# Troubleshooting Harbor Installation

## Harbor Doesn't Start or Functions Incorrectly

When Harbor does not function correctly, run the following commands to find out if all of Harbor's containers in **UP** status:
```
    $ sudo docker-compose ps
        Name                     Command               State                    Ports
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  harbor-core         /harbor/start.sh                 Up
  harbor-db           /entrypoint.sh postgres          Up      5432/tcp
  harbor-jobservice   /harbor/start.sh                 Up
  harbor-log          /bin/sh -c /usr/local/bin/ ...   Up      127.0.0.1:1514->10514/tcp
  harbor-portal       nginx -g daemon off;             Up      80/tcp
  nginx               nginx -g daemon off;             Up      0.0.0.0:443->443/tcp, 0.0.0.0:4443->4443/tcp, 0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp
  redis               docker-entrypoint.sh redis ...   Up      6379/tcp
  registry            /entrypoint.sh /etc/regist ...   Up      5000/tcp
  registryctl         /harbor/start.sh                 Up
```

If a container is not in the `Up` state, check the log file for that container in `/var/log/harbor`. For example, if the `harbor-core` container is not running, look at the `core.log` log file.

## Using nginx or Load Balancing

When setting up Harbor behind an `nginx` proxy or elastic load balancing, look for the following line in `common/config/nginx/nginx.conf` and, if the proxy already has similar settings, remove it from the sections `location /`, `location /v2/` and `location /service/`.

``` sh
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
```

Then re-deploy Harbor per the instructions in "Managing Harbor Lifecycle.
