OK, I upgraded from 2.2.1 to 2.3.1 however now cobblerd doesn't start anymore :-(

[root@cobbler ~]# /etc/init.d/cobblerd start
Starting cobbler daemon: No module named ctypes
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/cobblerd", line 76, in main
    api = cobbler_api.BootAPI(is_cobblerd=True)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/api.py", line 127, in __init__
    module_loader.load_modules()
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/module_loader.py", line 62, in load_modules blip = __import__("modules.%s" % ( modname), globals(), locals(), [modname]) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/modules/authn_pam.py", line 53, in ? from ctypes import CDLL, POINTER, Structure, CFUNCTYPE, cast, pointer, sizeof
ImportError: No module named ctypes

Any idea of what could be wrong ?
you told me to check potential .rpmnew files, there are 2 in /etc/cobbler:

[root@cobbler cobbler]# ls -ltra /etc/cobbler/*.rpmnew
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17205 Jan 11 16:10 /etc/cobbler/settings.rpmnew
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  3266 Jan 11 16:10 /etc/cobbler/modules.conf.rpmnew

could this be related ?

thanks.

You should be fine. Backing up /var/lib/cobbler is smart though, and pay attention to any .rpmnew files created.

OK, I got the latest source and made the rpms
# ls
cobbler-2.3.1-1.noarch.rpm      koan-2.3.1-1.noarch.rpm
cobbler-web-2.3.1-1.noarch.rpm

My cobbler installation is running on a centos5.7 system
# rpm -qa | grep -i cobbler
cobbler-web-2.2.1-1.el5
cobbler-2.2.1-1.el5

can I blindly upgrade those packages with the 2.3.1, or should I do something before ? where is the cobbler "database", config files , settings that I should care about before upgrade ?
is there an upgrade page recommendation ? I found that related:
https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/wiki/Relocating%20Your%20Install
but I'am afraid of bracking our installation by upgrading with a simple yum localinstall cobbler*2.3.1*, should I ?

Thanks.

In the tread it is mentioned that it should be corrected in 2.3.1
where can I get 2.3.1 !? and a SRPMS so that I can recompile to the latest release ?


Hi,

2.3.1 is the current development version, you can get it by pulling the source with git and run 'make rpms'
