Jonathan,

Mark Cooper, who developed the automated installer, passed on this response to your ElasticSearch problem. I've cc'd him here in case you have any additional questions:

When I went to run the installer I saw that the java role dependency was updated to default install java 11. I went ahead and preemptively updated the installer to pin to 8:

https://github.com/collectionspace/cspace-installer/commit/45de5986151cbaffe4cc75abc6f59042de86dd93https://github.com/collectionspace/cspace-installer/blob/pin-java8/group_vars/all.yml#L23-L25

Then I ran the installer and all appears to be well. No hiccups on ElasticSearch. So I think we want to ask Jonathan to remove / uninstall Java. Add the changes from the master branch, or use the latest master branch locally, then rerun the installer.

On the server the java verson should be 8:

openjdk version "1.8.0_265"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_265-8u265-b01-0ubuntu2~18.04-b01)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.265-b01, mixed mode)

javac 1.8.0_265

Subject: [Talk] 6.0 Installer hangs on "Make sure Elasticsearch is running before proceeding"

Hello,

I’m attempting to install CollectionSpace 6. The installer returns a series of “ok”s until “Start Elasticsearch”, which returns “changed.” Then the installer hangs on “Make sure Elasticsearch is running before proceeding.” I’ve tried restarting the installer several times, with no change. Is there anything I can check for? This is a freshly created and updated Ubuntu LTS 18 VM.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Hi Megan and Mark,

Thanks much for your help. Oddly, I was initially able to get past this hangup by simply increasing the specs on my VM. But I started from scratch with the newest version of the repo and everything works.

That said! I tried setting up a new tenant on my fresh installation. Everything seemed to work well. Catalina.out indicates that my new tenant ("momm," based on "core") is active. But when I try to navigate to cspace/momm/login, I'm immediately redirected to cspace/core/login. Is there any step I might have missed? Any specific logs to check for issues? Any immediate culprits?

Thanks!
Jonathan
