Issue #1808 has been updated by Brian Candler.


Thank you for this starting point. Problems with Netdot and Apache 2.4 / Ubuntu 
14.04 / 13.10 have been reported several times:

http://osl.uoregon.edu/pipermail/netdot-users/2014-May/001839.html
http://osl.uoregon.edu/pipermail/netdot-users/2014-May/001838.html
http://osl.uoregon.edu/pipermail/netdot-users/2014-March/001777.html
http://osl.uoregon.edu/pipermail/netdot-users/2013-November/001679.html

but no answers were forthcoming on the list. I'm going to spend a bit of time 
on it today.

Bug #1808: Installation on Ubuntu 14.04

I was trying to do a fresh install of Netdot 1.0.6 on Ubuntu 14.04 and I have 
found some problems that were fixable for me and another one which may require 
some code to change.

First of all it seems that with Ubuntu 14.04 a dependency is missing after the 
packages installation process. make testdeps reports a missing SNMP::Info but 
the package is installed though. To fix this I had to manually install the 
libsnmp-perl package. So it might be a good idea to add it to the dependencies 
list.

After completing the entire install process without any troubles the Apache 
configuration for Netdot seems to be problematic. In Ubuntu 14.04, Apache is in 
version 2.4 so there are some syntax changes to setup the permissions. I had to 
replace the classic:
<pre>
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
</pre>
by
<pre>
Require all granted
</pre>

Finally I am hitting another problem which is for me unsolvable with my 
knowledge. When going on the login page I am facing this error:
<pre>

Issue #1808 has been updated by Brian Candler.


Update: this appears to be to do with the authentication/authorization changes 
in Apache 2.4, but I haven't been able to work out how to fix it.

When you put "Require all granted" under <Directory /usr/local/netdot/htdocs/> 
then I think it completely bypasses authentication. Hence the pages aren't 
seeing any user in the Netdot::UI object (even though the cookie is being set 
properly by NetdotLogin)

Removing it means that "require valid-user" takes precedence, which is what we 
want. I had to put "Require all granted" under <Location /netdot/NetdotLogin>.

However I now get zero response in the browser, and the following logged in 
/var/log/apache2/error.log:
<pre>failed to resolve handler Apache2::SiteControl</pre>
That message appears to come from /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_perl.so

There seem to be few changes between ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04 in this area:
- libapache2-sitecontrol-perl is still 1.05
- libapache2-authcookie-perl has gone from 3.18 to 3.20
- libhttp-cookies-perl is still 6.00

I'm really not an expert in mod_perl but could mod_perl be (at least partially) 
broken with Apache 2.4?
Apache is in a new major release but the Apache perl libraries are not. This 
looks like a good way to introduce bugs.
