Web console installation
-
Hi!
Just tried your installation sequence on fresh ubuntu 20.04, nxmc correctly opens on port 8080
-
Thanks, but I don't think I have SSL enabled and the page loads fine just will not connect to the service. When I try to log in I get 'Connection error, connected timed out'. Does it need SSL enabling?
-
I had error when tried to connect to 8080 via https. Should just use http.
-
Ah, yes, OK. So HTTP loads but gives the connect error when I try to log in. The server is running and I can connect from the desktop console just not the WebUI.

Just in case, show nxmc log file:
/var/lib/tomcat9/work/Catalina/localhost/nxmc/eclipse/workspace/.metadataTry deleting tomcat workspace:
stop tomcat process
delete /var/lib/tomcat9/work folder
start tomcat again -
Oh now that's interesting. Hadn't found that log file but in there it has:
!MESSAGE Server address resolved from NETXMS_SERVER: x.x.x.xThe address being returned is not the address of itself but for the @ record for the machine's domain, which in this case is a public address. What is it trying to resolve to get that? As far as I can tell /etc/hosts and DNS are set up correctly.
-
Seems that you do have a DNS records NETXMS_SERVER or it's in your hosts file. Web console uses it as one of the options for situations when web console in installed on another machine. See here:

I definitely do not have an entry anywhere but by adding it I can now log in to the WebUI. So does it not attempt local before checking for NETXMS_SERVER or should there always be an entry for NETXMS_SERVER?
-
It tries several ways, as per documentation, to get server address and takes localhost as last resort. Normally none of these is set. Could be that something changed after you launched the web api on that server.

Thanks so much for the help and guidance, it's much appreciated. All working happily now and my frustration is over
