Afternoon, Perhaps everyone knows this but I've had trouble getting Cobbler to work correctly on 10.04 LTS. I spoke with someone on IRC and they said alot of effort had been going into Cobbler for Natty.
As a result I tried to get it working under Natty Alpha 3 in a VM and found the Web UI did not work correctly using the default package. I've outlined the steps required to make it work in the hope it might help someone else. ###################################### Cobbler inital config on natty-alpha3 ###################################### apt-get install cobbler a2enmod proxy_http cd /etc/apache2/conf.d ln -s /etc/cobbler/cobbler_web.conf cobbler_web.conf Edit cobbler_web.conf and comment out line 9 so it reads ------------------------------------------------- #CustomLog logs/access_log combined env=!dontlog ------------------------------------------------- cd /var/www rm cobbler_webui_content ln -s /usr/share/cobbler/webroot/cobbler_webui_content/ cobbler_webui_content ################################## Configure cobbler to allow logins ################################## Edit /etc/cobbler/modules.conf Change the line which reads ----------------- [authentication] module = authn_denyall ----------------- So that it actually says ----------------- [authentication] module = authn_configfile ----------------- ############### Now add a user ############### htdigest /etc/cobbler/users.digest "Cobbler" myusername ##################### Restart all services ##################### service apache2 stop service cobbler stop service apache2 start service apache2 start I've also posted this as a bug for the package in Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cobbler/+bug/741661 I hope this is the correct procedure? It's my first bug report so please let me know if I should do things differently in the future. Regards, Jamie.
