Radhika Nair commented on CLOUDSTACK-602:
-----------------------------------------

After I installed Cloudstack, there was no indication that the installation 
failed.  Then I tried to log into the Management Server UI, it would not let me 
and gave no indication of why.   

Yes, the impact is not being able to log into the UI.
Yes, just running ln -s /usr/bin/genisoimage /usr/bin/mkisofs from the 
management server machine ... and then rerunning the  install management server 
script ... worked

You see, the install script assumes that mkisofs is on the server machine, but 
Debian/Ubuntu install genisoimage instead.   Putting this info in 
Troubleshooting would help a lot of people.   Ideally, the install script would 
simply check to see whether mkisofs or genisoimage is on the system, and use 
which ever one is installed. But in the interim, this info in Troubleshooting 
should help a lot of people wanting to use Cloudstack on Debian based systems. 

Mel.

> cloud-setup-management fails quietly if /usr/bin/mkisofs is no found.  
> Failure is indicated only in the 
> /var/log/cloud/management/management-server.log.    This results in the 
> inability to log into client via the web interface. 
> The docs should at least note the dependency and, maybe, suggest this 
> workaround: 
> ln -s /usr/bin/genisoimage /usr/bin/mkisofs
