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.
The data-server host section in appian-topology.xml is set to example and not the hostname specified in the license file.
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 configuration must replace it:
<data-server host="localhost" port="5400" rts-count="1"/>
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
This article applies to Appian 18.1 and later.
