Splunk DB Connect 2: Why am I getting "Error: Could not find or load main class com.splunk.dbx2.rpc.RPCServer"?

[mmensch]

Hi all,

I've checked the other posts regarding RPC connector.

My java home is in the correct spot and it is defined properly in the inputs.conf file.

The errors I am receiving are:

09/04/2015 13:30:17 [CRITICAL] [rpcstart.py] RPC server has been terminated abnormally with error [Error: Could not find or load main class com.splunk.dbx2.rpc.RPCServer].

This took me forever to figure out.... when I was importing the db drivers I somehow deleted the rpcserver-all.jar located at:

$SPLUNK_HOME$/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/bin/lib/rpcserver-all.jar

Re-uploaded this missing jar from the original tar.gz off the Splunk app store, restarted the server and was golden!
