Can Not Configure Webadaptor ( com.esri.arcgis.server.wa.data.Config.initialize Unable to load web_adaptor.properties configuration file)

[MichaelNüßlein]

I am trying to configure a webadaptor,

but this fails

Unable to connect to WebAdaptor URL

a wget to the Url gets Error 400

viewn in a brwoser from a remote looks fine: The web adaptor configuration URL has to be accessed from the machine hosting the web adaptor. 

what can i do with: com.esri.arcgis.server.wa.data.Config.initialize Unable to load web_adaptor.properties configuration file

?

Webadaptor 10.8.1 under Linux

Repository : 1878 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP5 x86_64 SLES12-SP5-Updates for sle-12-x86_64
Name : tomcat
Version : 9.0.36-3.61.1

i solved it by downgrading tomcat 🙂

For me the problem was that tomcat service user had to have a writable home directory under Linux because the WebAdaptor wants to save its config file there (~/.webadaptor/...).

So for me 10.8.1 runs just fine with Tomcat 9.0.53
