Symptom

HTTP 404 error when connecting to Crucible even though the URL seems to be correct

See bug PL-242.

Cause and Solution

In the connector configuration panel, you provide a URL for your Crucible server. When attempting to access Crucible, the connector appends the string '/rest-service/' to the URL provided in the connector configuration panel. The resulting URL is the REST endpoint of the Crucible instance. Therefore, you should enter just the base URL for your main Fisheye+Crucible website.

Example:

  • Let's say that the URL for your main Fisheye+Crucible website is http://your.host, and the URL for your Crucible server is http://your.host/cru.
  • In the connector configuration panel, you should enter the following as the connection URL:
    http://your.host
  • The resulting REST endpoint that the connector tries to reach will be http://your.host/rest-service.

The situation can become even more complicated when the Crucible server is fronted by Apache acting as a proxy. Mappings for Crucible URLs can be configured in an unpredictable way, resulting in weird '404' errors.

Symptom

HTTP 400 when connecting to JIRA, even though the URL seems to be correct

See bug PL-643

Cause and Solution

In the connector configuration panel, you provide a URL for your JIRA server. When attempting to access JIRA, the connector uses SOAP and appends the string '/rpc/soap/jirasoapservice-v2' to the URL provided in the configuration panel. In order for such an URL to work, the JIRA server has to have its SOAP RPC enabled and configured to use this URL.

The simplest way to test if you have your JIRA SOAP endpoint configured correctly is to point your browser at it (with the appended string added at the end). The resulting page should read something along the lines of:

Hi there, this is an AXIS service!
Perhaps there will be a form for invoking the service here...

Example:

Steps required for configuring JIRA SOAP service are described in http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Enabling+the+RPC+plugin
