Hello,

I am currently working on implementing and configuring Archivematica 1.17.1 on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS for a professional project. I am facing an issue when trying to start a new transfer. The "Start Transfer" button can be clicked, but no action happens, and the "Processing configuration" dropdown menu is completely empty, making it impossible to proceed.

I have already performed the following troubleshooting steps:

  • I granted full permissions to the archivematica user to access the transfer source folder (/home/archivematica/rdc-arq/entrada).

  • All key services have been restarted without errors and are confirmed to be active (running):

    • sudo systemctl status archivematica-mcp-server

    • sudo systemctl status archivematica-mcp-client

    • sudo systemctl status gearman-job-server

    • sudo systemctl status archivematica-dashboard

    • sudo systemctl status archivematica-storage-service

    • sudo systemctl restart php8.1-fpm

    • sudo systemctl restart nginx

My environment is Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, using PHP 8.1, Archivematica 1.17.1 and Storage Service 0.23.0.

Any assistance or guidance on what might be causing this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

As an administrator in the Archivematica Dashboard click the Administration tab at the top and then the Processing configuration option in the left sidebar.

Are you able to see the Processing configuration table with at least the default and automated processing configurations listed?

Hi, 

Yes, I have access to both the default and automated configurations. I can also edit and save them, but they still aren't being listed.

Hello,

I see. Still logged in as administrator in your browser, visit this URL in your Archivematica instance:

/api/processing-configurations

Also, share a list of your processing configuration directory in your Archivematica server:

It seems there's something wrong with the API endpoint Archivematica is using to retrieve the processing configurations.

That API endpoint is protected by some authorization checks and I think you're hitting this in particular:


Have you customized the ALLOWED_HOSTS Django setting of the archivematica-dashboard service?
