Application Catalog - "Cannot Connect to the Application Server" Error

[BzowK]

Good Afternoon All -

 

In the past couple of days, I've been installing and configuring SCCM 2012 for our production network. Today, I ran into a little issue that I'm having trouble resolving.

 

I installed the Application Catalog web service point as well as the Application Catalog website point roles onto my primary site server. It holds all other roles I use except for the separate SQl server which has a couple for DB & reporting.

 

Upon adding them, I had a couple of errors in my Monitoring saying things like awebsvr.msi couldn't be installed. Removing the roles and re-adding them seemed to resolve this issue.

 

In the configuration, I kept the "Default Web Site" blank, but filled out the rest using port 80 / HTTP.

When a computer goes to the Application Catalog now in IE, the message "Cannot Connect to the application server" is displayed followed by a message saying that the website cannot communicate with the server. Even though the Client Settings say to add the site as Trusted, I had to manually add it - but still got the error.

 

What's wrong? Here's what I've tried

- Reinstalling roles again

- Setting app catalog to use 443 / HTTPS (gave error that SSL wasn't properly configured in IIS so swaped it back as don't want to use HTTPS anyways

- Site Status & Component Status are green across the board

- I restarted the Default Web Site in IIS and the SMS Component service

 

Attached is the portlwebmsi.log

 

Any ideas? Thanks!

try re-installing it on http instead, and post the log here.

Hey Niall -

 

Sorry it took me a while to repost. STill having the issue, though. Here's what I've done to try to resolve and current status...

 

1. Uninstalled App Roles

2. Installed on SQL Server (after prereq including WCF) - nogo with same error uninstalled and focused back on sccm server

3. Uninstalled WCF on sccm server then rebooted

4. Installed WCF, then installed app roles.

 

Still get error.

 

Note: The only other error I had in SCCM was that I couldn't add an OS image or Installer as it said they were invalid or security was incorrect (UNC path) I had my sccmadmin account and computer account with full rights to folder. I finally got it to work after adding Everyone with full rights to folder - odd - Sccmadmin is a domain admin and ent admin, too

 

Before doing the above, I renamed the port*.log files. The issue I seemed to have was that the post web installer wasn't installing. Now, it seems to have done so, though. Attached are the log files from after doing today's stuff.

 

Thanks!
