Sharepoint Agent upgrade failure

[Jason Wilcox]

I upgraded a 12.52Sp1 CR01 Sharepoint agent and i'm getting an odd error upon restart of the SAS.

from the nohup.out
Jun 24, 2019 3:09:32 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext setPath
WARNING: A context path must either be an empty string or start with a '/' and do not end with a '/'. The path [/] does not meet these criteria and has been changed to []
ProxyServer initialization failed.
Config File: 'D:\CA\Agent-for-SharePoint/proxy-engine/conf/server.conf')

this repeats 5 times.

From the server.log everything looks normal until:

[24/Jun/2019:03:09:36-906] [ERROR] - ProxyServer initialization failed.
[24/Jun/2019:03:09:36-906] [ERROR] - Config File: 'D:\CA\Agent-for-SharePoint/proxy-engine/conf/server.conf')

and then it just ends.


Any thoughts?

Hi Jason,

Do you see any abnormal messages in nohup.log?

Hi Jason,

To which version (CR) did you upgrade the Agent for Sharepoint ?

The error seems something related to embedded Tomcat server. You can
check the latest post to this thread to workaround the issue :

I hope this helps,

The upgrade was to 12.52 sp1 CR9...and yes I agree definitely a tomcat related issue. I saw that article and I have played with some variations on it, but not working, not sure if i'm really doing it right. Obviosly with the SPS setup catalina_home/conf exists, but not the rest of the referenced path.

So i've trien there and a few variations on app name with no success.

GWAN, that is the only message in the nohup.out, repeated three times.
