Shibboleth 3.3.1 install on brand new Windows Server

[Rod Widdowson]

That’s extremely weird since there should be absolutely not difference between the 3.3.1 and 3.3.0 in this area.  I was pretty sure
that they ship the same jetty – and this looks like a jetty issue (although why the upgrade works is also a mystery).

 

I’ll try to repro (I must have a SRV2012 kicking around somewhere).

 

Meanwhile I’d concur that a 3.3.0 install and a 3.3.1 upgrade is the best way to go.  But make sure that you do a full reboot and
test that the upgrade “took” (bin\status) before you declare victory.  Services have a habit of hanging around if you are not
careful.

Has anyone tried installing Shibboleth 3.3.1 on a brand new Windows Server(2012R2)?  Our upgrade from 3.3.0 to 3.3.1 in our
non-production environment seems to work, but when I attempt to install on a brand new server, the Windows Service never starts
after install, or after a reboot, and also fails to start manually.  I’ve tried the 3.3.1 installation a few times, and installing
3.3.0 doesn’t seem to have this issue, but I’m not sure if I’m missing something or doing something differently and not realizing
it.  Since the upgrade seems to work, I suppose we can upgrade in production, but not having it work on a new server makes me
cautious to finish deploying to production if there’s more going on I haven’t seen/found yet.

 

The only error log I’ve been able to find is in ProcRun\log and says(the properties file that’s referenced changes with every start
attempt):
