Spotfire Server does not start after changing server.xml file for HTTPS communication

[Espen Haldorsen 3]

I have used the documentation guide:https://docs.tibco.com/pub/spotfire_server/11.1.0/doc/html/TIB_sfire_ser...

I have done alle the changes acording to the documentation:

- stored the certificate in ./certs folder (.pfx)

- edited truststoreFile,truststorePass, andtruststoreType

- removed thethetruststoreFile,truststorePass, andtruststoreTypeparameters

- editedthecertificateKeyAlias

- commented connector port 80/ uncomented port 443 section

but when restaring the server i get ERROR 1067: Ther process terminaded uneexpectadly

 

In catalina.log Isee:

ERROR 2021-01-14T12:11:05,148+0100 [] catalina.startup.Catalina: Cannot start server, server instance is not configured

WARN 2021-01-14T12:11:22,755+0100 [] catalina.startup.Catalina: Unable to load server configuration from [C:tibcotss11.1.0tomcatconfserver.xml] org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The reference to entity "E" must end with the ';' delimiter. ++

I belive there is something wrong with the server.xml file, but not sure what this means

Any help is much appreciated.

That sounds like the XML itself is malformed in some way. Without the actual file I cannot tell why but you could try loading into an XML editor of some kind (or an XML aware text editor, like Notepad++) and it will probably tell you what's wrong.

Yes, I found out by opening the xml file in a XML editor. The issue was caused by the specaial character "&" in the password. I used an new certificate with no special characters and the issue was solved.

 

Thank you!
