There have been various enhancements in Geneos Web Server for version GA3.2.1 and above, which require additional configuration parameters in the command line. The HTTP 503 error could occur if user upgraded the Web Server version, but forgot to update the startup script. Users should also check the OS startup locations like /etc/init.d for old versions of the script. |

For Default Users If user did not have customization to the startup script prior the upgrade, they are suggested to use the copy that comes as default in the Web Server download. Users should follow the Running Start Scripts section in the Web Dashboard documentation. For those using the PS Templates Organisations with implementation using the ITRS Professional Service Best Practice templates, please obtain the latest version of "webserverctl" script from your technical contact in ITRS or raise a support request. For those using a Custom Script If user built a custom start script based on GA3.2.0 or an earlier version, they will need to manually adjust the script. Users are advised to check the "run" and "geneows" scripts in the Web Server installation package, and apply the changes to their custom script accordingly. Here we have prepared a list of changes in GA3.x and GA4.x as of this writing.
1. Add variable definitions in the script header as appropriate e.g. 2. Reference the variables in the start JVM command. Below command is taken from version GA4.9.2 as an example. (Please check the actual version of Web Server for the "geneosws" script.) e.g. "$JRE_BIN_PATH/java -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -Xmx1024M -server $HEADLESS $SECURITY_CONFIG $CONFIG $RESOURCES $JAVA_LIBRARY_PATH $LOG_PROPERTIES $PATH_FOR_LOG4J $JAVA_PROPS $SSO_PROPERTIES $BDO_FLAGS $JMX_FLAGS $DUMP_HEAP_ARGS $JAR_PATH $GWS_PORT $WEBAPPS $GWS_PORT $ENABLE_SSL &" 3. Verify security.xml is correct Ensure that security.xml contains a valid path to the users.properties file 4. Restart the Web Server process |

To enable Authentication Please refer to the section Enabling Authentication in the Web Dashboard documentation. The 2 configuration files security.xml and users.properties will need to be updated, and the Web Server process should be restarted. |
