In ArcGIS Server on Linux/Solaris, the Geocode service using Direct Connect data source fails to start

Description

When creating a Geocode service using Direct Connect data source, the following error is seen after clicking Finish and the Geocode service does not start:

"Error:

Server object instance creation failed on all SOC machines. Server Object instance creation failed on machine <machine name>.
Error loading the Server Side application (SSA)[/....../arcgis/bin/ssa/liblocssa.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]."

Cause

The liblocssa.so file is located at /arcgis/bin folder - not the /arcgis/bin/ssa folder.

Workaround

1. Create a new directory 'ssa' under /arcgis/bin if it does not exist by typing these commands in the terminal:
   
   cd /arcgis/bin
   mkdir ssa
   
2. Create the following symbolic link by typing this command in the terminal:
   ln -s /arcgis/bin/liblocssa.so /arcgis/bin/ssa/liblocssa.so
