[Steve Dickson]

The $subject says it all... Any ideas what is going on here?

-------- Original Message --------

So yum install works, but 'ipa-server-install' fails every time - I've tried debugging but i think i've gone as far as i can down the pki tomcat rabbit hole:

Configuring certificate server (pki-tomcatd): Estimated time 3 minutes 30 seconds
  [1/20]: creating certificate server user
  [2/20]: configuring certificate server instance
ipa         : CRITICAL failed to configure ca instance Command '/usr/sbin/pkispawn -s CA -f /tmp/tmpO2lDxI' returned non-zero exit status 1
Configuration of CA failed

>From the install log:

Running that command by hand exposes a different bug:

/usr/sbin/pkispawn -s CA -f /tmp/tmpO2lDxI
ERROR:  File '/tmp/tmpO2lDxI' is either missing or is NOT a regular file!

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/pkispawn", line 424, in <module>
    main(sys.argv)
  File "/usr/sbin/pkispawn", line 122, in main

    parser.arg_parser.print_help()
NameError: global name 'parser' is not defined

the fix is two places where "parser." needs to be changed to "self." but that is just an error in an error path…
