So far limited to Platform SunOS authbuild02 5.10 Generic_138889-02 i86pc i386 i86pc, Solaris 10 zone running on Intel hardware.

Cause

The problem is in the version of the tanuki wrapper version 232 that ships with bamboo. The wrapper is attempting to open a socket on the remote agent port but failing.

However, it is not recognizing the exception correctly in order to try the next available port number.

The problem seems to be the logic inside WrapperManager.openSocket(), which looks for either a BindException or an exception with "errno: 48" in the message. In this case there is neither.

Resolution

download the latest version of the wrapper yourself for your platform (if your organization allows you to) and copy,

• <wrapper>/bin/wrapper
• <wrapper>/lib/libwrapper.jnilib
• <wrapper>/lib/wrapper.jar

into <bamboo-agent-home>. Then set,

BAMBOO_AGENT_HOME=<bamboo-agent-home>
BAMBOO_SERVER=http://<myserver>:8085/agentServer/

and restart the agent with ./bin/bamboo-agent.sh
