Issue | Unable to start aveksa_server service after changes were made to the server to make it more secure. The following errors display when starting the service or obtaining a status:$ service aveksa_server start Upon further investigation the environment variables, such as AVEKSA_HOME and ORACLE_GRID_HOME, which are normally set in the script setDeployEnv.sh (and if AFX is installed, the setAFXEnv.sh) are not set for use by the aveksa_server process. When modifying your server environment, make sure user .bash_profile scripts, that set the environment, work properly and that the processes start when the operating system is rebooted. |
Cause | Not setting environment variables can cause the services to fail to start. The scripts setDeployEnv.sh and setAFXEnv.sh are located in the /root directory and are executed if the environment variables are not set for the user running the aveksa_server and afx_server service scripts. These scripts are also located in the following directories:
Environmental changes to permissions, etc., can cause issues with running RSA Via L&G and AFX. |
Resolution | If a copy of these scripts is kept in /root, they will be picked up when the services are started from /etc/init.d/aveksa_server or from /etc/init.d/afx_server either by a user or when the operating system is started. When creating new users who will be administrating RSA Via L&G services, you may want to ensure their /home/<username>/.bash_profile is executing the scripts that set the environment variables. The following is an example from an installation with AFX, from the /home/oracle/.bash_profile: . ./setDeployEnv.sh |
Notes | Making any changes that customize the RSA Via L&G environment are done at the customer's own risk. If a customer experiences repeated issues due to environmental customizations, it is recommended to set the environment back to how it was originally installed. |
