After skipping the jpackage mirrors by setting "enabled=0" in /etc/yum.repo.d/jpackage.repo, the install finishes. However, there are many java exceptions in catalina.out and the website home page is just blank white page. Log file attached.

This is related to the jpackage.repo being down, several RPMs needed by CPBM are not installed and cause various issues.
The engineering team are looking for workaround for this repo availability issue. Stay tuned.

Jpackage repo is back online, the installation should work fine now.

I got the
sed: can't read /usr/share/cloud/portal/conf/cloud.properties: No such file or directory
And when I looked more closely it showed that it couldnt find epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm but it couldnt find it thru FTP so I FTPd do df.lth.se (which was my closest mirror) and saw that the file wasnt there and it was changed with epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm, so I installed it manually with this command

rpm âivh http://ftp.df.lth.se/pub/fedora-epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

And then reruned the install.sh, it still complained about the file but it installed the other files anyway.

Hi Francesco,

The problem is fixed in CPBM 1.4.5 version which should be downloadable from Citrix Download site - in couple of days.

the correct 6.8 version:
http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

To workaround the issue:- One of the following can be attempted:

1) Install the above package manually and retry the install.sh (it will still complain about 6.7)
2) Edit the install.sh and replace all occurrences of 6-7 with 6-8 and re-run the install.sh

Thanks and Regards,

I got it, but I have problems accessing the webpage now.

http status 404
Type Status report
message
description The requested resource () is not available

Read somewhere that it could be the mysql password, but I dont know where to change it, is it in cloud.properties?

Francesco,

/etc/cloud/portal/cloud.properties is the configuration file.

However i would not recommend you to edit it manually.

Please follow the steps mentioned in the same order:

http://support.citrix.com/proddocs/topic/cloudportalbusiness-14/ccpb-install.html

1) Download CloudPortal Business Manager
2) System Preparation
3) Installing MySQL Database
4) Installing and Configuring CloudPortal Business Manager
5 Integration with CloudStack or CloudPlatform
6) Starting CloudPortal Business Manager
7) Verifying CloudPortal Business Manager Installation
8) Setting up Proxy Server

We did that, but we were two persons installing. So my question is, how can I remove everything and start from scratch? I couldnt install MYSQL again since it had its database already installed

Please do the following on the mysql server to remove database:

mysql -u root -p
(Enter the password)

drop table cloud_portal;
drop table cloud_portalmq;
drop table cloud_reports;

exit

and now the cloud portal system:
Resume the setting up Database step D) option of ./install.sh

I reinstalled the whole machine since I didnt have the mysql password. Now everything works, but I dont have CloudStack which seems to be a vital part of this.

Im trying to find info about what Cloudstack does but keep getting to the Cloudplatform pages, so is CloudStack the part that connects CloudPlatform with CloudPortal and other cloud services?

I want to use CloudPortal Business Manager ONLY for CloudPortal Services Manager, do I need CloudStack and for CloudStack, do I need CloudPlatform?

So only interesting in the billing part together with CPSM as of now.

Hi,

CloudStack is open source cloud computing software for creating, managing, and deploying infrastructure cloud services. And CloudPlatform is Citrix's version of CloudStack (powered by Apache).

Currently CPBM has tight integration with CloudStack/CloudPlatform in order to sell IAAS.

CPBM's billing engine is an integral part of CPBM which cannot be used with CPSM directly.

It will be great to learn the use case to help you further.

Ok, we have a XenApp environment where all our users connect to our infrastructure. We have installed CPSM to get the provisioning up and running and ease the work for the helpdesk and also give the benefit of customers and resellers to create their own accounts and assign users to applications.

But, with this, comes also that if the customer can assign a licensed product like MS Access we need to know this and be able to bill the customers for this. Also, if a new user is created or deleted the billing need to be adjusted.

Therefor "they" told be that toghether with CPBM you can integrate CPSM with CPBM and use that for the billing. So my intentions are to move all customers billing into CPBM so that when a customer creates a user the billing is updated and then sent to the customer, meaning I do not want to do the billing manually anymore, thats the whole point.

So,

1. Is this possible with CPSM and CPBM?
2. Can I do this without integrating CloudPlatform since I dont need it right now and its a hassle to configure (We do have an IaaS (on Cloudplatform) service PoC setup already but on another site not intended to interfere with our XenApp/XenDesktop environment)
3. What are my options?

I have setup CPBM (without CloudStack) but the integration with CPSM is whats missing.

Best Regards

Hi Francesco,

Currently CPBM and CPSM integration is not implemented and we will likely to have this in future. CloudPlatform/CloudStack is required for CPBM as well.

I've requested appropriate person to get in touch with you to discuss further.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Madan
