Resolution

Click on the link for the relevant exit code to access an article with more information on the error, its cause and how to resolve it.

Generally, the following steps resolve the majority of errors:

  1. Copy the Compatibility Package from the source directory again or try restoring the Compatibility Package from backup.
  2. If the Compatibility Package still fails to deploy or launch, re-create it which recreates any missing configuration files.
  3. Invalid XML configuration files (error codes -8 through to -13), typically occur when XML tags are malformed. This usually happens as a result of incorrect editing of the Compatibility Package's configuration files.

Please contact Cloudhouse Support if the above does not resolve your problem.
