Tomcat update/install fails on windows

[dhausman]

Trying to run the windows installer to upgrade tomcat and it keeps failing. I even tried uninstalling Jamf. Removed the JSS folder. Ran the installer to install clean.... Still failing. Looks like it is tomcat.

Here is the relevant log information from the installer. Anyone have any advice?

Can you post what is in the service.bat file?

That appears to be the source of 30 second time out error.

Sometimes it takes a good while for Tomcat to stop and/or start the service.

Have you tried manually stopping the service and then running the update?

[dhausman]

I probably should have posted... I had the tomcat service stopped already before I ran the uninstall. Then I rebooted (after the install there was no tomcat service installed) and then I installed. So if the installer is waiting for the service to stop... there is no service. I will go back and try and pull the batch file out.

[dhausman]

Here is the service.bat

I just had this problem today on my test server after I updated to 10.6.2.

I worked with my JAMF Buddy to resolve it. It's a bug (PI-005531).

I worked on this for about 5 hours before I gave up and called JAMF so I am hoping this helps you and others get this resolved.

Updated the Java Options in C:Program FilesJSSTomcatin omcat8w.exe

-Dcatalina.home=C:Program FilesJSSTomcat 
-Dcatalina.base=C:Program FilesJSSTomcat 
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=C:Program FilesJSSTomcatendorsed 
-Djava.io.tmpdir=C:Program FilesJSSTomcat	emp 
-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager 
-Djava.util.logging.config.file=C:Program FilesJSSTomcatconflogging.properties

Restarted Tomcat

[dhausman]

I checked my java options....

-Dcatalina.home=D:JSSTomcat
-Dcatalina.base=D:JSSTomcat
-Dignore.endorsed.dirs=D:JSSTomcatendorsed
-Djava.io.tmpdir=D:JSSTomcat emp
-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager
-Djava.util.logging.config.file=D:JSSTomcatconflogging.properties

Looked good there.
As an update, this is how I got it installed this time...

When I run the Jamf Installer msi, it gets to the very end of the install where it installs a new tomcat service but for whatever reason the jamf installer times out and quits and gives me an error. I look in the jss directory and everything is there.

My work around to get jamf updated is to go into d:/jss/tomcat/bin and run service.bat install after I run the jamf install/upgrade package and it fails. It takes around 90 seconds, but it gets the tomcat service installed properly.

I have a support ticket open with Jamf. I would love to get an installer that gives me 2 minutes for that service to install. I bet the Jamf msi would not fail if the tomcat service installation batch file had enough time.

[hansjoerg_watzl]

@ShaunRMiller83 Hmm...so your fix was just to update the java options and restart the service? Before or after running the JAMF installer?

I wanted to update our JAMF Pro 10.6.0 to 10.6.2 these days (running on a Windows 2008 R2 server), but I guess, I'm waiting and hope for a quick fix.

[ShaunRMiller83]

Correct, we did the upgrade to 10.6.2, Changed the Java options, and restart Tomcat

[dhausman]

Small update, Was testing something with Jamf... I did a clone of my VM for my Jamf server and started it up with a network card. I did an uninstall and a reinstall and everything worked perfect no errors. So I am wondering if the network is coming into play for the service install. My current plan is when the next version of Jamf comes out, I am going to snapshot my VM, do an upgrade. If the installer fails again, I am going to restore the snapshot and try again without a NIC and see if it works that way. Will post my results here.

[jhayes]

I'm having the same issue; the install gets to the point where it is trying to install the new Tomcat8 service, times out, and then fails. I found in the MSI log the following:

E�x�c�e�p�t�i�o�n� �t�h�r�o�w�n� �b�y� �c�u�s�t�o�m� �a�c�t�i�o�n�:�

However, it did create the service. When I start the service manually, I'm able to log into Jamf Pro, but now my Tomcat certificate is expired (it wasn't before). I'm thinking there is a copy/restore process that happens after the Tomcat service is installed but it never gets the chance to do that. Not knowing if other critical changes have happened in addition the the Tomcat SSL cert getting fried, I revert the snapshot. Perhaps I could re-generate a new Tomcat cert and things would work, but it seems to me that Jamf fixing the installer would be a better option.

Any help or advice is welcome,
Justin

[hansjoerg_watzl]

Anybody tested if the Windows installer for 10.7 is now fixed?

[dhausman]

I have it in change management to install Thursday 9/20. I am working with someone in support, they are going to watch me update.

Dan

[dhausman]

so here is what I found.... If I disable my Network interface card (in software on vmware) the tomcat service installs perfectly. If the network is off, it fails. Support is going back to look into it internally and get back to me.
