ArcGIS Server 10.3 - Could not create object 'ConfigurationFactory'

AndrewHenry — Wed, 24 Jun 2015 11:27:19 GMT

Hi,

I have successfully installed ArcGIS Sever 10.3 on Ubuntu but when I try to create a new site I get the error message:

0x80040154 - Could not create object 'ConfigurationFactory'.

I have attached the log contents from the time I start the server to trying to create the site. I know Ubuntu is not supported but I would be very grateful for any suggestions.

Cheers,

Andy.

Andy,

It sounds like one or more of the required packages are missing or corrupt.

In particular I would check to make sure you have the Mesa GL libraries installed.

If you run the <installation path>/server/tools/serverdiag/serverdiag script, does it pass the 'Check installed packages' test?

Greetings Andy,

As you've already stated technically Ubuntu is not one of the supported Operating Systems for an ArcGIS Server Linux install. Please see the link below:

System requirements—Installation Guides (10.3 and 10.3.1) | ArcGIS for Server

I do agree with Danny that most likely you are simply missing a package. The above link will also supply a list of packages as well for the supported versions. This will probably add some insight to the missing packages for your Ubuntu instance.

I hope this information helps.

Thanks Daniel and Dustin for the feedback however after installing, what I think are all the necessary dependencies I am still getting the same error. Interestingly when I run the serverdiag script I get this ouput:

esri@zoo:~$ arcgis/server/tools/serverdiag/serverdiag

Do you think the N/A's are an issue? I am considering a fresh install to see if anything changes.

Andy,

More than likely those N/A's are the result of the serverdiag script being written specifically for Red Hat and Red Hat-like operating systems. I don't think it is expecting a Debian-based OS.

Did you also install the 32 bit versions of any of those packages you installed?

Can you specify the exact package name for the Mesa GL library you installed?

DanielUrbach — Thu, 25 Jun 2015 19:13:14 GMT

Also, what version of Ubuntu are you running?

the Ubuntu version is 14.04. I did not install the 32 bit versions of any

DanielUrbach — Fri, 26 Jun 2015 14:54:53 GMT

Andy,

For what it's worth, I managed to get ArcGIS Server 10.3.1 working on Ubuntu Server 14.04 after installing the following packages (all 64-bit):

gettext

libgl1-mesa-dri

libglib2.0-0

libglu1-mesa

libxext6

libxtst6

x11-xkb-utils

libx11-6

libxdmcp6

libxrender1

libxau6

xvfb

If you can verify that these packages are installed, and all of the other requirements are met and it still gives you that error, I recommend trying a reinstallation.

AndrewHenry — Fri, 26 Jun 2015 15:22:19 GMT

Hi Daniel,

thank you for all the feedback. I really appreciate it. It is good to know you got it working!

It now seems like my issue is with xvfb...which doesn't want to start!

Re: ArcGIS Server 10.3 - Could not create object 'ConfigurationFactory'

DanielUrbach — Fri, 26 Jun 2015 15:46:56 GMT

After going back and trying to install 10.3, I run into the same problem. I get the error "ERROR: Unable to start Xvfb on any port in the range 6600 - 6619" when running the startserver.sh script.

I ran into the same problem when 10.3 first came out and I tried to install it on RHEL 7. I never got to the bottom of why it was happening, but the issue was fixed in 10.3.1.

Re: ArcGIS Server 10.3 - Could not create object 'ConfigurationFactory'

AndrewHenry — Fri, 26 Jun 2015 15:50:35 GMT

Good to know! Is it possible to upgrade from 10.3 to 10.3.1?

Re: ArcGIS Server 10.3 - Could not create object 'ConfigurationFactory'

DanielUrbach — Fri, 26 Jun 2015 16:00:19 GMT

I have not tested that but I believe you can simply run the .Setup script with the -d argument, specifying the existing installation location and it *SHOULD* perform an upgrade.

But if you have not even created a site yet, my recommendation is to simply delete the installation directory and start over with version 10.3.1, just to make sure its a clean install.

Re: ArcGIS Server 10.3 - Could not create object 'ConfigurationFactory'

AndrewHenry — Fri, 26 Jun 2015 16:39:26 GMT

Daniel could you share the contents of the 10.3.1 init_xvfb script so I

could check for any glaringly obvious differences?

Re: ArcGIS Server 10.3 - Could not create object 'ConfigurationFactory'

DanielUrbach — Fri, 26 Jun 2015 20:32:21 GMT

Andy,

I'm interested to see if you manage to find a solution to this xvfb issue. I spent quite a bit of time trying to work it out on Red Hat 7 when 10.3 came out, but after getting a bug logged for it (which was closed as being fixed in 10.3.1) I gave up on that endeavor. I'm guessing what's happening here in Ubuntu 14.04 is the same issue.

I'm curious as to how you got past this Xvfb issue initially, as you originally said you were getting an error in creating the site, which means you were able to get 10.3 started.

Re: ArcGIS Server 10.3 - Could not create object 'ConfigurationFactory'

AndrewHenry — Tue, 30 Jun 2015 14:46:41 GMT

Hi Daniel,

after updating my init_xvfb script to the 10.3.1 version everything worked! How I got past this problem initially is uncertain. I did install ArcGIS-103-S-SCFSSP-Patch-lx.tar but unsure if that made a difference. After I checked all the dependencies were correct I decided to do a fresh install in frustration! So even if I wanted to I can't go back and check if I changed anything in the original xvfb_inti.sh script (which is possible). But as everything seems to work with one script replacement I guess that's where the issue lies.
