Morpheus UI not loading after upgrade or reconfigureΒΆ

Problem:

The Morpheus ui does not load after performing an upgrade.

Common Causes:

  1. The morpheus-ui has not finished loading

  2. The morpheus-ui was not fully stopped before reconfigure, or not started after reconfigure

  3. Morpheus was forced to restart or shut down while the database schema was being migrated during an upgrade

Solutions:

  1. The morpheus-ui has not finished loading.

    An easy way to see when the ui is finished loading and running is to tail the ui current file and look for the morpheus logo with version and start time

    morpheus-ctl tail morpheus-ui

Note

After running morpheus-ctl start morpheus-ui, the Morpheus ui takes around 3 minutes to run depending on hardware.

  1. The morpheus-ui was not fully stopped before reconfigure, or not started after reconfigure

    The morpheus ui must be stopped prior to running morpheus-ctl reconfigure when upgrading. Sometimes running morpheus-ctl stop morpheus-ui will timeout and the ui is not actually stopped. If stopping the ui does timeout, run morpheus-ctl kill morpheus-ui prior to reconfigure, and be sure to run morpheus-ctl start morpheus-ui after reconfigure is completed.

    If you ran a reconfigure before stopping the ui, run:

    sudo morpheus-ctl kill morpheus-ui
sudo morpheus-ctl reconfigure
sudo morpheus-ctl start morpheus-ui

    Wait for the ui to come up.

  2. Morpheus was forced to restart or shut down while the database schema was being migrated during an upgrade

    If the ui fails to start and you see the error Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is liquibase.exception.LockException: Could not acquire change log lock.  Currently locked by morpheus it likely means morpheus was forced to restart or shut down while the database schema was being migrated during an upgrade, and the lock was not released.

    To release the lock, you will need to run a mysql query. You will need to install mysql-client on the morpheus appliance, and grab the password for morpheus mysql. The username and db name are both morpheus. The password to login to mysql can be found in the application.yml file located at /opt/morpheus/conf/application.yml

    Then run the following:

    mysql -u morpheus -p -h 127.0.0.1 morpheus

    At the prompt, enter the mysql password from the application.yml

    Then run:

    DELETE FROM DATABASECHANGELOGLOCK;

    Then restart morpheus-ui:

    sudo morpheus-ctl restart morpheus-ui

    If the restart timesout, run:

    sudo morpheus-ctl kill morpheus-ui
sudo morpheus-ctl start morpheus-ui
