Server on Azure VM

KNIME Server
#1

Hi,

I have a Knime server running on an Azure VM. The Knime server is set up for auto-install. However, when I restart the VM upon applying any changes, I have to re-install the Apache service on the VM. Is this usual or do I need to configure somewhere to have the Apache service running even after VM restart?

Thanks

Hi there,

Assuming that you’re doing the installation on a plain VM from Azure. You will need to follow the steps here: https://docs.knime.com/2018-12/server_installation_guide/index.html#autostart_knime_server

If you’re using KNIME Server images from the Azure marketplace then the installation and autostart is configured out of the box.

Best,

Jon

Hi Jon,
Thank you for the instructions. I have already undertaken them following a previous ticket with you. So the server is running fine except from today when I did a manual reboot of the VM, I had to start the service again manually to have the server on. I do not see anything suspicious in the catalina log as well. Are you able to point me to something? The server is running on Apache Tomcat.
Thanks

Is that a custom Tomcat, or the TomEE (tomcat) from the installer?

If the systemd service is failing then I’d suggest doing:
systemctl status apache-tomcat
journalctl -u apache-tomee.service
