ArcGIS Server 10.3 Web Adaptor installation Linux

[HildegardGerlach1]

Hello,

we have an ArcGIS server installation on Linux- Redhat6. I um upgrading to version 10.3 from 10.2.2

No problems installing ArcGIS Server.

For Web Adaptor:

I have uninstalled the previous version and installed the new one as user arcgis (user for ArcGIS server). I tried as well as root but the error message is the same.

I copied the arcgis.war file then to the tomcat webapps directory.

When I try to access http://localhost:8080/arcgis/webadaptor

I get the following error message:

Unable to configure the GIS server with the Web Adaptor. Please make sure that that the GIS server machine is running and that the account specified has administrative privileges to the site.

I can't remember having done anything different with the version before and it worked. Where is the problem ?

The installation directory for ArcGIS Server and Web Adaptor is in /opt/arcgis.

Thanks for your help.

Hilde

Could there be an error in the arcgis.war file ?

The problem seems to have been a webadaptor configuration file webadaptor.config which is in the directory

tomcathome/.webadaptor/arcgis

removing this file and redeploying arcgis.war resolved the problem.

Anyway I have never encountered this problem before and didn't even realize that this file exists
