I'm trying to setup a web8 environment as per following doc and encountered following error while creating website through Add-TtmWebsite powershell cmdlet:

PS C:\Users\Administrator> Add-TtmWebsite -Id StagingWebsite -CdEnvironmentId CDServerFarm01 -BaseUrls "http://10.100.101.153:85/" 
Add-TtmWebsite : Unable to save item of type 'WebApplicationData' with id 'StagingWebsite_RootWebApp'.
One or more errors occurred.
An error occurred while communicating with CD Discovery Service 'http://localhost:8082/discovery.svc' in CD Environment
 'CDServerFarm01'.
An error occurred while processing this request.
Path 'http://localhost:8082/discovery.svc/WebApplications' is not allowed
At line:1 char:1

   taServiceException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Tridion.TopologyManager.Automation.AddWebsiteCommand

Not sure why its complaining "http://localhost:8082/discovery.svc/WebApplications" is not allowed? At the moment i see my discovery service is up and accessible. What could be the reason for this issue and how to mitigate it. Appreciate your inputs!

  • @Rafeeq, I converted your follow-up to a comment along with Hiren's note. Indeed this is better as a new question.

The most likely reason is that you have specified the wrong credentials when creating the CD environment. It needs to be a user in the "cm" role.

Check the credentials by calling Get-TtmCdEnvironment and verify that you are using the "cmuser" client ID.

To correct the credentials, you can call Set-TtmCdEnvironment:

Set-TtmCdEnvironment -Id YourEnvironmentId -AuthenticationType OAuth -ClientId cmuser -ClientSecret YourSecretHere

  • Actually, the Add-TtmCdEnvironment command failed, so the CdEnvironment entity is not created and hence you can't use Set-TtmCdEnvironment yet, but you can just retry the Add-TtmCdEnvironment command with the additional parameters.

  • Oh, wait... It's the Add-TtmWebsite command that failed. In that case, I don't think the problem lies in the credentials (otherwise the Add-TtmCdEnvironment command would have failed already).

  • Thanks Peter, Rick for your inputs! Setting CdEnvironment with cmuser resolved the issue!!

  • @RickPannekoek I've seen it happen, when the credentials are valid but for a different user (registration or cduser). They can access the discovery service, but not the WebApplication path and such. Anyway, glad to hear it's fixed :)

The problem here is probably that the WebCapability is not defined in you CD Environment's Discovery Service.

You probably didn't define any Capability yet; you first have to run the registration JAR in order to populate the Discovery Service's Capabilities from the cd_storage_conf.xml.

Fixed as below:

  • I ran command java -jar discovery-registration.jar read
  • I had only token service capabilities enabled,
  • I copied and updated All the roles from the installation configuration..
  • Run java -jar discovery-registration.jar Update

Then ran the command Add-TtmWebsite -Id visitorsweb -CdEnvironmentId SampleCD -BaseUrls http://localhost:82

Successfully created ..
