問題

An upgrade to 2.4.x fails and renders the system unusable. Accessing the website shows the error below:

The following appears at the end of /var/log/chef.log:

診断

We've only seen this issue happening when upgrading to version 2.4.x:

HCPUB-18321 - Getting issue details... STATUS

原因

We have not be able to reproduce the issue so we still don't know what the root cause is. 

回避策

1. Log into the Hipchat Server terminal/command-line interface

2. Run the following commands to reset the database passwords, then restart all services:

   wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/hipchat-server-stable/utils/_mariadb_change_password.sh
   sudo dont-blame-hipchat
   chmod +x _mariadb_change_password.sh
   /bin/bash _mariadb_change_password.sh
   hipchat upgrade --restart
   exit

   The commands above downloads a script, gains root access to the system, sets the script to be executable, runs the script to reset the database password, resets the Hipchat Server services, then relinquishes root access.

In case problem persists, please contact Hipchat Server support for assistance.
