Endpoint Protection

Hi There,

I got this error everytime I tried to login to the console since last month. Everytime it prompted "Unexpected Server Error", I'm unable to login to the console at all. All users are unable to download the latest definition and the green dot is not apprearing, replaced by yellow dot now.

Current version: 11.0.5002.333

Any advise would be much appreciated.

regards,

Jimbliss

can you post the scm-server-0.log?

any changes from your side?

hi Jim,

Any update on this ?

 

1. Open the IIS Administration:
   a. Click Start
   b. Select All Programs > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
2. Expand <server name>   (This will frequently be the local computer.)
3. Expand Web Sites
4. Right click on Symantec Web Server
5. Select Property
6. Go to Main Directory and change "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot" to "C:\program files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Inetpub\".

Any update on this?

 

Have you reinstall the java runtime engine in the SEPM server ? I got this issue before and the solution was to reinstall te JRE only.

Check this thread

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/unexpected-server-error-6

Here's the detailed steps:

- stop the SEPM service
- check if there was any javaw process running in Task Manager and kill the process
- browse to <%SEPM installation folder%>\tomcat\webapps\ROOT\clientpkg 
- Assisted to install JRE.
- Browse to %program files%\Java\jre6 
- copy the Bin and Lib Folders
- paste the folders in <%SEPM installation folder%>\jre location
- run the Management Server Configuration Wizard

Hi

Please do the following.

1. Go to SEPM\apache\conf

2. Make a backup of httpd.conf

3. Edit httpd.conf

4. Search for "FcgidImpersonation On" and replace it by "FcgidImpersonation Off"

5. Save changes

6. Restart both SEPM services ("Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager" and "Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager Webserver")

 

Regards

 

 

 

SameerU: Can you help me understand what that setting does?  It seems to have fixed my issue, but I just want to get an understanding of why.  Here's my setup:

Server OS: Windows Server 2012 Standard
Database: Remote database hosted on SQL Server 2012 SP1
Symantec Enpoint Protection 12.1.2

I'm migrating from the same setup except that the hosting server is 2008 R2 SP1 and when I checked the same setting there, it's set to on.  Addtionally, based on the comments in the file, it should be on when a remote SQL DB is used (which I am).  Thanks for your time.
