I'm spinning up new AWS EC2 Ubuntu 22.04 instances and trying to run the CF 2018 installer on them (because that's what we have licenses for.) Lately, the installer has been bombing with the following message/stack trace.

Copy code

Launching installer...

Some google-fu is pointing at the InstallAnywhere app having a problem with the temp directory. I've tried reassigning the temp directory, and increasing the volume and instance size. Nothing is working. The CF 2021 installer does not experience the same issue. I did notice that the description of the AMI from AWS reads "Canonical, Ubuntu, 22.04 LTS, amd64 jammy image build on 2023-02-08" so I'm wondering if this issue was introduced then. Has anyone else run into this?

Can you send me the exact Instalelr your using and I'll have a crack

pegarm

It's the one from CFMLrepo.com. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1p8FAdHucAC0VBDmHv8ftHgJLJ6MU6-g6/view?usp=share_link

Where does that error happen?

paul

03/15/2023, 5:09 AM

I have been able to install successfully

Really!? Here's my steps to reproduce: • AWS EC2 => Launch instance • Select QuickStart AMI for Ubuntu, Server 22.04 • Assign it a t3.medium instance, key pair, security group, give it 40 GB of storage, etc and launch it. • ssh into it. •

apt update && apt upgrade -y

•

apt install apache2 default-jre -y

•

wget <https://acf-installers.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/ColdFusion_2018_WWEJ_linux64.bin>

(this is where I copied the CF2018 installer from CFML Repo so I could wget it directly.) •

chmod +x ColdFusion_2018_WWEJ_linux64.bin

•

./ColdFusion_2018_WWEJ_linux64.bin

Video below shows the install of CF2018. http://35.87.40.169 is the Apache server running. (I'll leave that up today.) What did you do differently?

Literally those steps but a larger instance type. I’ll try with the smaller instance.

paul

03/15/2023, 8:14 PM

Actually I didn’t install a jre or Apache

pegarm

03/15/2023, 8:15 PM

Let me redo it without Apache or the default jre.

paul

03/15/2023, 8:15 PM

I forgot that http endpoint it whist listed to my up but it’s running fine

pegarm

03/15/2023, 8:15 PM

But I suspect it will still die.

paul

03/15/2023, 8:16 PM

It’s 7:15am so I’ll try the t3 when I start for the day

Same issue on a brand new machine. I'm wondering if the AMI you're using is different than the one I'm using in us-west-2

Just for arguments skae cna you also try a larger nstance size?

pegarm

03/15/2023, 10:13 PM

I did... I tried with a t3.2xlarge instance and m6a.large instance with the same results.

pegarm

03/15/2023, 10:13 PM

You got the same thing?

pegarm

03/15/2023, 10:13 PM

If so, good. (I mean good, but not good... "good, I'm not crazy.")

paul

03/15/2023, 10:17 PM

I wonder if I never did a sudo upgrade before

paul

03/15/2023, 10:17 PM

Let me try without that

paul

03/15/2023, 10:21 PM

Nah same dealk

paul

03/15/2023, 10:21 PM

It worked on Instance type t2.xlarge

paul

03/15/2023, 10:25 PM

Yeah, same with all t3 instance types.

pegarm

03/15/2023, 10:26 PM

So bizarre. I wonder if building it on a t2 then changing to a t3 would work.

paul

03/15/2023, 10:26 PM

I'm goignt o try with swap on

paul

03/15/2023, 10:35 PM

Follow this: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/ec2-memory-swap-file/. ( I made the swap 8gb )

paul

03/15/2023, 10:35 PM

And it worked
