Troubleshooting the Microgateway

This documentation is for the API Microgateway component that is coupled with WSO2 API Manager 2.6.0.
View the documentation for the latest release - WSO2 API Microgateway 3.0.2.

When errors/exceptions occur in the system, the API Microgateway throws error responses to the client by default. The following sections explain about the different ways of troubleshooting common problems that might occur while you use the Microgateway.

Common exceptions and solutions

The table below shows the common exceptions that might occur when you are trying to use the API Microgateway, and how to fix them. These exceptions can happen due to misconfigurations.

Error logPossible causeResolution
micro-gw: Error occurred while trying to connect with server. Is the server running at https://localhost:9443?

The API Manager node (Publisher) is down when running the setup command in the Microgateway.

Verify the connectivity between the Microgateway and the API manager node.
micro-gw: Error in client response : {message:"Network is unreachable: www.mocky.io/54.194.152.6:80", cause:null}

A connection to the backend could not be established because the network is unavailable.

Verify the network stability.
Micro-gw: ERROR [src:0.0.0] - Error in client response : {message:"Connection refused: localhost/127.0.0.1:8080", cause:null}Connection to the backend is refused.Check the connection to the backend.
error [docker plugin]: Unable to build docker image: {"message":"invalid reference format: repository name must be lowercase"}

The name of the docker images should be in lower case.

When building the project with docker annotations, the docker image name is retrieved from the API name and version. If the API name contains a capital letter, then the docker image n ame would reflect that, resuling in this error.



When building the API microgateway project, provide a simple letter name for the docker image in the deployment.toml file as shown below.


[docker]
  [docker.dockerConfig]
    enable = true
    name = "hello_world"

SSL hostname verification has failed in the key validation call.
The localhost hostname is supported by default.
You need to add the public certificate of the Key Manager to the Microgateway truststore. Also, make sure that you change the certificateAlias accordingly.
ERROR [ballerina/http] - Error while validating JWT token : {message:"Invalid signature", cause:null}JWT signature verification has failed.
Verify the following:
  • JWT signer’s public cert should be available in the Microgateway’s truststore.
  • The correct Certificate Alias should be given in the <MICROGW_HOME>/conf/micro-gw.conf file.
