Sitecore XP 10.3 - Some installation errors which i encountered for the first time

Hi Team,

This one will be very quick blog post around some of the issues i encountered during Sitecore 10.3 installation, Specially around SOLR

I have not got these issues in previous version and these were something new i encountered so drafting a quick post around it if it helps some of you save some time.

Also surprisingly, did not get this in error in later versions too like 10.4

Below are the errors which i encountered

1) Certificate Chain Was Issued by an Authority That is Not Trusted

I never had this issue before, As generating certificate is backed in the script, but i still got this, so did little research around it and i found some Stack Exchange discussion, but i followed the same steps and it got resolved for me too, Though they are for older versions

Basically, I had to modify xconnect-xp0.json file, Search "InvokeSqlcmd" in it add "TrustServerCertificate": true to its "Params" property. You will find multiple matches for "InvokeSqlCmd", Do the same change for all of it.

2) Unable to connect to a remote server

Another one, which i was getting was unable to connect to a remote server, Well my internet was working fine, everything was ok, But was again not sure why it is not able to connect to SOLR to download the SOLR package for installation

What worked for me was

I turned off firewall security just for this installation and it worked, there could be better ways, but this worked for me and i was able to install it successfully

You can tryother alternatives given here

Thank you

Zero to Hero - A real life RCA of exact issue in Sitecore Managed Cloud environment

Hello All, The purpose of today's post is to share a real life burning and escalated scenario which was new to me and how did I approach it and how big the escalations were and what was the outcome Sitecore's goodwill was at stack not because Sitecore is not capable of handling it but just because our environment was Sitecore Managed Cloud, and any issue that comes if its infra, back end code, front end code will be first pointed as Sitecore issue and that is where our consultancy and experience will play a role to prove that it is not Sitecore issue. Issue we faced Out of the blue our site started giving "504 Gateway Time-out", and it was reported that almost everyone is getting this error, but when we used to browse the site, everything looked good and never 504. 504 Gateway Time-out error tells that, That the request went to Content Delivery servers of Sitecore from gateway, but gateway did not get response in time from those CDs and hence it gave time out error. ...

Set up leprechaun code generation with Sitecore XM Cloud Starterkit

Hi Sitecorians, It has been amazing learning year so far and with the change in technology and shift of the focus on frontend frameworks and composable products, it has been market demand to keep learning and exploring new things. Reasons behind this blog Today's topic is something that was in my draft from April-May, and I always thought that there is already a good documentation out there for Leprechaun and a blog post is not needed, Until I realized that there was so many of us facing same kind of issues and same kind of problems and spending same amount of time, That is where I thought, if I could write something which can reduce that repetitive troubleshooting time, That would really help the community. 1) In a project environment, if we get into some configuration issues, we resolve them, we make sure we are not blocked and continue, but if you think same issue, same step and same scenario will come to other people, so if we can draft it online, it will help othe...

An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details.

You have noticed many times that everything was working fine and suddenly the below error starts coming and you find no way to work it out An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details. The reason for this is the receiving size of WCF service is smaller then the data which is coming from service It was working before because it was small,So you will have to try to increase the receiving setting in your end point,Possible settings can be following maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647" That would definately help you!!!
