Web Adaptor properties file on 10.1 (unix version)

[DaveWeiss]

After installing the webadaptor on 10.1 (unix) I have tried to configure it. I get an error that says "Unable to register the GIS Server with the Web Adaptor". Also, there is an error in tomcat saying it was unable to open the web_adaptor.properties file. Where should that file be and what should be in it? Thanks.

Hello again,
My suggestion would be to disconnect the web adaptor from the admin or manager page, and try to register again. Thank you very much-

No luck. I unregistered the web adaptor from the admin page. Then registered it again. If I register it from the admin page I don't get an error. If I register from the webadaptor page I get "Unable to register the GIS server with the Web Adaptor. Please make sure that the GIS server machine is running and that the account specified has administrative privileges to the site."

Though it will show up from the admin site, if I then go to the adaptor config page it still says no GIS servers are registered.

Hello Again,
Can you confirm you followed these steps:

Unregistered from the admin/manager endpoint
registered using the web adaptor configuration page (not the admin/manager page)

Thank you very much-

Yes, I unregistered from the admin page and tried to register from the webadaptor page.

I never got the linux adaptor to work. You can install a windows web adaptor and point it at the linux server and that works without any problems.

Hello Everyone,
The issue is most likely permissions. It seems that the config cannot update itself for whatever reason. Does your ArcGIS Install user have rights to the directory housing the web adaptor war file? Thanks-

same problem here, even after giving 777 to the /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/arcgis directory.
Honestly I have to test this for my company, but I start to be really fad up with this installer process that is totally linux unfriendly.
