Currently I've setup the XP1 successfull, it is up and Running and here is my Setup:
So now I am trying to install Sitecore XC Update 1 on this setup.
- the only knowledge I have so far that I need to install the XC on my CM and CD's
- I couldn't find any help on the sitecore site, what is strange because they are selling the hole thing and not too cheap
Some hints to my Installation configuration
I've removed the "EnsureLocalUser" Task in the "CommerceEngine.Deploy.json" because I am using a Domain User, this domain user exists on my SQL Server and has sysadmin rights
I've removed the Task "InstallSolrCores" in the "Master_SingleServer.json" because I've installed them directly on the SOLR Server
I've removed the "DO_NOT_TRUST_" from all json files and added my Root CA Thumbprint to all "RootCertFileName" DefaultValues
My XP0 Installation from XP and XC I've done with this documentation: https://buoctrenmay.com/2018/03/24/step-by-step-guide-for-sitecore-xc9-update-1-installation-on-your-machine/
And I was hoping that I could use the same Installation Script with some changes to the Certificate, ....

My current problem is, that the setup can't restart the SQL Server. SQL Server is installed on a another machine.
This is a strange issues as on my Dev Setup the SQL Server is also on another machine, and here I don't get this error.
Error Message in English: "Cannot validate argument on parameter ‘InputObject’.
The argument is null or empty. Provide an argument that is not null or empty, and then try the command again."
So, the Problem with the Cannont validate I've "solved" so far.
- the Problem was that I've restarted the Installation Script again and when you restart it, it tries to delete all the websites when they are existing and then it tries also to restart the SQL Server. My first Solution is that I've manually removed all XC Websites which where created so far.
And I think now I've found my error why there are no commerce databases created on the SQL Server.
But I only have the German Error Text :-/
- the second error seems to be a problem with the SQL Server, perhaps a restart help here. I've just tried to install it again on the next morning and the error was gone.
My next Error is on "InstallModule" I get a 403.0 error when trying to install the Sitecore PowerShell Extensions-4.7.2 for Sitecore 8.zip
When I try to call this size directly on the Browser I get the same error
Solution for the 403.0 Error was that the page only was avaible with HTTPS when I was calling the page with HTTPS it was working, so I've modified the "master_singleServer.json" from http to https
"UtilitiesBaseUrl": "[concat('https://', concat(parameter('SiteHostHeaderName'), '/SiteUtilityPages'))]",
problem: "EnsureSyncDefaultContentPaths"
Descriped here: Ensure/Sync default content paths for environment AdventureWorksAuthoring failed during SXC installation
But I don't know what to fill into the config.json files and into which files, because when you search in the wwwroot I got 8 result.
when I look into the IIs Log I see what URL is called in here seems everything ok and I've also called the funktion called with Postman but I don't know if this is the right result
- This problem could be solved by Step #6 on the blogpost https://buoctrenmay.com/2018/03/24/step-by-step-guide-for-sitecore-xc9-update-1-installation-on-your-machine/
Setting up web.config and Sitecore.ContentSearch.config
I also hat to manipulate the web.config I had commented out the following rule for the installation after it comment it in again
<rule name="Forbidden" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="(.*)" /> <conditions> <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^OFF$" /> <add input="{HTTP_METHOD}" pattern="GET" /> </conditions> <action type="CustomResponse" statusCode="403" subStatusCode="0" /> </rule>In the file C:\inetpub\wwwroot\\App_Config\Sitecore\ContentSearch/Sitecore.ContentSearch.config comment out the event
<event name="packageinstall:items:ended"> <handler type="Sitecore.ContentSearch.Events.PackagingEventHandler, Sitecore.ContentSearch" method="OnPackageInstallItemsEndHandler" /> </event>
After this Changes the Installation on my CM was successfull
If you need more information about my setup please tell me what you need to know
