Actually, I have the features section in my glu-console-webapp.groovy. Can you provide another suggestion?

[ypujante]

Can you post the content of your file?

[gospodinbodurov]

Yes, wait a minute to obfuscate the critical data.

If you want, I can provide version of the mysql jetty library, too.

[ypujante]

Hmmm.. I am a bit puzzled. Your config file looks fine. Could you describe the exact steps you took to go from 4.5.0 to 5.0.0? Maybe that will give me a clue. Also, when I get a chance I will try to reproduce using your config file.

A couple of things to check:

• are you sure you don't have another config file as glu is trying to load several:

[ "${System.properties['user.dir']}/conf/glu-console-webapp.groovy",
  "${userHome}/.org.linkedin.glu/glu-console-webapp.groovy"].each { String filename ->

• can you boot the console and copy/paste the boot sequence from the console.log file

[gospodinbodurov]

Actually I found the problem it is the same as this one in Amazon, which I reported 7 or 8 months ago. The console server was not able to find its own hostname. The machine was on included in the DNS records and this lovely java function getLocalHost thrown an exception again. It will be a good idea to investigate what to happen in such condition, maybe you can add some kind of check whether the correct localhost is found?

Best,
Gospodin

[ypujante]

I am a bit puzzled that the console would boot if getLocalHost throws an exception and then fail later. I will implement a fix for the not a boolean error message, but the root of the problem is totally different and related to issue #164 Would you mind posting how you worked around the exception?

[gospodinbodurov]

Hi sorry for being late, but here was Easter during the last week. Actually, I created DNS server and added a record for console server machine. This solved the problem. I am sure, but this problem can be related to reading the config files via localhost? getLocalHost exception was treated like a WARNING by the jetty server and I am not sure what will be the state of localhost variable in glu after ignoring this warning.

[ypujante]

In regards to the getLocalHost() issue, glu 5.1.0 now has the concept of externalHost that can be defined in the meta model (https://github.com/pongasoft/glu/blob/master/provisioner/org.linkedin.glu.provisioner-core/src/main/java/org/pongasoft/glu/provisioner/core/metamodel/ConsoleMetaModel.java#L80)
