say without seeing the full log (apache-tomcat/logs/catalina.out) but here are some basic things you should probably check:

  1. Make sure that you installed a full JDK 8 (JRE is not enough and Java 9 is not supported yet) and that you set a JAVA_HOME environment variable pointing at it.
  2. Make sure that the crowd.home property in crowd-webapp/WEB-INF/classes/crowd-init.properties points to an existing folder and that the user running Crowd has all rights on that very folder

Thank you

Won Je Choi December 22, 2017

which user runs Crowd? @Bruno Vincent kind of confused after setting up JIRA and Confluece because I know that owner of JIRA directories has to be JIRA and Confluece for Confluence. Is it going to be crowd for running Crowd too? thank you!

The OS user that you used to run the start_crowd script.

Anyway:

Unsupported major.minor version 52.0

Your JDK version is the problem here. Install JDK 8 and make sure that JAVA_HOME is pointing at it.

It can be any user you want. It's actually a common practice to name it crowd but it's really up to you!

You might want to take a look at this page as I assume you're running Linux: https://confluence.atlassian.com/crowd/setting-crowd-to-run-automatically-and-use-an-unprivileged-system-user-on-unix-211649189.html

Thank you! @Bruno Vincent I was able to get to the page where I configure Database, but not getting this error...Could not connect to the database: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: The connection attempt failed.

 

I followed the instruction from: https://confluence.atlassian.com/crowd/postgresql-4030906.html

and filled in with all the correct information... do you know what the problem would be? Thank you so much!

Again, you'll probably get more info in catalina.out. If you're absolutely sure about the database name and the database user credentials, I suspect some network problem (bad or unresolvable hostname? bad port? maybe some firewall blocking the connection to your database).

Mark Konwinski December 22, 2017

Having a similar issue. Mine is upgrading from Crowd 2.7.2 to 3.1.1. I start Crowd and can see the process running, but Tomcat throws a 404. From the catalina.out

I checked everything and it seems like everything is configured properly.  thank you so much!

Won Je Choi December 27, 2017

@Bruno Vincent fyi, I also have copied the postgresql driver following instruction from https://confluence.atlassian.com/crowd/postgresql-4030906.html which did not work :(

Hi @Won Je Choi

This does not look like a driver problem, otherwise you would get a ClassNotFoundException. The problem is that Crowd cannot connect to your database, so you should double check the connection settings with your DBA. You might also want to run a simple nc from your Crowd server to check that the database server is actually listening on the provided port:

$ nc <db_hostname> <db_port>
Won Je Choi December 27, 2017

Hi @Bruno Vincent

I have done the same thing as when I set up JIRA and Confluence and they are connected to the same database. Is there a certain crowd config file that I have to configure?

Won Je Choi December 27, 2017

@Bruno VincentYes, you were right! I was missing a security group...thank you so much!
