Kevin, Ellie's away for the next week or so, so I'm replying in her absence.
Please can you share the logs from Ellis (below /var/log/ellis) and Homestead-Prov (below /var/log/homestead-prov) that are generated when you see this failure? This will tell us which URL on Homestead-Prov failed, and hopefully why - then we can figure out what configuration needs to be reinstated in Cassandra. Regarding Ellis and app server provisioning, the way this works is that * when you tick an app server in the Ellis UI, Ellis reads the IFC from app-server.json and writes it to Homestead * when you reload the page, Ellis reads the IFCs from Homestead, sees if any match the app servers in app-server.json and marks the checkboxes as ticked/unticked accordingly * if you untick an app server in the Ellis UI, Ellis finds the IFC that corresponds to it and removes it * crucially, if an IFC doesn't match any app server, Ellis just ignores the IFC - it doesn't display it in the Ellis UI and it doesn't modify the IFC. As a result, the best way to change an app server's IFC is either to * find all the subscribers with the old IFC, uncheck that app server in the Ellis UI, modiy the IFC in app-server.json and then recheck the app server or * not modify the IFC in app-server.json and instead just introduce a new app server (e.g. "app server v2") in app-server.json and then, on a per-subscriber basis, uncheck the old app server and check the new one. I admit this is a bit clunky - unlike components like Sprout and Homestead, which are built to be carrier-grade, Ellis is a tool for easy provisioning for demos and testing, but does have a few rough edges! Please let me know about the logs.

Looking at the logs I noticed that it was still my old IFC. So I unchecked and re-checked the App server in the Ellis configuration as well as restarting Ellis. I then noticed that I was getting looping, and again digging into the logs I saw that I had two triggers now. I dug into Cassandra on Homestead and saw both the triggers in the database. I deleted the entries in Cassandra (not using truncate) and Ellis stopped letting me see the numbers because of the BAD GATEWAY - The server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, received an invalid response from the upstream server it accessed in attempting to fulfill the request. (XHR): GET Error. I figured that perhaps if I terminate my Homestead and Homer servers and rebuild them from scratch that it would rebuild the databases from Ellis. But looking back I guess I didn't take into consideration that even though you populate the numbers in Ellis prior to installing Homer and Homestead, you don't create the users, which is what would be different right now. So needless to say at this point, that didn't work. I just ran your updated script and it populated the Cassandra databases on Homestead, but I am still getting the BAD GATEWAY error trying to look at my previous numbers. So presuming something is still missing. I have restarted all the services. Just to note, this is a manual install with each components bono, sprout, homer, homestead and ellis running on individual servers.

I ask because if you truncated the databases then Cassandra automatically takes a backup before it does the truncating, so you could restore from that. We don't have a supported method in Project Clearwater for restoring Homer/Homestead data from Ellis. We recommend instead that users take periodic backups of the persistent data stores - please see http://clearwater.readthedocs.org/en/latest/Backups/index.html for more details. That said, I've taken a look at the repop scripts, and fixed up initial runtime errors. If you take the latest scripts from the dev branch of Ellis then you should be able to use these to repopulate Homestead/Homer (they'll fill in default values for anything Ellis doesn't know, e.g. the IFCs, and they'll reset the subscriber passwords). Please note that this isn't our supported method though, and hasn't gone through a full QA.

I was hoping that they would automatically resync with Ellis, but that doesn't appear to be the case. I see this script in Github https://github.com/Metaswitch/ellis/blob/dev/scripts/repop_hs.py, but I don't see the script on the Ellis instance. I am not sure if this is even what I need. I did copy the source to a file on Ellis and tried to run it similarly to how you would run the create_numbers.py, but just ran to into a bunch of errors. Looking for some help to re-sync the Homer and Homestead databases from Ellis. Thanks Kevin
