[Draft] KB-XXXX Data Server fails to start with ' Data Server is not configured to run on' message

Symptoms

The data server fails to start with the following message during startup: 

2018-07-30 13:47:48,072 wd-5400 [main] INFO com.appian.data.server.Watchdog - Data Server is not configured to run on 'localhost' according to the topology. It is configured to run on 'example'. DataServer is shutting down.

Cause

The data-server host section in appian-topology.xml is set to example and not the hostname specified in the license file. 

Action

Change the following data-server section in the appian-topology.xml file to reflect the hostname specified in the product license. For example, if the following configuration exists: 

<data-server-cluster> 
    <data-server host="example" port="5400" rts-count="1"/> 
</data-server-cluster>

however, the hostname specified in the product license is localhost, the following change is necessary:
<data-server-cluster>

    <data-server host="localhost" port="5400" rts-count="1"/>
</data-server-cluster>

Please note that the above change must be made in the following locations:

  • <APPIAN_HOME>/conf/
  • <APPIAN_HOME>/search-server/conf/
  • <APPIAN_HOME>/data-server/conf

Affected Versions

This article applies to Appian 18.1 and later.
