[et-mgmt-tools] [ANNOUNCE] Cobbler 1.0.1 (minor fixes)

Tue Jun 3 22:26:51 UTC 2008

OH forgot to mention I suspect the issue to be that /var/lib/cobbler/snippets is not accessible by the http server. If I move the snippets directory some where accessible by apache than the ks template will be render but the none of the snippets are ran????

Looks good thanks again.

However now back to my original issue....

I am having a problem with kickstart templates that are using snippets. If I have snippets in my ks template cobbler will not render the ks and hence the install fails.

Here is the error from the web interface:
Mod_python error: "PythonHandler services"

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/mod_python/apache.py", line 299, in HandlerDispatch
    result = object(req)

  File "/var/www/cobbler/svc/services.py", line 82, in handler
    content = func( **form )

  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/services.py", line 70, in ks
    data = self.remote.generate_kickstart(profile,system,REMOTE_ADDR,REMOTE_MAC)

    return u.close()

  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/xmlrpclib.py", line 744, in close
    raise Fault(**self._stack[0])

Fault:

And here is the error from the HTTP server when anaconda trys to pull down the ks template from the server

</pre>

Let me know more info. I would be happy to show my snippets and ks templates. I have some cool stuff...

At least I think so :-)

PS. This all work find in 8.3 not so in 1.x

Here's a fix for the duplicate argument problem:

http://cobbler.et.redhat.com/download/cobbler-1.0.1-2.src.rpm

Unit tests and basic commands work for me, let me know if you find
anything else.
