Description Michael Mráka 2010-02-16 16:08:44 UTC

Description of problem:
We moved away from mod_python (to mod_wsgi) on F12 but cobbler still uses mod_python.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
spacewalk 0.8

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install spacewalk 0.8
2. enable /server-info in /etc/httpd/conf/http.conf
3. visit http://spacewalk/server-info
  
Actual results:
Loaded Modules: mod_wsgi.c, mod_ssl.c, mod_python.c, ...
Server Version: Apache/2.2.14 (Unix) DAV/2 mod_python/3.3.1 Python/2.6.2 mod_ssl/2.2.14 OpenSSL/1.0.0-fips-beta4 mod_wsgi/2.5
...
Current Configuration:
In file: /etc/httpd/conf.d/cobbler.conf
  33: <Directory "/var/www/cobbler/svc/">
  35:   PythonHandler services
  36:   PythonDebug on
  37:   PythonPath "sys.path + ['/var/www/cobbler/svc/']"
    : </Directory>
...
In file: /etc/httpd/conf.d/cobbler.conf
  33: <Directory "/var/www/cobbler/svc/">
  34:   SetHandler mod_python
    : </Directory>

Expected results:
no mod_python

Commits in spacewalk that converted it to use mod_wsgi

For us we still wanted to be able to use mod_python in RHEL 5, so this basically adds a wrapper that emulates mod_python.  It doesn't emulate it at 100%, so it may not work 100% for cobbler.

Cobbler has been updated to use mod_wsgi as of 2.0.4. cobbler-web still using mod_python, this will be addressed, but I don't believe this is a factor for Spacewalk.

Comment 3 Felix Kaechele 2010-10-22 07:32:04 UTC

Any news on the cobbler-web mod_wsgi port?

Comment 4 Devan Goodwin 2010-10-22 12:07:48 UTC

Nothing yet, I had a start of a patch to switch the web UI to mod_wsgi as well but did not have time to complete it. I can provide if anyone would like to pick up the work.
