SPS TroubleShooting

[Legacy User]

Hello All,

 

I am facing an issue in my already existing SPS configuration the SHUT_DOWN_PORT, AJP_PORT are not showing up and service is down. I am also getting the below error when i restart the SPS instance :

 

[root@00001 proxy-engine]# ./sps-ctl stop

Apache has been successfully stopped..

Attempting to stop Secure Proxy Engine..

Sending stop message to server...

Cannot stop Proxy Engine

Unable to stop the Proxy Engine..

Proxy Engine may not be initialized or may not be running.

Consult Proxy Engine logs for details.

 

[root@00001 proxy-engine]# ./sps-ctl start

Successfully Started Apache..

Proxy Engine (pid ) already running. Cannot be started.

 

Can somebody please guide, what could be the possible issue and how can i do some troubleshooting at my end. It stopped suddenly and it was working fine and showing both SHUT_DOWN_PORT, AJP_PORT as well.

 

Thank You

Hello,

 

Did you checked the SPS server.log to see why TomCat is not starting ?

Was it working before ?

Have you made any changes to the server.conf ?

 

Hope it helps,

Julien

Hello Julien,

 

Yes, it was working before and suddenly stopped . There has been no change in server.conf file or to the full SPS configuration (no change at all) and nothing is present in the log as well /opt/app/CA/secure-proxy/sps/proxy-engine/logs/sag-error.log .

 

Anything else i can do at my end to troubleshoot this more?

 

Thank You

Hi Ankur,

 

Please delete sps.pid under tmp folder before starting the proxy engine. please stop the proxy engine and delete sps.pid from tmp folder and start the proxy engine.

 

[root@malsi07-I198976 tmp]# ls -ltr sps.pid
-rw-r--r--. 1 nobody nobody 6 Jul 13 18:33 sps.pid
[root@malsi07-I198976 tmp]# pwd
/opt/CA/secure-proxy/proxy-engine/tmp
[root@malsi07-I198976 tmp]#

 

Thanks,

Can we know the cause of this and how to prevent such errors from happening ?

Hi,

 

I feel SPS is not stopped properly, So might be the reason for  pid file is not deleted automatically.

 

Thanks,
