What is the problem? Please be detailed.
ODK Aggregate has been installed, but is redirecting too many times when attempting to load the directory. The specific error is, "This page isn't redirecting properly." For example: Link 1 via List of Links, attached.
What ODK tool and version are you using? And on what device and operating system version?
We are using ODK Aggregate. The WAR was created using the following settings and the ODK Aggregate v1.4.15 Windows Installer:
SSL:Yes
Port: 443
Externally facing URL: Link 2 (this is the load balancer URL, but the SSL cert is on a URL that the load balancer redirects to).
The installed stack is: Windows Virtual Sever (Server 2016 Standard 10.0.14393 Build 14393) > Apache Tomcat v8.0 > Postgres v9.3
What steps can we take to reproduce the problem?
Navigate to: Link 15
What you have you tried to fix the problem?
I have tried the following:
-
Reinstall Tomcat, ODK Aggregate WAR creation, three tries:
**WAR One**: ODKAggregate.war ○ IP address: Link 2 ○ Port: 443 ○ Ending URL in config ○ Result: Link 3 **WAR Two**: Root.war ○ SSL = Yes ○ IP address: Link 14 ○ Port: 443 ○ Result: Link 4 **WAR Three**: ODK-SSL.war ○ SSL = Yes ○ IP address: Link 5 ○ Port: 443 ○ Result: Link 6
-
Switch from mySQL to Postgres in case there are issues with Connector/J as in here Link 7
-
Remove SSL support from ODK (though this is a requirement for the data we would like to collect, and it's a security requirement)
-
Try to point directly at load balancer, as in here: Link 8
-
Manually edit the security.properties - but I don't want to turn off SSL (as in here: Link 9)
-
Double checked to be sure I followed the Tomcat install procedure, here Link 10
-
Checked Tomcat logs, as in here: Link 11
-
Checked to be sure the database is working fine, as in here: Link 12 The tables exist and the user works fine, and the logs support this.
-
Also reviewed all other instances of redirection issues that I could find here, including: Link 13
Anything else we should know or have? If you have a test form or screenshots or logs, attach here.
I hope this will serve as a nice repository/summary of these issues, so that others in my place can come across a single summary of the options for fixing this issue. Logs attached.
