PIA_INSTALL_FAIL during PeopleSoft Server Administration - webserver

I'm following the online installation example (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ElSGLkprkY) to install PeopleSoft with PeopleTools on Windows 7 with SQLServer 2008 R2.
My PS and PT installation version differs from the online videos since I'm using most recent available versions:
PeopleSoft HM 9.2
PeopleTools 8.55
Tuxedo 12.1.3.0.0 with VS2012
WebLogic 12.1.3.0.0 64bit
JDK 7u55 x64
SQL Server 2008 R2
I could install each element with no error, excepted one VIEW during HC database creation (PS_EP_APPRMOB_PNDG), but I could re-create the view manually by slightly modifying the SQL query.
Now I'm trying to configure the Web (PIA) Server and I encounter an error while creating the domain. The piainstall_HC.log file contains following:
Tue Sep 20 09:48:32 CEST 2016:Starting PIA installation...
PS_HOME: c:\PT8.55
Install Action : CREATE_NEW_DOMAIN
Creating Domain...
Deploying Web Applications...
Deploying WebLogic Extension files...
Deploying PeopleSoft Site files...
Deploying PeopleSoft Site Doc files...
Completed.
PS_CFG_HOME: C:\PS_CFG_HOME
PIA_INSTALL_FAIL
After intensive googling, I found that some other people got a similar issue which was caused by a wrong version of the JDK: the JRockit jvm was required.
Of course I tried to use JRockit JDK 64bit, but I still get the same error. I also tried several other oracle JDK versions, among others the JDK 7u55 x64, which is provided with PeopleTools installation elements.
Unfortunately, I definitively get the same error and cannot find any other logfile which could give more information on the root cause.
Did someone experienced the same issue and could fix it ?
Thanks for help

I finally could fix the issue.
It seems that my error was to install the wrong weblogic version: originally, I installed weblogic by using the "setup_fmw_12.1.3.0.0_ohs_win64.exe" installer which was provided with PeopleTools.
It appears that the other one (fmw_12.1.3.0.0_wls.jar) was expected. After installing this version (with "Coherence"), the domain could be created successfully.

Unable to add WAS 8.5 in RSA 9.1

I am unable to add Websphere (WAS) 8.5 in Rational Software Architect (RSA) 9.1 from New->Server in Rational Software Architect. It is asking for Installation Directory. I am not getting which path I have to give.
I tried in giving some random path, and error message gets popup 'The WebSphere Application Server installation directory is not correct.' Please help.
You may find this IBM KnowledgeCenter topic helpful. RSA is prompting you for the installation root of the app server. The default location for Linux is /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/, for Windows C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer.
I had install RSA 9.1 but not WAS 8.5. Because of this, this issue is persisting.
After installing WAS8.5, we can give path C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer in the installation directory and hence can create new server.

MongoDb initial startup says hot fix not installed but it is

I am trying to install MongoDB on Windows 7 Enterprise (32bit) VM running in VirtualBox on Windows7 Ultimate 64bit.
The MongoD.exe start up reports a missing Microsoft Hotfix, KB2731284. I downloaded and installed the hot fix on the VM. The hotfix was not required on the Host PC.
Mongod.exe still reported it was not installed. Ran the hotfix a second time and it reported that it was already installed.
I tried uninstalling an reinstalling mongoDB, no luck.
Stuck, any ideas?
MongoDB.com lists stackoverflow as the support portal.
per SO
I think you can run MongoDb without applying the Hotfix, but I would not recommend it. In long time you may run into problems. They have included some fixes in MongoDB to workaround the problem.
On Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 when applying the hotfix you get a better file allocation performance what is relevant for MongoDB
So when using mongo 2.6.0 there is workaround implemented.

Error - Eclipse client trying to reconnect to TFS - "LocationWebService"

When eclipse tries to reconnect to TFS (username.visualstudio.com) the 'authentication window' is replaced by a window that seems to describe available services and the authentication process stops here.
The content of this window is as follows:
LocationWebService
The following operations are supported. For a formal definition, please review the Service Description.
ConfigureAccessMapping
Connect
QueryServices
RemoveAccessMapping
RemoveServiceDefinitions
SaveServiceDefinitions
SetDefaultAccessMapping
With VS2010 I can still connect to TFS without problems.
Also, both with eclipse and VS2010 I can connect to codeplex (tfs).
Clearing cookies and/or cache from IE or Chrome doesn't help.
Everything is fresh installed, so I assume it's up to date.
How can I resolve this issue with Eclipse - TFS - username.visualstudio.com?
I had to reinstall the 2013 version (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40785) and everything started working. It's either a bug in an older version or mismatch with the server version being connected to.
I have this issue too. It only happens when I try to connect myuser.visualstudio.com, with my domain TFS it can authenticate without any problem.
I see that you are running Windows 7, in my case the eclipse TFS stop working with Windows 8.

Sql Server 2008 R2 Web setup throws application error when starting FixSqlRegistryKey_x86.exe

I have Windows 7 64bit. I had Sql Server 2008 R2 Express installed. I unistalled it and then I tried to install Sql Server 2008 R2 Web. Unfortunatelly on the Setup Support Rules page for 'Consistency validation for SQL Server registry keys' I got 'Failed'. I spent half of a day trying to solve it, but then I assumed that there must be realy something wrong with registry keys and it will be faster just to reinstall Windows.
After formatting the disk and reinstalling Windows 7, rebooting dozen of times I installed all Windows upadtes as well. I also did install some programs like Skype, Thundirbird etc. which has no influence on Sql Server setup.
And then I tried again to install Sql Server 2008 R2 Web. And again an error. A bit different one. Now when the setup is on the Setup Support Rules page I get an error message box with the title "FixSqlRegistryKey_x86 - Application Error" and content: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application. 'Consistency validation for SQL Server registry keys' gets 'Failed' status as well.
My team mate has exactly the same machine as mine. He had no problem with installation (he didnt even need to reinstall Windows).
I run the setup as administrator, from a local folder. I even tried to use the setup files copied from my team mate, for a case if my copy is corrupted. In the setup options I have chosen the 'x64' version.
Any ideas what can be the reason of the problem?
Problem solved.
Someone suggested to me that Web edition should not be installed on Win 7 (just on Windows Server). So perhaps installing a different version would work. My team mate perhaps succeeded acidentially - due to having sql server installed already in express edition... but it is just a guess.
Before I tried to install another edition of SqlServer, I downloaded 2008 Express version and I started the install. From the temporary folder created by the express edition I copied FixSqlRegistryKey_x86.exe file and I had overwritten the problematic file in the Web setup with this file.
I started the setup again. It passed the verification this time. But has crashed on a later point - setup unpacks the installation files to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\SQLServer2008R2 and runs from it. So I needed to again overwrite the problematic file in this location. Now the installation succeeded.

Crystal Reports error when deployed..Could not load file or assembly 'log4net

Please help. I have a web application that was built in VS2010 and we are using the CR plugin for 2010 and everything works perfect on our local machines. When we go to deploy the web application to Server 2008 the application runs fine until we try to get to a report. When we get to a report we receive...
Could not load file or assembly 'log4net, Version=1.2.10.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
We have installed the CR2010 runtimes and the file log4net.dll version 1.2.10.0 is in the GAC so we are not referencing it in the application. When we add it as a reference we get this error no matter where we are in the application, not just on the report pages. Please help!
I received the same error message after accidently installing the x86 version of the crystal reports redist on a x64 machine.
Installing the correct x64 redist fixed the problem - http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_redist_install_64bit_13_0.zip
We just ran into the same problem and it turned out to not (in our case) be the version of the Crystal Reports redist (we installed the 32 bit versions on our 64 bit machines. The way we were able to fix the problem was to
Navigate to your virtual directory Application Pool -> Advanced Settings -> Set Enable 32-Bit Applications to True
and changed the managed pipeline mode from Classic to Integrated. After that we no longer got errors of the missing log4net dll.
We also had the same issue with the 64-bit redistributable installed. In our case, we set the "Enable 32 Bit Applications" setting to FALSE in the advanced Application Pool properties and that resolved the issue.
If you have a x86 development machine and your web server is a 64-bit machine, you may be running into the problem discussed here:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vscrystalreports/thread/546059a6-7179-4027-8f16-822ac6dc189a/
Visual Studio is automatically deploying a 32-bit log4net.dll into the 64-bit web server, even if you don't have it referenced in your project. Just delete the log4net.dll from your bin directory once deployment has finished because it's not actually required by the CR runtime to work.
For me I had a VB Application project and under Compile options, I had "Any CPU" selected for Target CPU and I also had the "Prefer 32-bit" checked. When the compiled app ran on a 64 bit machine, which only had the x64 runtime installed it could crash with this error, because it tried running as a 32 bit app and wanted the 32 bit runtime. Unchecking this option and recompiling made it work correctly.
Install Crystal Reports for Visual studio Runtime engine for .NET Framework 64 bit
Solved my problems.
I have 2 NLB 2008 R2 Servers, my IISs are configured to run in x32.
In one server I have installed x64 and x32 SAP redist and I have the error, in second server only the x32 and works.
To get the first server work I uninstalled all versions and reinstalled only x32, but the server start work only after a reboot.
Bye
In my case I had the error while developing with Visual Studio 2022. I did what the other answers here say, installed Runtime 64-bit, because my machine is 64 bit, and then:
(in Visual Studio) Project Debug Properties > Web > Servers > Change Bitness to x64 (using IIS Express)
