Nexus server, automatically restarting after setup

[Balaji Iyer]

I am hitting an issue where the Nexus server is restarting on its own after initial setup.

 

Setup:

1.      This is my userdata bootstrap shell script for the setup – really straightforward. Download, unzip, setup and start service – straight from your great documentation.

 

                      "cd /srv\n",

                      "wget -O /srv/nexus-${NEXUS_VERSION}-unix.tar.gz --no-check-certificate https://sonatype-download.global.ssl.fastly.net/nexus/3/nexus-${NEXUS_VERSION}-unix.tar.gz\n",

                      "tar xzf /srv/nexus-${NEXUS_VERSION}-unix.tar.gz -C /srv\n",

                      "ln -s /srv/nexus-${NEXUS_VERSION} /srv/nexus\n",

                      "useradd -m nexus\n",

                      "touch /srv/nexus/bin/nexus.rc\n",

                      "echo \"run_as_user='nexus'\" > /srv/nexus/bin/nexus.rc\n",

                      "chown -R nexus:nexus /srv/nexus-${NEXUS_VERSION}\n",

                      "ln -s /srv/nexus/bin/nexus /etc/rc.d/init.d/nexus\n",

                      "chkconfig --add /etc/rc.d/init.d/nexus\n",

                      "service nexus start\n",

2.      I have an AWS Elastic Load balancer (ELB) (classic not the application load balancer)  setup and couple of EC2 instances behind it in an autoscaling group

 

Issue:

Upon connecting to the ELB link, I get the Nexus start screen, in a few seconds I get an error message

 

“Application will be reloaded as server has been restarted”

with an OK button

This goes on an endless loop.

 

Related issues:

I searched online and found an issue that seems to be related,  https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS-9879. I didn’t get an exception as it’s in the issue but got the same error message.

 

Is this the same issue, any workarounds?

Please open a new issue at https://issues.sonatpye.org, we can't diagnose anything based on this limited information.   The best way to get us the information we need is to generate a support zip file under the Nexus support tools UI, and attach it to the issue.

Regards,

Rich
