New 4.0.5 install on SLES 15 no web response

Hi,

new server, new problem

My first SLES 15 server was installed by coworker.
Small installation w/o packages (just ssh, I had to add vnc manually).

- mariadb-10.3.13-linux-systemd-x86_64.tar.gz installed by hand
- added tk-32bit and tcl-32bit using yast
- vibe user and group created
now I could start the vibe installation procedure
installer.log reports all ok
- database created
- database properties assigned

Some show stopper: documentation recommends sles 15 or oes 18, but
firewall configuration steps points to old sles 11 or sles 12.

I disabled firewall completely ATM, because I have the command line
configuration only.

So I started the vibe service. Top reports the heavy cpu load by java.
ps -eaf | grep teaming shows a running process.

ss -4 -n -l reports no open ports on 80, 443, 8080 or 8443

catalina.out contains no errors, eventually this warning:
WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred
WARNING: Illegal reflective access by org.dom4j.io.SAXContentHandler
(file:/opt/novell/teaming/apache-tomcat/lib/ext/dom4j.jar) to method
com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.AbstractSAXParser$LocatorProxy.getEncoding()

also appserver.log with warnings only

what can I do?

Gotthard

    Hi Gotthard,

    As per the documentation, were the additional modules installed for SLES 15?

    Cheers,

    As I wrote:
    tk-32bit and tcl32-bit were installed. Without these modules the install
    process will not start.

    My question points to apache.

    Hi,

    finally solved in no safe way :-(

    provided way by docs with file /etc/init.d/after.local did not work.

    So I had to do the hard path:

    setting all ports in installation procedure to 80/80 and 443/443 and got
    a warning, the vibe service has to run as root.
    So I cancelled the installation, start new with root as service owner
    and now vibe is working.

    The migration from the old sles11 is also done.

    In any matter I have broken the MariaDb configuration. Service was dead
    after system start and I had to reanimate with systemctl restart mysql.

    So I followed
    https://superuser.com/questions/384365/systemctl-enable-differs-from-systemctl-start-how

    and wrote my own mysql.service. Additionally I moved mysql from
    /etc/init.d to an other position for using with mysql.service

    now all running fine.

    HTH

    Hi Gotthard,

    Running Vibe with root is not recommended as there is security risk.
    It is better sticking with port 8080 and 8443 and run Vibe with a normal
    user. You can set up port forward if you don't want users typing port
    numbers.

    Yes, the Vibe documentation on firewall is outdated. You need to take
    it as a reference and set it up with firewalld (firewall-cmd). Alternatively,
    you can use iptables script directly.

    Cheers
