nuxeo service does not start after upgrade

Question

Hello I have tried to upgrade on my ubuntu machine nuxeo package from 5.9.4 to 5.9.5, however upgrade failed, because nuxeo service cannot be started.

I try to start the service with nuxeoctl --debug startbg

and this i get (part from where the problem starts)

21:45:44,681 DEBUG [org.nuxeo.launcher.config.ConfigurationGenerator.checkDatabaseConnection(ConfigurationGenerator.java:1649)] Testing URL jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5433/nuxeo with {user=nuxeo, password=hohsheiC} 21:45:44,711 DEBUG [org.nuxeo.launcher.config.ConfigurationGenerator.verifyInstallation(ConfigurationGenerator.java:1263)] org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "nuxeo" org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "nuxeo"

I havent change as far as I know login credentials for "nuxeo" user on my system.

Any idea?

Answer 1

There is a known issue in Nuxeo Platform 5.9.5 (Fast Track) related to datasource credentials. Please downgrade to 5.9.4 until 5.9.6 is released, or follow NXP-14781 to see if a fix is released before the official 5.9.6.

Answer 2

Did you try to manually log in the database using those credentials?

You issue may be caused by a PostgreSQL upgrade which:

• installed another cluster, thus Nuxeo tries to connect on the wrong one,
• a lost configuration (see http://answers.nuxeo.com/questions/7719/why-do-i-get-invalid-username-or-password-after-upgrading-postgresql who had an issue with the pg_hba.conf file not being repopulated: not containing an entry for 127.0.0.1 for nuxeo)
