5083 ERROR_ENVIRONMENT_ERROR (application path is not specified)

[mwarn...@gmail.com]

Forgive me, I am a complete noob when it comes to serving web apps with Java. After some research into using Tomcat, I first stopped the service and placed the pwm .war file into /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps and then started Tomcat back up. I then visited ser.ver.ip.adr:8080/pwm and found this '5083' error and could not find any information on Github or the Google Group about it. I clicked on the "Environment Configuration Reference" link and it displayed a page with this message:

error reference 6FD2FF87CF2FFCBEB7B5A9BFB17393011FF76A0A

Where did I go wrong? Should I use a reverse proxy such as nginx if I'm going to use pwm outside of localhost?

Update: I installed nginx and edited my hosts file to visit the specified server_name but it didn't change anything. It works, but I still get the same error 5083.

Got it! I ended up finding the Environment reference which told me that I should update my configuration in WEB-INF/web.xml. I got past the 5083 error, but I still have a problem. It only happens through the nginx proxy, but here it is:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

A security violation has occurred. Please try again later. { 5063 ERROR_SECURITY_VIOLATION (current network address '127.0.0.1' has changed from original network address '0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1') }

--------------------------------------------------------------------

What should I add to my nginx configuration file to fix this?

Figured this one out too. I needed to add:

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

in my /pwm location block. Hopefully everything runs smoothly from here on out!

Like what? You didn't really explain how you fixed it. I'm stuck on this same error and cannot get past it.
