I'm trying to write a manifest for JPS deployment of an Jelastic application. Creating nodes and deploying webapps works fine but I can't create a database and load a sql dump into it using the manifest directives.

My configs section looks like this:

"configs": [ { "nodeType": "postgres9", "restart": false, "database": [{ "name": "somedbname", "user" : "someusername", "dump": "http://www.somehost.de/jelastic/somedump.sql" }] }, ... ] ...

It seems that the database section is completely ignored. Any ideas?

Likely you have an extra square brackets around database object definition, i.e. you must have "database" : { ... }, instead of "database" : [{...}]

Also I can suggest you to review an example from Cyclos. Their idea is to download an executable bash script which will be started by cron and do all the things required for setting the database up, including adding of a new user, extensions etc.

Best regards.

  • Thanks, we corrected this. We now have a working manifest with a "database" section for a tomcat7/mysql5 deployment but it still fails for tomcat7/postgres9 deployments. It seems that there's a bug in Jelastic because it reports a deployment error saying that it can't establish a mysql connection (though it should connect to postgres9). Maybe the Cyclos guys had the same problem so they avoided the "database" json configuration and used cron and a shell script instead. – Thomas Bergener Dec 20 '14 at 09:56
  • Yes, we sent a bug report. – Thomas Bergener Dec 26 '14 at 16:43
