Qlik Sense server May 2024 setup failure on "Qlik Sense Service Dispatcher" psql ndauth: no password supplied

Hi,

We have a blocking setup error of Qlik Sense server May 2024 on our single node recovery server (luckily we test on it before upgrading development then production servers).

As we had multiple setup failures (with and without QPI tool), even trying to go back to our August 2022 version after full de-installation, the support adviced us to restore the machine, which is very costly so I am here for some help !

Here is is the error log part and attached the full setup logs :

CAQuietExec: DataPrepService configuration started.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Apierensv, I would suggest updating the password for the dataprep service.

Hi, thanks for this proposition, however our error appears during the installation on an "empty" server, so we can't modify postrgre sql password if there is no postgresql on the server before the setup.

Or we should find a way to "pause" the setup just before this error to change the password ?

Hi Apierensv,

Do you have a stand-alone database?

Did you have Qlik Sense installed on this server prior?

The logs state the database was found.

Hi, we had in fact an empty stand alone database postgre 14 and Qlik Sense August 2022 was priorly installed.

Now I am trying to setup the old version of August 2022 (on empty server : no standalone postgresql, no QS server) to try again the full migration process with August 2022 referential imported from production on this recovery server (to be sure we won't be blocked in DEV), but I have the same error compared to the May 2024 version installation attempt :

CAQuietExec: DataPrepService configuration started.
CAQuietExec: WARNING: Skiping the database initialization. No superuser or password specified.
CAQuietExec: Creating schema 'dataprep_service'.

As the August 2022 error is the same I think it's not a password related issue.

Could you also tell me, once we succeed to setup again August 2022 version, what are the intermediary version we have to setup to go to May 2024 version ?

Again thanks a lot for your help.

Hi,

Yes I saw this link, however it is not clear because the intermediate versions I have to setup to go to May 2024 from August 2022 are not clearly given.

And regarding the error  "'dataprep_service'": psql: error: fe_sendauth: no password supplied" I have on August 2022 version without a separate postgresql DB, do you have any information ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi, 

For information we succeeded to setup again the August 2022 version on our recovery server, by cleaning the windows registry database on Postgresql entries (using RegScanner from Nirsoft editor), which is not supported by Microsoft & Qlik so I would recommend server reinitialization if possible.

To migrate from August 2022 to May 2024, using the QPI tool, to me the documentation does not recommend an intermediary version (https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-admin/May2024/Subsystems/DeployAdministerQSE/Content/Sense_DeployA...), am I wrong ?
