Resource not found by Assets controller

Request Type

Bug

Work Environment

Question	Answer
OS version (server)	CentOS 7.0.2
OS version (client)	MacOS 10.12.1
TheHive version / git hash	Unknown, 7938d85
Package Type	From source
Browser type & version	Chrome 54.0.2840.71 (64-bit)

Problem Description

After building from source and starting TheHive, I get the following error in my browser.

A client error occurred (/index.html / /index.html : Resource not found by Assets controller.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Build from source
2. configure ElasticSearch and start
3. perform initial config
4. perform first start
5. Browse to server:9000

Possible Solutions

• The file /opt/thehive/conf does not exist...perhaps it is supposed to be created by Reflections?
• The file /opt/thehive/conf does not exist...perhaps it is supposed to be copied from TheHive directory but the instructions say sudo cp TheHive/target/universal/stage /opt/thehive?
• Conflict with Java version and Reflections (Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_112-b15))
• I have started over and done everything as root
• I have checked /var/log/audit/audit.log for any selinux conflicts, I didn't see any, but I tried setenforce 0 to remove it from the equation

Complementary information

application.log without the conf directory being added by me.

Hello @peasead, this issue sounds like #19.

I'll double check the process of running TheHive from sources and will be back ASAP

Thank you

[To-om]

NullPointerException is not related to your problem. This NPE doesn't have any impact. I've just created an issue of it (#41) as it pollutes the logs.

Your problem seems to be related to front-end build. Please ensure that all requirements are met.
In the source directory, can you check that front-end build doesn't generate errors:

cd ui
npm install
bower install
grunt build

[peasead]

Thanks @To-om. I think I got lost between the different sections of the installation guides. I took the "build the front-end only" section a section for people who were just building a front-end to existing infrastructure.

No harm, I got it working, thanks. I'm building a CentOS 7.2 guide that I plan on making a PR for as there are several nuances between Ubuntu and CentOS.

Thanks for #41, that will help me an others in the future!

/cheers

Front-end files should be built when bin/activator clean stage is run (if nodejs, bower and grunt are correctly installed).
"build the front-end only" section is useful if you want to put front-end elsewhere than in back-end (in reverse proxy for example).
