Environment

CA API Developer Portal 4.0 is in the process of the upgrade to v4.0.170601.

Cause

The following three RPM packages and their depending packages are not installed on the API Portal host.

• python-dateutil-1.5-7.el7.noarch.rpm
• python-jinja2-2.7.2-2.el7.noarch.rpm
• pyOpenSSL-0.13.1-3.el7.x86_64.rpm

Resolution

Please install the missing RPM packages with the following commands:

yum -y install python-dateutil
yum -y install python-jinja2
yum -y install pyOpenSSL.x86_64

Docker is supposed to be started already, so please start the API Portal only.

systemctl start apim-portal
