I’m having trouble starting the simulation server on Ubuntu 16.04. I get an error message saying “ERROR: Server not started: Invalid URL”. UA TCP address is opc.tcp://advantech:53530/OPCUA/SimulationServer
I’m using server version 4.0.0.-105

Hi,
Could you check your /.prosysopc/prosys-opc-ua-simulation-server/log/simulationserver.log for an error stacktrace and paste it here (or alternatively to uajava-support@prosysopc.com)?

The relevant part is probably contained here:

Hi, and thanks for the informative log excerption! It seems that the scope id of your IPv6 address contains the “-” character which is rejected by the Java URI parser.
If you don’t need to use IPv6 addresses in Simulation Server, you can go to the installation folder and find the settings.xml file. There you should search for the “useIPv6” field and change the value to false. This should hopefully solve the issue.

@Markus, I also aware the same problem and tried to disable the IPv6 configure in settings.xml. unfortunately, it doesn’t work for me. The only way to workaround is reboot my ubuntu VM and restart OPC UA server again. Do you have any idea about this?

Hi,
I cannot say what could be causing this. Would it be possible for you to zip the “log” folder (next to the “settings.xml” file) and send it to support@prosysopc.com after the error happens?

Hi,
I also had the same problem on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS : “ERROR: Server not started: Invalid URL”
Setting “useIPv6” to “false” did not work for me, but changing Endpoint Bind Address from “All” to “Custom” did.

Solution is to disable http2 in your /etc/nginx/conf.d/rocket.chat.conf:
server {
#listen 443 ssl http2 default_server;
listen 443 ssl default_server;
#listen [::]:443 ssl http2 default_server;

Hi,
We are aware of the issue, should be fixed in the next release (which might take some time still due to other changes).
The reason is that our SDK didn’t handle IPv6 addresses exactly properly if there are scopes, it is fixed in the SDK 4.3.0, but the current release version of the application uses older SDK version.
Also it might be that my earlier suggestion of the useIPv6 option wont help since we might fail before we even get to that point internally. However the custom endpoint instead of all mentioned above should work.

Hello,Yash Joshi here,new to the forum,
I have the same Issue:
1) Tried to update the settings.xml, but realised there is no such file in /home/user/.prosysopc/prsosys-opc-ua-simulation-server/
2) Tried changing to the Custom endpoint from the ‘All’, but the server doesn’t absorb the changes, the changes are never recorded and the next time i start the server, the changes are as they were earlier.
3) I tried uninstalling and installing version 5.0.0, but no use,same issue.
4) tried updating the file /etc/nginx/conf.d/rocket.chat.conf, but realised there is no nginx directory there too.
uname -a gives:
Linux user 5.3.0-46-generic #38~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 31 04:17:56 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Hi,
The “settings.xml” is not in use in newer versions of Simulation Server. so you need to edit the “serverSettings.xml” file instead. There you can find the fields and to customize the options for using IPv6 and toggling the Endpoint Bind Addresses settings between “All” and “Custom”. If you are missing the settings file altogether, then it needs to be resolved by email. Yash Joshi, I sent you an email also.

I received mail from the official support Engineer with the settings.xml file and putting it in the .prosysopc/prosys…/ directory solved my issue.
Thanks for your time. 😉
