Description Sirius Rayner-Karlsson 2009-04-05 16:05:01 UTC 
Description of problem:
After upgrading cobbler (from 1.4 to 1.6.x in Fedora 10) it now gives the impression of not being able to handle dnsmasq for DNS.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cobbler-1.6.2-1.fc10.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install cobbler plus pre/co-req's (had to chase down python-netaddr)
2. update configs in /etc/cobbler
3. run "cobbler sync"
  
Actual results:
[root@iota ~]# cobbler sync
Shutting down dnsmasq:                                     [  OK  ]
Starting dnsmasq:                                          [  OK  ]
- error: unknown DNS engine: manage_dnsmasq
cobbler trigger failed: cobbler.modules.sync_post_restart_services

Expected results:
No error messages about "unknown DNS engine".

Additional info:
from: /etc/cobbler/settings 
dnsmasq_bin: /usr/sbin/dnsmasq
dnsmasq_conf: /etc/dnsmasq.conf
manage_dns: 1
restart_dns: 1

from: /etc/cobbler/modules.conf 
[dns]
module = manage_dnsmasq
[dhcp]
module = manage_dnsmasq

Can make the files available from /etc/cobbler on request.

Created attachment 338264 [details]
patch for sync_post_restart_services.py 

Same problem here.

For a possible fix please copy the patch to (and change to) directory:
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cobbler/modules

And apply the patch as follow:

patch sync_post_restart_services.py < patch.sync_post_restart_services.py 

Please have a try.
Comment 2 Sirius Rayner-Karlsson 2009-04-06 05:31:57 UTC 
Good morning Niels,

I have tried your patch (python 2.5 here) and it applies and it makes the error message go away.

Thank you,

/Anders
