fusioAuth install is damaged?

richb201

Thanks Dan. The article was very helpful. Where can I find the configuration file that it discusses? I am using the docker version of FA.

maciej.wisniowski

@richb201 with docker you can use environment variables to configure FA: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/reference/configuration/

For example (from docker-compose config):
FUSIONAUTH_APP_RUNTIME-MODE: development
FUSIONAUTH_APP_SILENT-MODE: "true"

richb201

@maciej-wisniowski
I included the two lines that you suggested. I changed this:

FUSIONAUTH_APP_SILENT-MODE: "false"

But it seems to still want to go into silent mode. I am going to copy the fa part of my docker-compose below the error so you can tell me anything else you see that could be the issue.

thx

Ah.. seems I've made a typo, please try with all underscores in FUSIONAUTH_APP_SILENT_MODE (instead of FUSIONAUTH_APP_SILENT-MODE).

richb201

@maciej-wisniowski Thanks. That seems to work now! At least the error in my docker log went away. Now to test....

I found that I am getting a message from the mysql (this is RDS) that I have reached my limit on errors. Something had changed in my docker-compose.yml. The only way to get to reset the error count was to reboot the mysql server and use my "back in time". I restored numerous days in the past (back to Feb 19th) and now things appear stable again. Seems to be a bug in the fa image? I am using 1.19.7. I will post the current errors up to the github site and see if anyone knows anything. Here they are just for giggles:

@richb201 said in fusioAuth install is damaged?:

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

You need to specify the port on the JDBC string. Try this jdbc:mysql://database-2.cwymdn16cxes.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com:3306/fusionauthdb.

richb201

Thanks Dan. Interestingly, now when i type localhost:9011, I am getting the attached browser window at http://localhost:9011/maintenance-mode-database-configuration. BTW, I have no idea why it is now almost working. Screenshot from 2021-02-24 06-03-08.png

I am assuming that maint mode is running because fa can;'t connect to my rds mysql.

Into tyhe main mode input screen, now I see a field for port and one for database.

I tried pasting what you gave me,
jdbc:mysql://database-2.cwymdn16cxes.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com:3306/fusionauthdb

but now I get

Screenshot from 2021-02-24 06-08-16.png

Then I tried
URL: jdbc:mysql:database-2.cwymdn16cxes.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com
Port:3306
databse: fusionauthdb
TLS enabled : no

I still get the error 500.

richb201

@robotdan and Dan I did add the port and the errors in the docker log seems to have gone away. But this causes the following error in the browser. To get around this I need to reboot the rds

A PHP Error was encountered

P.S. I went back to the original connection string and it seems to 1) not get the "is blocked" error above 2) gets the error below in the docker log (this is just a small sampling of it) 3) allows me to connect to http://localhost:9011/maintenance-mode-database-configuration, OK, although I can't figure out what to enter in the maint mode Database Type section.

jdbc:mysql://database-2.cwymdn16cxes.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com:3306/fusionauthdb

You don't want to paste in the full JDBC string into the UI, it has separate fields for host, database and port.

This string jdbc:mysql://database-2.cwymdn16cxes.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com:3306/fusionauthdb could be used in a Docker configuration or directly in the fusionauth.properties file. This JDBC string is constructed as schema:database _type://host:port/database.

If you are using Maintenance Mode, then you will need to use the appropriate parts of this string to fill in the fields.

If you are entering maintenance mode it is because FusionAuth cannot connect to the database as configured, the console messages will describe why it cannot connect, and once you configure the field values in the UI it will tell you if it cannot connect.

I hate to be a pain. Here are the fields from the maint mode.

and here is the resulting screen:

did I follow your description of the fields correctly?

Seems you have a typo in the environment variable name. Instead of DATABASE_ROOT_USER it should be DATABASE_ROOT_USERNAME. Maybe this will resolve the problem.

I have a docker-compose that uses local image of postgresql. For the reference I'm pasting my config below (there are some minor differences in the real version but these should not be relevant):

@maciej-wisniowski Thanks. I took care of that but I still get this error over and over again in the docker log.

Have you tried with original docker image instead of building FA by yourself? Seems (from the first post) that you have some customized dockerfile/image for fusionauth so maybe there is an issue

fusionauth:
  container_name: fusionauth-app
  build : 
    context: ./fusionAuth
    dockerfile: Dockerfile

richb201

@maciej-wisniowski Thanks. I'll ask the guy who rebuilt it why he did that?

One more question. I have a copy of FA running on Ec2 that is able to talk to the RDS mysql fine. How can I see, from the UI, what the connection string being used is?

robotdan

@richb201 said in fusioAuth install is damaged?:

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

You are still missing the port in this string (as I mentioned above).

DATABASE_URL: jdbc:mysql://database-2.cwymdn16cxes.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com:3306/fusionauthdb.

You cannot view the connection string from the UI at runtime.

richb201

@robotdan Dan, putting that port in causes the RDS server to time out. It is repeatable. Is there some other way to see what the connection string is set to on the EC2? Perhaps there is a config file? I do have filezilla attached to that server.

maciej.wisniowski

@richb201 have you tried to connect to this RDS database using any other MySQL client from the same machine? Maybe there is some firewall or permissions issue with RDS

richb201

@maciej-wisniowski When I try this string I get:

ERROR 2005 (HY000): Unknown MySQL server host 'database-2.cwymdn16cxes.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com/fusionauthdb' (2)

mysql -h database-2.cwymdn16cxes.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com/fusionauthdb -P 3306 -u admin -p

That is why seeing what a working connection string from the EC2 is would solve the problem.

robotdan

ERROR 2005 (HY000): Unknown MySQL server host 'database-2.cwymdn16cxes.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com/fusionauthdb'

That is an invalid host name so that error makes sense. The host is database-2.cwymdn16cxes.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com and the database is fusionauthdb.
