Unable to install AppDynamics Controller in silent mode

Hello,

I'm unable to install the AppDynamics Controller in silent mode.

OS: Ubuntu 14.04

I installed the libaio libary with: sudo apt-get install libaio1

Created a varfile and download the controller, Version 4.0.6.0 (I had also tried version 4.0.7.0)

varfile:

######
controllerConfig=demo
iiopPort=3700
serverPort=8090
serverHostName=appdynamics-controller
haControllerType=notapplicable
controllerTenancyMode=single
adminPort=4848
sys.languageId=en
jmsPort=7676
sys.installationDir=/opt/AppDynamics/Controller
mysqlRootUserPassword=pa55word!
databasePort=3388
userName=apm
password=pa55word
rePassword=pa55word
sslPort=8181
realDataDir=/opt/AppDynamics/Controller/db/data
elasticSearchDataDir=/opt/AppDynamics/Controller/events_service/analytics-processor
disableEULA=true
rootUserPassword=pa55word!
rootUserRePassword=pa55word!
reportingServiceHTTPPort=8020
reportingServiceHTTPSPort=8021
elasticSearchPort=9200

######

But there is nothing in the installation directory /opt/AppDynamics/Controller

$ ls -la /opt/AppDynamics/Controller
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 15 10:28 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 15 10:23 ..
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root    8 Jun 15 10:28 .libaio_status
$ cat /opt/AppDynamics/Controller/.libaio_status
SUCCESS

Where is my mistake? I'm doing exactly this as it is described in the documentation. https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO40/Install+the+Controller

The installation without any silent mode works fine.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Mario,

We understood that appdynamics-controller is valid host name that resolved to contorller instance IP? let us know if any disconnect. Can you re-rerun with installation in silent mode using the attached file and see how it goes?

Regards,

Arun
