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

I was recently installing the packages from one of the QA environment to my local Sitecore instance, "Media library package" to be precise, And it started giving me this below error One or more exceptions occurred while processing the subscribers to the 'item:creating' event Looking at the sitecore logs, it gave me more info on the context and the actual inner exception was following Solution: 'Name' should consist only of letters, digits, dashes or underscore Now it was evident that some of my file names were violating the naming rule, I could see in the log just before exception from where the installer stopped creating items, and that file name had round braces "(" and ")" at the end of it, with my surprise I was able to create the item with those name in the content tree, but below was the solution for it, Solution I am using SC 9.0.1 and in that Go to Sitecore.Marketing.config file residing in "App_Config\Sitecore\Mar...

How many of you have faced this hosting issue when you do everything what it takes to run the site with windows authentication but still you are getting the same error again and again? If you think you also have faced the same issue and you tired of reading MSDN KBs for it and still have not found the issue (If KB has solved the issue, well and good, if not you can try this trick),Please Read below Typical scenario In typical hosting with IIS, i did every possible things like enabling windows authentication, changing it in web.config, configuring connection pool, authorization rules, it asks me for window authentication login and despite of entering correct credentials it always fails and keeps on asking for login, and when pressed cancel it gives 401.1 with 0xc000006d error code Solution (Which worked for me at-least after trying for almost 6-9 hrs) You need to change the Loop Back Check in registry so that it allows the host names which you are giving in url are allowed and au...

Error in Sitecore 10.3 XM with CDs - Could not find configuration node: database/database[@id='master']

Hi Team, Recently we came across two distinct scenarios with same error message.  1) We started getting below error when we try to hit our layout service API endpoint. If we hit end point of CM, it was working fine and when we try to hit end point of CD it was giving this error, It was clear there is something in backend expecting master DB instead of WEB DB In first scenario my colleague  Jatin  also got same issue while setting up docker instance for 10.3, and my friend  Akshay Barve  and I had the same observation. 2) Second scenario I was having the same exception, It was another project on 10.3 XM with CD, It was one of the migration project so we were migrating from 10.2 to 10.3, Older site was not giving any error but new site the moment we hit, it was giving same exception in the log Issue in second scenario was in site grouping there was only site and both CM and CD URLs were given in host name and had WEB db as database, so basically there was no previ...
