Unable to compile class for JSP during CA installation

[Konstantin Sapozhnikov]

Hello! We cant't install IPA Replica on Oracle Linux Server 8.8.
When I try to install ipa-ca-install receive in ipareplica-ca-install.log:

Unable to compile class for JSP</p><p><b>Description</b> The
server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the
request.</p><p><b>Exception<
/b></p><pre>org.apache.jasper.JasperException:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP

Ok, I tried to install new ipa server and receive same problem at
/var/log/ipaserver-install.log:
[error] RuntimeError: CA configuration failed and Unable to compile class for JSP

About 2 month ago I succesfully instaled IPA on same server with OEL 8, but now I
can't.

Also on server, that I used to month ago I see java-1.8.0-openjdk.x86_64, but on new
server:
java-1.8.0-openjdk.x86_64 and java-11-openjdk.x86_64 (selected). I tried choose
java-1.8.0^ but no result...

Hi,
can you share the logs from /var/log/pki/pki-ca-spawn.$DATE.log and the
full ipa-ca-install.log?

Hello! Just drop this VM and reinstall from 2-month old snapshot of ipa replica server
with same OS - all was perfect without problems. Later will try another clean installation
and provide logs.
