Custom Query (894 matches)

When trying to deploy files with special chars in it (like german umlauts (ä, ö, ü, ..)) I get tracebacks on the client. I have attached two files containing the output of bcfg2-client.

bcfg2-error-w-lxml.log: Output when python-lxml is installed

bcfg2-error-wo-lxml.log: Output when python-lxml is not installed

The file which should be deployed is UTF-8 encoded. Server and client have set 'encoding = utf-8' in their configurations.

I'm using bcfg2-server 1.1.1 on a Debian lenny machine. On client side I can reproduce the problem with Debian lenny, squeeze and Ubuntu natty without python-lxml installed, but only on Ubuntu natty with python-lxml installed. So versions of python-lxml older than 2.3 seem to avoid this problem somehow...

I have also attached a patch for the client which solves the problem. But I think this is only a workaround and the real problem is on server side because the XML data should be encoded correctly before it is sent to the client.

Trying to reproduce problems people new to Bcfg2 may encounter.

After doing a fresh install of v1.2.0pre2 from the PKG made in the osx directory, I get the following traceback when trying to run bcfg2-server as a regular user or root.

With /etc/bcfg2.conf owned by root but readable by everyone:

When bcfg2.conf doesn't exist, I get the following error:

Could not read /etc/bcfg2.conf

Expected results: No traceback errors on command line and helpful error message.

The existing /etc/bcfg2.conf is as follows:

[communication]
protocol = xmlrpc/ssl
password = babydesaisaysNI
# certificate = /etc/bcfg2.key
# key = /etc/bcfg2.key

[components]
bcfg2 = https://localhost:6789
SunCityComputer:~ raulc$ cat /etc/bcfg2-test.conf 
[communication]
protocol = xmlrpc/ssl
password = foobat
# certificate = /etc/bcfg2.key
# key = /etc/bcfg2.key

[components]
bcfg2 = https://localhost:6789

Also, there is no Bcfg2 repository:

$ ls -d /var/lib/bcfg2
ls: /var/lib/bcfg2: No such file or directory

Tested on Mac OS X 10.6.7 (python 2.6.1).

In version 1.2.0.pre1, on Mac OS X (10.6), bcfg2-repo-validate errors out with the following:

  File "/usr/local/bin/bcfg2-repo-validate", line 27, in <module>
    os.chdir(schemadir)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/share/bcfg2/schemas'

Changing

schemadir = "%s/share/bcfg2/schemas" % (prefix)

to

schemadir = "%s/share/bcfg2/schemas" % ("/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current")

is a workaround, but is not the correct solution.
