An unknown error with status code 504 during app installs

UCS - Univention Corporate Server
#1

We are experiencing issues with trying to install application via the App Center. It worked before but as of the last update has stopped.

On the UMC we get the following error:

An unknown error with status code 504 occurred while connecting to the server, please try again later.

We never get the application to actually install.

Any suggestions?

FYI:

the logs only show:
15.09.15 14:11:05.675 MODULE ( PROCESS ) : Finished dry_run for bareos on localhost
15.09.15 14:11:13.564 MODULE ( PROCESS ) : Finished dry_run for bareos on bebucsbdc1v

Hi,

In general, Unknown Error codes are those not sent by UMC itself (otherwise they would be known…). In this case, this should be a “real” 504 HTTP error code sent by Apache. 504 means Gateway Time-out. Apache sits between the client (browser) and the server (UMC) and could not respond to your request in time because UMC did not send anything.

Can you verify this by looking into /var/log/apache2/error.log?

It may be that you internet connection is slow or any of the involved systems (localhost, bebucsbdc1v, bebucsbdc2) times out when trying to connect to the App Center server (which is what they do in dry_run). Can you reach appcenter.software-univention.de from all of these hosts?

You can get more log output by setting

ucr set umc/module/debug/level='4'

To give your systems more time, this may help:

ucr set umc/http/session/timeout='1200'

This should set the timeout to 20 minutes. Maybe this is enough? It does not really solve the overall problem, though. Did you have to wait 10 minutes until the error described above popped up?

I can resolve appcenter.software-univention.de on all hosts.

I’ve set ucr set umc/module/debug/level=‘4’

and set ucr set umc/http/session/timeout=‘1200’

Did you have to wait 10 minutes until the error described above popped up?

It pops up after a few seconds, not minutes.

As soon as I have log details I will post here.

Now after making those changes…I now get this error when upgrading or installing apps via App Center:

An error occurred while connecting to the server, please try again later.

In the logs I have only: (this example I was attempting to upgrade KIX4OTRS, but also happens now on installs too.)

Problems come up about 5 minutes into the update/install of the app. Also happens on ALL nodes of the UCS Domain.

Problem Solved…Had to uncheck Unmaintained Packages in App Center. Then everything works again.

#8

How did you do that? Please tell.
