Please help - new install!

Hi

I installed a testing server and install worked amazingly good. Now that Im getting ready to install the "actual" server this is what I get (tired many times / reinstalled sql / not sure what else to do / getting into desperate mode!)


InstallError.JPG

That Wasn't Suppose To Happen An error occurred while configuring Rock. Message: ExecuteNonQuery: CommandText property has not been initialized

    Okay in the end it seems that something was filtering my server... no messages, no log nothing... I put my server as much out of my firewall as possible, and the great news is "

    RocksRMS is working great!!!

    Thank you all for your help, your support and your prayers!!!

    I did reinstall completely the server, just to get to exactly the same error. Is it possible the installer is not working? Any place where I can have a look at what the installer is doing and possibly doing it manually?

    Any hint will be much appreciated :)

    Thanks!

    8 days to reopening church in this era... we need Rock very soon running! Thanks a million!

    I investigated a little more, and this is the progress I get on the install:

    -= Configuring Rock =--
    Successfully created web.ConnectionString.config.
    Downloading SQL configuration script.
    SQL configuration script downloaded.
    Merging values into SQL config script.
    Values merged into SQL config script.
    Running SQL config script.
    Error configuring Rock:ExecuteNonQuery: CommandText property


    And the problem is that sql-config.sql is completely empty! Where does that file come from? Any hints of why it is empty?

    Adrian,

    Welcome to the Rock community.  Can you give us a bit more of your environment details?  Are you hosted in Azure or local? If Azure what is the DB Pricing Tier?  If local what is the specs of the VM the DB is sitting on? When I run into this it is usually from an SQL server that does not have the correct user rights or the DB processing power does not have the correct level of umph to get installed.  

    When I install on Azure I usually will do an S1 till the server is setup and then back down to an S0 till I import data.  

    Let us know and someone would be glad to help.  You are not alone so post away!

    Hi Michael

    Thank you so much! Sorry  I didn't provide any details. This is my own server, and I use proxmox for the virtualization platform on the free tier (yes the whole project, for now, runs on 0 budget)

    The virtual hardware is 2 Virtual processors, 8 Gb of RAM, and is a Windows 2019 server core. Here is a screenshot of the "proxmox" virtual machine details

    The interesting part is that the database gets created, but the sql-config.sql file is of size 0 - and that is what the system is trying to run.

    Thank you for any hint you can provide!

      Your server size is more than plenty. Can you see from proxmox dashboard how the VM is acting? i am not familiar with proxmox so I am not much help with the logs. A couple of things to try.



      1. look at the logs for proxmox to see if the server CPU or Disk usage is being limited as it spikes up pretty quick to do all the install processes.

      2. Did you use a known good install files or is this a new one. It has been a couple weeks since I have used the install files so that is a potential, but unlikely, culprit.

      3. Try the on a different machine like azure or aws to rule out its your environment.


      I will try and think of something else and if I get time I will try to do a fresh install later today to help rule that out.

    I'm installing a new server right and will give it a try. I wouldn't mind later to do a "how to" to install this great software in a Core environment, that makes everything so much easier to manage...

    We'll see what happens with new real hardware - will post again!

    And the error on top says:

    And here is a screenshot of my file system when the installer stalls. I find the sql-config.sql file odd, since the size is 0 bytes. Can that be a problem?

    Please anybody help? Can I continue the install manually? Thank you so much!!!
