Can't install apps: "Failed to install the app"

Post by AlphaX2 »

Hi guys,

in the last couple of days I'm experiencing problems with app downloads. I get the error mentioned in the headline: "Failed to install the app". Checking with Firefox Tools - it seems the Z-Way app server is responding with response code 500 for internal server error.

Interestingly it seems that not all apps are affected, some can be downloaded without any problems, some were downloadable after multiple tries. :?:

Any idea, help or advice?

Thank you very much!

The log does not show any error messages or warnings. Just normal:
[2017-01-10 20:52:35.353] [core] Installing app PeriodicallySwitchController ...
[2017-01-10 20:52:49.778] [core] Installing app FireProtection ...


But in both cases the app will not install and it's showing the "Failed to install the app" Window at the default UI.

Hm.. looks it do not even start unpacking it - means it falls somewhaere in network problem. For example failed to download file. Can you check with wireshark? or tcpdump. It should connect to our server and download the file, but for some reason looks it does not.

As mentioned earlier I've checked with Firefox some details:

https://picload.org/image/rogaiocc/bild ... -1023-.png
https://picload.org/image/rogaiocp/bild ... -1023-.png

Maybe it's helpful? Will also check with your mentioned tools.

No, it is not. The problem is on the server side, not on client. So we need to get traces from the server. If you can provide remote access via "Remote support" feature, we can try ti diagnose this

I don't know if I used tcpdump the right way, but got a dump file for fire app with this command:
tcpdump -i eth0 -s 0 -w output_fire_app.dump tcp port 8083
The funny thing is: my first try was the Christmas Lights app, but this time it worked/downloaded (have also this dump file).

Remote (support) access is enabled.

oh, don't filter by 8083. We need to see Z-Way requesting the module. I propose to do instead "port not 22" to remove all SSH traffic.

We need your login/password/id to access. Please send on support@ or via PM
