Hosting on RDS

[dan]

Ah, makes sense. We don't have specific VMware instructions; I'd imagine it'd work with a zipfile. But it sounds like you figured it out.

I am back to Docker but still having issues my FA docker install no longer working. Here is the database ENV I am using. Does this normal?

  DATABASE_URL: jdbc:mysql://database-2.cwymdn16cxes.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com/fusionauthdb

Looks good to me. Probably a good idea to make sure you can connect to that database with the username and password you set in the environment from your container. RDS instances are behind a security group, so you need to make sure your requests can get through that.

I do see you shared more of the error message on another thread. Maybe you need to add the port number (:3306, just before /fusionauthdb) ?

I'm not going to mention this more than once, but wanted to let you know that you can get a FusionAuth Cloud server provisioned and maintained for as little as $75/month (pricing correct as I write this). Not sure how much time you are spending getting your remote server up and running, but it may be worth considering .

I agree this is getting way too painful.

I changed back to using my local mysql. For some reason silent config mod is still showing its "ugly" face.

Could be because I no longer have my fa table. I am not sure what happened to it? Clearly this problem is way above my "pay grade".

I relaunched my Ec2 instance and now I am able to at least use URL:9011 and the UI opens up.

But I still get the error above when I "docker up".

Are you talking about the Illegal reflective access error message?

[richb201]

yes, for one thing.

[dan]

You can safely ignore that. It's a java warning based on some of the libraries on which we depend, I believe. If you can provide the version of java you are using and the OS version, I can file a bug.

[richb201]

Dan, I moving this discussion up to github since it seems to be an issue possibly with fusionauth/fusionauth-app:1.19.7 or perhaps the config of RDS.

One more thing. I do not have a mysql image in my docker container. This was taken out because of the use of RDS, but I am not sure FA can tolerate this?

[richb201]

I believe that this issue was solved. Seems that I was getting confused between the DATABASE_USERNAME and the DATABASE_ROOT_USERNAME. This was causing the error count to exceed the default. I think all is AOK. Thanks.

Thanks awesome @richb201 !

I'm glad you were able to sort it out!
