Logging Traceback When bcfg2-server, bcfg2-lint, and bcfg2-admin are Run

[rcuza]

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).

bcfg2-ling gives the following traceback under the same conditions (regular user, same "broken" bcfg2.conf file:

While trying to see if it was my uninitiated state that was causing the problem I got the following error:

$ sudo bcfg2-admin init
Store Bcfg2 configuration in [/etc/bcfg2.conf]:

    e = sys.exc_info()[1]
NameError: global name 'sys' is not defined

Adding "import sys" to the top of this file fixes the traceback for bcfg2-admin init but still errors out without making the /var/lib/bcfg2 repo and this error:

Warning: /etc/bcfg2.conf already exists. Overwrite? [y/N]: y
Error global name 'keypath' is not defined occured while trying to write configuration file to '/etc/bcfg2.conf'.

Is this something to do with the PY3k work?

[rcuza]

By "this file" I mean /Library/Python?/2.6/site-packages/Bcfg2/Server/Admin/Init.py.

[rcuza]

And finally, /etc/bcfg2.conf was created but not /etc/bcfg2.key or /etc/bcfg2.crt.

Here is bcfg2.conf:

$ cat /etc/bcfg2.conf 

[server]
repository = /var/lib/bcfg2
plugins = Base,Bundler,Cfg,Metadata,Pkgmgr,Rules,SSHbase

[statistics]
sendmailpath = /usr/lib/sendmail
database_engine = sqlite3
# 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'mysql_old', 'sqlite3' or 'ado_mssql'.
database_name =
# Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
#<repository>/etc/brpt.sqlite is default path if left empty
database_user =
# Not used with sqlite3.
database_password =
# Not used with sqlite3.
database_host =
# Not used with sqlite3.
database_port =
# Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
web_debug = True

[communication]
protocol = xmlrpc/ssl
password = bestpasswdever
certificate = /etc/bcfg2.crt
key = /etc/bcfg2.key
ca = /etc/bcfg2.crt

Can you try this and see if it fixes things:

Yes. Those changes fixed the problem.
