KB (V)PRO/5 Rev 22+ fails to start

(V)PRO/5 Rev 22+ fails to find the certificate.bls

This occurs when BLS versions of (V)PRO/5 start in directory is not the same directory where the certificate.bls resides, which is the same directory where the (V)PRO/5 executable resides. (V)PRO/5 22 uses standard file search processes to find the certificate.bls and the blsclient.conf.

To fix this issue please add the following properties to the config.bbx the application uses:

CERTIFICATE=
BLSCLIENT=

Provide the full path and filename to these files.

Also, adding the directory (V)PRO/5 directory to the PREFIX is an option.

The error messages pertaining to not ‘finding’ these files is not always clear or indicative of the actual problem.

The blsclient.conf is where you configure the client to find the BLS running.  You will find this reference in your blsclient.conf, which is the default configuration to look for the BLS running on the local machine.  Modify this as needed if your BLS is running on a different machine::

servers=[
    {
        host=localhost
    }
]
