RHQ Installation

[virchete]

Hi,

I am a developer of the project Jboss Overlord. I am trying to perform a deployment in the RHQ platform.

These are the steps I followed based on the official documentation:

- Install PostGresql and create a database.

- Modify the rhq-server.properties updating it with the postgress database information.

- ./rhqctl install --start

I am using jdk 7.

I receive the following exception:

12:50:08,085 ERROR [org.rhq.enterprise.server.installer.Installer] The installer will now exit due to previous errors: java.lang.Exception: Cannot obtain client connection to the RHQ app server!!

Hi David,

This is documented in the 4.1.2 Release Notes:

https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/RHQ/Release+Notes+4.12#ReleaseNotes4.12-Cannotuserhqctlinstalloption%22start%22

Here is the content of the note:

Cannot use rhqctl install option "--start"

You cannot use "rhqctl install --start" when installing. The RHQ Server fails to reload itself during the installation process when you do this. Instead, execute "install" separate from "start" - as an example: rhqctl install && rhqctl start

I know, just when you get used to something it changes.

Hi Mike,

I just tried your solution, and the same error appears. I have executed     ./rhqctl install and the stacktrace error is the same.

RHQ is layered on EAP.  It starts the underlying EAP and then the installer uses the jboss cli to install RHQ into EAP.  For some reason it seems EAP can't start up on the default 9999 port.  And therefore the RHQ installer can't connect to EAP.   Do you have something else running on 9999?   Check your logs to see if you can determine the issue.  They are in rhq-install-dir/logs.

Hi David,

Have you tried using a prebuilt RHQ server, as those in docker images available internally on Red Hat? It might be easier for you as you do not need to pollute your system with installation of RHQ related to test an Overlord feature.

Ping me on IRC (jmorales) if you want to follow up on this.
