Running through the single-machine installation for 8.5 and have come across a lot of problems that I think are due to missing capabilities registered with my Discovery service.

Can I check that as part of the instructions you're installing the following services:

  • Deployer
  • Discovery
  • Session-Enabled
  • Preview

So in the cd_storage_conf of my Discovery service I need to Deployer, Session-Enabled and Preview capabilities within the and registered using discovery-registration.jar.

Is that right? Should the quickinstall have done all that for me?

If you are using the quickinstall.ps1 powershell script for CD installation, then use the -auto-register switch as mentioned by Nuno.

In case you have done the installation without this switch, then compare the cd_storage_config.xml for Discovery service from the Installation media (\Content Delivery\roles\discovery\standalone\config) with the one available in the installed discovery service (defaulted to C:\SDL\Web\discovery\config) and add the missing Rolesin it - In my scenario it was missing the WebCapability role only while the TokenServiceCapability was available in the config file.

Once you have updated the config file, copy the discovery-registration.jar file from the Install Package -\Content Delivery\roles\discovery\registration to the corresponding location at the installed instance of Discovery Service. Execute the following command to register these capabilities: java -jar discovery-registration.jar update

  • The web capability missing is the harder to fix - basically you need to add it to storage Conf yourself. To fix the -auto-register switch missing just run quick-install again, but add the switch. The script will reinstall the services with the new parameters

  • I may be missing something, but I just compare the cd_Storage_config from the installer package with the one in the discovery service install - and just copy pasted the Web Capability roles as it is from their follower by discovery service registration

  • Am I right in thinking that its not the case that the Discovery service should have all capabilities listed in its storage file - each role should auto-register with the Discovery database as its installed. I think I was expecting the Discovery services storage file to have all the capabilities defined within it.

  • Why is it during installation of these services I always see "WARNING: TCP connect to localhost:xxx failed" ???

  • If a service auto-registers, it will not show in the Conf, only if you query the service. The warnings are because the scripts are waiting for the service to respond, but while installing it takes a few seconds (maybe up to 40-50 seconds) until the services are up & running.
