Is your Sitecore 8 package installer goes in never ending loop?

By  January 15, 2015 Sitecore 11 Comments

Friends – Have you started your Sitecore 8 Journey? How’s it? It’s awesome.. right? You will observe many new things while exploring Sitecore 8. This post will talk about one of such things. Scenario: If you find that your Sitecore 8 package installer is going in never ending loop, then this post may help you.

Reason: If you look at your logs during package installation, then you may find few errors reported by Sitecore.Analytics.MongoDB. This tells that your Sitecore 8 instance is not able to connect with your Mongo DB. Solution: Well, solution is very simple. You need to start your MongoDB database process by firing below command: 

mongod.exe --dbpath "[location of your MongoDB/data/db]"
For example:
mongod.exe --dbpath "C:Program FilesMongoDB 2.6 Standarddatadb"

In case, if you haven’t installed/configured MongoDB for your Sitecore 8 then you need to first setup MongoDB and then start MongoDB database process. If you are looking for how to setup MongoDB then this link may help you. After staring MongoDB database process, now try to install package in your Sitecore 8 instance and it should get installed without any issue.

    Hi Nilesh,

    Thanks. Saved me a lot of time with this article.

    I'm having the same trouble with Sitecore.Analytics.MongoDB as viewed from the Sitecore log. Just needed to have the MongoDB started and the installation worked well as expected.

    Cheers!

    Hey Sunil – Have you started your MongoDB service?

  5. Unknown July 23, 2015

    hey Nilesh, i am not using MongoDB at all and it is not installed on my system, i am using SQLSERVER2012 as my database which is on a network server, so why i need to install MongoDB and why i start MongoDB service ? hope you will show me exact path as per my query.

    same problem with index building ?

  8. Nilesh Thakkar July 28, 2015

    Yes.. you will face same issue while building index. You should configure your mongodb service as auto start as suggested in below link, so you need not start it every day manually. Please check your connection string file, there are mongoDb connections and that's why you need to configure this service.

    A little late in the game, but I disabled Analytics on local and packages started to install properly.

    <setting name="Analytics.Enabled" value="false" />
