apigee edge private cloud installation - apigee-service exited with unexpected status 1

[nmukkelli]

Hi I'm trying to install Apigee edge ( 5node cluster) as per the installation instructions 

https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.51.00/install-edge-components-node

Here is my config file : apigee.cfg

IP1=192.168.25.10
IP2=192.168.25.11
IP3=192.168.25.12
IP4=192.168.25.13
IP5=192.168.25.14
HOSTIP=$(hostname -i)
ENABLE_SYSTEM_CHECK=y
ENABLE_DYNAMIC_HOSTIP=n
ADMIN_EMAIL=adminuser@lab.local
APIGEE_ADMINPW=AdminPwd!
LICENSE_FILE=/root/apigee/config/license.txt
MSIP=$IP1
USE_LDAP_REMOTE_HOST=y
LDAP_HOST=adserver.lab.local
LDAP_PORT=389
APIGEE_LDAPPW=AdminPwd!
LDAP_TYPE=1
MP_POD=gateway
REGION=dc-1
ZK_HOSTS="$IP1 $IP2 $IP3"
ZK_CLIENT_HOSTS="$IP1 $IP2 $IP3"
CASS_CLUSTERNAME=Apigee
CASS_HOSTS="$IP1 $IP2 $IP3"
PG_USER=apigee
PG_PWD=postgres
PG_MASTER=$IP4
PG_STANDBY=$IP5
SKIP_SMTP=n
SMTPHOST=mail.lab.local
SMTPUSER=apigeegw@mail.lab.local
SMTPPASSWORD=MailPwd!
SMTPSSL=n
SMTPPORT=25
SMTPMAILFROM="Apigee API Gateway <apigeegw@mail.lab.local>"

I was able to install the following command successfully 

/opt/apigee/apigee-setup/bin/setup.sh -p ds -f  apigee.cfg

Both cassandra and zookeeper installed successfully on all 3 nodes (node 1, 2 and 3)

I'm tying to install management server using 

opt/apigee/apigee-setup/bin/setup.sh -p ms -f apigee.cfg

Everything seems to be going well but it fails with the following error, 

Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.

can't seem to workout what the problem was, would you guys be able to help?

Did you get a chance to check more information in /opt/apigee/var/log/edge-management-server/system.log ?

License file is required for for management-server component.

Good luck.

Thx mate, its actually file permission issue. I didn't realise the folder in which I placed the license file has incorrect permissions. Had to ensure the user I'm running the install command under has access to the license file.
