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.

Runtime errors

Error log	Possible cause	Resolution
`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 [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"
`ERROR [wso2/gateway:0.0.0] - Error occurred while reading the key validation response : {message:"Connection refused: localhost/127.0.0.1:9443", cause:null}` `ERROR [wso2/gateway:0.0.0] - Error occurred while converting the authorized value from the key validation response to a` `string value : {message:"'null' cannot be cast to 'string'", cause:null}` `ERROR [wso2/gateway:0.0.0] - Error occurred while getting key validation information for the access token : {message:"call failed", cause:{message:"call failed", cause:{message:"'null' cannot be cast to 'string'", cause:null}, causes:[{message:"'null' cannot be cast to 'string'", cause:null}]}, causes:[{message:"call failed", cause:{message:"'null' cannot be cast to 'string'", cause:null}, causes:[{message:"'null' cannot be cast to 'string'", cause:null}]}]}`	The Microgateway could not connect to the Key Manager for OAuth2 key validation.	Check the connection between the Microgateway and the Key Manager.
`ERROR [wso2/gateway:0.0.0] - Error occurred while reading the key validation response : {message:"General SSLEngine problem/192.168.8.101:9443", cause:null}` `ERROR [wso2/gateway:0.0.0] - Error occurred while converting the authorized value from the key validation response to a` `string value : {message:"'null' cannot be cast to 'string'", cause:null}`	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 `<MGW_HOME>/conf/micro-gw.conf` file.

Toolkit errors

Error log

Possible cause

Resolution

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.

ERROR {org.wso2.apimgt.gateway.cli.cmd.Main} - Internal error occurred while executing command.
com.github.jknack.handlebars.HandlebarsException: /home/kim/Downloads/wso2am-micro-gw-toolkit-x.x.x/resources/templates/service.mustache:36:87: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can't resolve: 'doc'

This is due to an issue in the Service template.

Open the <MGW_HOME>/resources/templates file.
Remove the @swagger:ServiceInfo annotation-related configuration in the service.mustache template.
Re-run the setup command.

micro-gw: Project name `petstore` already exist.

You get this error when you re-run the micro-gw init <project-name> command while you already have a project with the same name (e.g., petstore ) in the current working directory.

Carry out one of the following actions to overcome this error.

Override the current project
If you need to override the current Microgateway project, run the init command with the -f (--force)option. For example, use the following command if you are overriding the petstore project.
```
micro-gw init <project-name> -f
```
Create a new project
If you do not need to override the current Microgateway project, run the init command with another project name from another working directory.
```
micro-gw init <project-name>
```

Runtime error responses

Error code	Error response	Possible reasons
`101503`	{ "fault": { "code": "101503", "message": "Runtime Error", "description": "Error connecting to the back end" } }	The network is not reachable by the backend. The connection from the backend has been refused.
`101504`	{ "fault": { "code": "101504", "message": "Runtime Error", "description": "Connection timed out" } }	The connection has timed out. The connection has timed out from the Microgateway end. Response is getting delayed and hence timeout occurs in the Microgateway side.
⁹⁰⁰⁹⁰⁰	{ "fault": { "code": 900900, "message": "Unclassified Authentication Failure", "description": "Unclassified Authentication Failure" } }	The Key Manager is down.

Runtime error codes

Given below are some WSO2 API Microgateway specific error codes and their meanings.

Error code	Possible reason

`900900`	API-M authentication related error.
`900901`	Invalid access token.
