Error starting server: com.rb.util.system.a130: No info for

Posted by surferking on 22-Nov-2013 00:15

Have installed latest Rollbase onto a new server to evaluate, but getting this in the logs...

==>> host1.domain.com Server is starting
com.rb.util.system.a130: No info for component host1.domain.com
at p16.a510.createInstance(a510.java:33)
at com.rb.prod.logics.servlet.Starter.init(Starter.java:42)
at javax.servlet.GenericServlet.init(GenericServlet.java:160)

The components file looks fine to me. I have changed the 'http' to 'https' for the ExternalRoot, as per another older Rollbase server we already have working. Otherwise, it's as per the distribution.

Any ideas what is causing this particular exception?

Do you happen to have environment variable PROD_SERVER set by any chance?

Posted by Laurent on 22-Nov-2013 08:36

P.S: the rationale behind my question is that, based on the stack trace provided, Rollbase is trying to start the Production Server with the wrong name (host1.domain.com).

To determine the Production Server name, Rollbase is first looking at environment variable PROD_SERVER and takes this value if set. If it cannot find it, it will use PROD1.

No, 'PROD_SERVER' isn't set. I haven't intentionally set it anywhere, and I don't recall any mention of it in the docs while I was setting it up. The tomcat7 process doesn't have it set...

There is ' ServerName' setting, which is what I understood from the docs (Ch18) was where it should be set. BTW, it's 'host.domain.com' for the purposes of this forum post, real hostname withheld.

Do I need to set a PROD_SERVER env var in the Tomcat environment (i.e. in /etc/default/tomcat7 on Ubuntu) for this to work? I haven't had to do that on our older server, which runs an older version of Rollbase, and that seems to work fine.

Thanks.

The ServerName setting is also taken into account although it has been deprecated. Either way, I see two workarounds: 1) set PROD_SERVER environment to PROD1 or 2) rename your PRoduction component name to host1.domain.com.

As far as the change in behavior, what is the older version of Rollbase?

Posted by surferking on 24-Nov-2013 09:38

1) No luck setting PROD_SERVER environment variable *or* system property to either 'PROD1' or 'host1.domain.com'.

2) How do I do that?

Older version of Rollbase: under System Information it says '1.0.0.0'. System files, ID is 75225765, and there is one jar with a version - rb_util.jar 08/02/2013 233037.

For 1) remember you may have to reboot your machine for the system environment variable to be taken into account.

For 2) edit the Production component in components.xml so that it says <Component name="host1.domain.com" type="PROD">

It's interesting that you didn't have the problem with Rollbase 1.0 as it seems to be using the exact same mechanism to determine the default production component.

Hi,

1) There's actually no need to reboot to have system environment variables take effect - unless perhaps you're running Windows :) Anyway, I must've been doing something wrong before, as I've now added the following line to the bottom of /etc/default/tomcat7 and 'sudo service tomcat7 restart' and the exception now longer comes up...

export PROD_SERVER=PROD1

2) I tried this too. It also works in that the exception no longer appears in the log on starting up. However, for now, I've gone with the environment variable method above to solve it.

I'm also curious as to why these tweaks weren't necessary for our 1.0 install, which I'm using as a reference alongside the installation instructions (which are largely the same as before, so I assume not much has changed between 1.0 and 2.0 at that level).

Anyway, this is now resolved. Thanks for your assistance.
