I performed an upgrade of FME Server from 2018.1 to 2019, Windows 64 bit Server Express installation. Post install, I can get to the FME Server GUI but cannot log in to it.

Have tried:

  1. logging in with AD credentials, admin/admin account, or SA account.
  2. Uninstall and reinstalling FME Server 2019
  3. Hitting different URL addresses

Please help!

Hi @sashalockamy

As of FME Server 2019 the user no longer specifies the log in details during the initial installation. These are set to the default values Username: admin / Password: admin (all lowercase) and it is recommended you change this password once logged in. This is outlined in the final window of the install wizard:

 

If you are still receiving an error logging in using admin/admin please could you share the
  • fmeprocessmonitorcore and fmeserver log files available in <fmeserversystemshare>/resources/logs/core
  • catalina and localhost_access logs from <fmeserversystemshare>/resources/logs/tomcat

so we can investigate the issue further. If you do not want to post these on the public forum please create a case here: https://www.safe.com/support/report-a-problem/ and link this question in the description.

@hollyatsafe thank you for the quick response. I have tried

username: admin

password: admin

and it was unsuccessful. I have a support case in the system.


If you have performed an in-place FME Server upgrade and then cannot log in to FME Server this may be indicative of a mismatch with the Database Schema. This problem occurs when during the uninstall the old database was not fully removed and now the new install is trying to connect to this.
