Validation Error in file custom.properties.dev

danielc0012

Hello Appian Community,

Hope you are doing fine!

I am new in Appian and I am installing an Appian 21.2 HA Distributed environment in RedHat RHEL 8.4, so far all the installation steps were successfully completed but I am stuck in the Validation step. This is my configuration:

  • Running as user Appian.
  • Created a new environment called dev.
  • Environment variables:
    • APPIAN_HOME=/opt/appian/appian
    • JAVA_HOME=/opt/appian/appian/java
    • PATH=/opt/appian/.local/bin:/opt/appian/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/opt/appian/appian/java/bin
  • Then my configuration files located in /opt/appian/appian/conf (I just modified the following files):
    • appian-topology.xml.dev
      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!--
  To override the default topology configuration:
  Create a file named appian-topology.xml

  Below are some examples of topology configurations
  that can be used.
-->

<!--
  HIGH-AVAILABILITY TOPOLOGY

  This example illustrates a topology for a basic
  high-availability configuration.  It requires 3 servers, but
  "machine3.domain.tld" does not have as high of a memory load
  as machine1.domain.tld and machine2.domain.tld.

  * 2 Nodes for Each Engine
  * 3 Node Search Cluster
  * 3 Node Kafka Cluster
  * 3 Node Zookeeper Cluster
  * 3 Node Data Server Cluster

  This topology is not supported in Windows environments, where only one
  instance of any service is allowed.

  Please make sure not to use "localhost" when distributing
  the application across different machines.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Gradle build daemon disappeared unexpectedly (it may have been killed or may have crashed)

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org
The configurations for the environment dev are incorrect. Update and run validation again.

As you can see, the error is the following:

Validating configurations for environment dev
Validation Error in file custom.properties.dev: missing property conf.data.APPIAN_DATA_SOURCE
Validation Error in file custom.properties.dev: missing property conf.suite.SERVER_AND_PORT

But in my configuration file custom.properties.dev those fields are configured and match with the Datasource name and with my server (https using 443 we dont have to add the port regarding the comments in the original custom.properties.dev):

conf.suite.SERVER_AND_PORT=appianloadbalancer.mydomain.com
conf.data.APPIAN_DATA_SOURCE=jdbc/AppianDS

Could you help me with this problem please?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Best regards,
