It seems we are making progress. This log now show other errors that we can easily fix:

1. Error #1 (see below) indicates you forgot to configure your Primary DS in appian-ds.xml and instead JBoss is deploying its out of the box data source which will obviously not work with Appian nor with the security domain you specified in standalone.xml. Please correct this and restart JBoss

Bound data source [java:jboss/datasources/ExampleDS]
...
Access denied: authentication failed: java.lang.SecurityException: PBOX000016: Access denied: authentication failed

2. Error #2 indicates your appian-topology.xml is misconfigured and it has all its content commented out. This file needs to be fixed in ear\\suite.ear\\conf and search-server\\conf. This was fixed in hotfix A of 7.9 and since you're getting the error it makes me think you didn't deploy the hotfix correctly. In any case simply fix your topology file by uncommenting from <topology port="5000"> to </topology> (see attached example) on both directories

I decided to switch to Appian 7.9 since I tried deploying the contents of the hotfix E(just the ear directory's contents) to the runtime_ear directory and it still didn't work.....For 7.9 I did everything that was mentioned in the forum...configured everything using config.bat......did hotfix B......but still I am failing....again some invalid class references......can you help on this please? attached is the server.log....

The most current error in the log is:

12:00:00,503 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[default-host].[/suite]] (ServerService Thread Pool -- 58) JBWEB000287: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class com.appiancorp.common.config.ConfigurationLoader: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/appian/dl/txn/TxnIdOutOfTrackedRangeException
...
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.appian.dl.txn.TxnIdOutOfTrackedRangeException from [Module "deployment.suite.ear:main" from Service Module Loader]
...

This class is a part of appian-dl-repo-api-0.1.79.2.jar, which is present in <APPIAN_HOME>\\ear\\suite.ear\\lib.

However, from your server.log, I can also see that you are using runtime_ear.
appian.home.ear = C:/appian78_aswin/runtime_ear

Can you ensure that you have unzipped the contents of the ear directory from the HOTFIX in the <APPIAN_HOME>\\runtime_ear directory?

I deleted all jar files except for the fact that most of them have a 2.0 extension instead of 1.0 as mentioned in the forum. All instructions in the hotfix E has been followed correctly except for that fact. Still I am not able to load jboss successfully. Please advise. Attached is the new server log...

Eduardo Fuentes — Fri, 19 Jun 2015 06:13:24 GMT

I suggest you stop everything and re-apply Hotfix E. It seems the hotfix wasn't deployed properly and you have duplicate JARs

The instructions explain you need to delete some JARs before deploying the hotfix. Your environment has a class loader issue due to the improper deployment of the hotfix.

Used configuration manager....did hotfix E. since I am using the new jboss and java 8....but this time getting different errors....some classes don't seem to be there....Attaching server.log...

Eduardo Fuentes — Thu, 18 Jun 2015 07:01:09 GMT

Looking at the most recent version of your log I see the root cause is:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: [jdbc/AppianPrimaryDS] The schema is invalid.
...
Caused by: org.hibernate.HibernateException: Missing table: DT_MODEL

It seems that Appian thinks that it should have already created the tables but they are not visible therefore it doesn't try to create them again.

1. Are the tables there? (SELECT * FROM DT_MODEL)
2. Did you change the user in ds-name-security-primary at some point? Maybe the tables were created with one account then the user changed in ds-name-security-primary and this new account doesn't have access to see those tables?
3. Appian knows whether it created the tables already by populating the changelog table, if your changelog's are marked as executed then the tables won't be created again and Appian will try to find them.

If you can't guarantee the tables are not there, simply drop the never-used primary DS and create an empty one with the same name then restart JBoss.

Looking at the logs again, it seems like there is a nullPointerException, when it tries to call the getConnection method.

with:

Test it out, if it works.

It looks like it failed with a different exception.

Can you also attach your appian-ds.xml? (Before you proceed with this please ensure that you PURGE any sensitive data in the *-ds.xml file)

Looking at the server.log, the caused by for the exception in the stack trace is:

Could you try chaning the Binary Log format for your MySQL Server to Mixed and then restart the App-server?
