Crowd Installation error -->HTTTP Status 404 - Not Found

[Ayesha Karunaratne]

I was using Crowd 3.0.2 and noticed there is a newer release (Crowd 3.1.1) tried to install this version and got the above error message.

Any assistance is appreciated.

[AnnWorley]

I understand you are installing Crowd on a different server or you shut down Crowd 3.0.2 to make sure there is no port conflict on port 8095.

In order to install Crowd, it is necessary to 

Specify your Crowd Home directory by editing the configuration file at: {CROWD_INSTALL}\crowd-webapp\WEB-INF\classes\crowd-init.properties. 

Based on the log entries you posted, "Full details will be found in the appropriate container log file" I suspect there may be something in the home directory log that will give us a better hint:

11-Dec-2017 09:54:14.038 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
11-Dec-2017 09:54:14.038 SEVERE [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.startInternal Context [/crowd] startup failed due to previous errors

[Ayesha Karunaratne]

I have added crowd.home=C:/data/Crowd-home to crowd-init.properties.

How do I shut down Crowd 3.0.2 ?

The C:\data\crowd-hone\logs\atlassian-crowd has log details on 2017-12-07 which relates to crowd version 3.0.2

Log file is very long. I have give some from the start and entries from the end. All these relate to 07/12/2017. (i.e. version 3.0.2)

Hi @Ayesha Karunaratne

From the last log entry you've shared it seems that jdbc/CrowdTest jndi context is not defined in your server.xml which might be the cause why the Crowd application is not starting up.

Could you check the <crowd-install>/apache-tomcat/conf/server.xml contains jdbc/CrowdTest?

Could you also share why are you using jdbc jndi resource rather than jdbc connection?

Hope that helps,

Marcin Kempa

[Ayesha Karunaratne]

Hi Marcin,

If you followed my email trail I said I initially used version 3.0.2. The log (C:\data\crowd-hone\logs\atlassian-crowd ) is from this version. Yes I had a database issue and I should have used CrowdTest. This is my first time trying to install Atlassian products.  Since jdbc connection didn't work I tried jndi connection. Instruction given is inadequate to understand the environment for first time user.

Since I saw a newer version (version 3:1;1) I tried to use that. I do not get to initial wizard screen. ( I was able to get here from version 3.0.2)

I have set up JAVA_HOME, CROWD_HOME and have run  the start_crowd.bat file as the administrator.

Unfortunately your reply is not relevant to my issue. Appreciate your time.

Hi @Ayesha Karunaratne

Sorry I did not search for your other questions previously, thus I probably did not see the whole picture.

My current understanding of your issue is that you are installing Crowd on some test environment. You've started with 3.0.2 version but once 3.1.1 was released you've decided to move on to the latest one.

From your previous questions I am not sure if you succeeded in spinning up Crowd 3.0.2 and if you've managed to connect it to database (MSSql in your example). Also I am not sure how did the upgrade process look like? I assume that you've stopped previous Crowd process (3.0.2) and then started 3.1.1 with the same config (crowd-init.properties, pointing to the same home directory).

If this is your test environment and provided that you do not have any crucial data / configuration in Crowd's database I would suggest to start installing Crowd 3.1.1 from scratch again.

First of all please select a dedicated machine for your test Crowd installation. Since you are setting up a test instance I assume that no other Crowd applications will be running on it (if you need to stop any Crowd instance make sure it is not in production use).

Once you are ready, please follow the instruction mentioned here https://confluence.atlassian.com/crowd/installing-crowd-24248834.html. For home directory I suggest using a new, empty one.

Please make sure you are running Crowd on supported platforms (for example Java9 is not yet supported).

If you happen to run into database connectivity issues, please let us know and post logs from the Crowd setup {crowd-home}\logs\atlassian-crowd.log. If possible I would go for JDBC connection rather than JNDI one.

Best Regards,

Marcin Kempa

I am doing a new installation. ( Not a upgrade). I have installed JAVA8U152. I am trying to use the wizard. http://localhost:8095/crowd

Cannot get to the first screen. says

'Page cannot be displayed' yesterday it said 'HTTP Status 404-Not Found'

[Marcin Kempa]

@Ayesha Karunaratne

Could you share the log files from your instance covering the Crowd application startup?

The logs are located here:

• <crowd-home>/logs
• <crowd-install>/apache-tomcat/logs

Please share both Crowd and Apache Tomcat log and send those files to my email address: mkempa@atlassian.com

Best Regards,

Marcin Kempa

[Ayesha Karunaratne]

I manage to install crowd 3.1.1 using the wizard successfully.

Unable to invoke crowd. using either of links

http://localhost:8095/crowdtest/

http://SOHCROWDT:8095/crowdtest/

SOHCROWDT = server on which Crowd is installed

[Marcin Kempa]

Hi @Ayesha Karunaratne,

I am glad that you was able to install Crowd using setup wizard.

As for your current problem, by default Crowd should be accessible on 8095 port and context root /crowd. For example:

http://localhost:8095/crowd

Did you modify the context path in the 

<Crowd-Install>/apache-tomcat/conf/server.xml

?

Or maybe did you modify Base URL in the setup wizard?

Right now it is hard for me to understand why so you expect Crowd to be running on /crowdtest context path.

Please note that by only changing the base url in the Crowd's setup wizard you actually do not change the url you would normally access Crowd's console in the web browser.

The base url defined in the setup wizard, which can also be changes in Crowd console config, is used for things like for example generated links for user's password reset.

I hope that this helps!

Hi Ayesha,

Thanks for trying Crowd 3.1.1.

Please let me know what steps you took to install the new version of Crowd and whether it was an upgrade or a new installation that produced the error.

Please let us know any related error messages in the logs located at:

• <crowd-home>/logs
• <crowd-install>/apache-tomcat/logs

I look forward to hearing more about the issue you are running into.

Thanks,

Ann

The log on Crowd_home is for 3.0.2 version. I am doing a new installation
