Problem installing on RHEL5.5


Robin Parker (32633739) | asked Mar 07 '11, 7:15 p.m.
Hi all,

I'm trying to install RTC 3.0 on a remote RHEL 5.5 server.

I have disabled selinux
I have opened the ssh port, the vnc port and the 9443 port in the firewall.

Chain INPUT (policy DROP)

target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ssh
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpts:5900:5920
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:9443

Chain FORWARD (policy DROP)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain RH-Firewall-1-INPUT (0 references)
target prot opt source destination


I have done the install multiple times with the same result:

During setup, once the app registration is done, setup hangs at the public URI step for the CCM application. If I restart the setup and step through it again, it gets past this point and setup completes.

After that, access to jazz/admin hangs with the 'Loading...' message on screen while access to jts/admin seems fine.

Then finally running server.shutdown eventually results in a timeout as per the trace below.

Has anyone seen this behaviour before?

Many Thanks,

Robin

Short update on this as it's now resolved.

The problem with the shutdown command was that I hadn't opened the firewall for the shutdown command - see http://jazz.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15550 for details of the ports involved.

The problem with the ccm server not loading was the notorious "too many open files" error that I eventually found in the tomcat logs and rectified using the instructions as per http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v3r0/topic/com.ibm.jazz.install.doc/topics/c_special_server_considerations.html

HTH,

Robin
