How reproducible:

Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install and configure cobbler and cobbler-web
2. With a browser go to the webui "http://localhost/cobbler_web/"

  
Actual results:

You get the following mod_python error:
MOD_PYTHON ERROR

    raise ValueError("Incorrect timezone setting: %s" % self.TIME_ZONE)

ValueError: Incorrect timezone setting: America/NewYork



Expected results:

To have access to the webui


Additional info:

The timezone setting is incorrect in /usr/share/cobbler/web/settings.py, it should be America/New_York.  Once that is corrected the webui functions as expected.
Comment 1 Max E 2011-12-02 16:11:33 UTC 
I can also confirm that this problem occurs in RHEL 5.7 / Centos 5.7 as well with Python 2.4.  I 'fixed' the problem by changing /usr/share/cobbler/web/settings.py changing America/NewYork with America/New_York - however, to also try and get around the problems, I went to the type zones file in /usr/share/zoneinfo and went into America and performed ln -s New_York NewYork   . This seems to get around any odd problems where the reference to NewYork is still made.  A small typo - really needs to be fixed.
Comment 2 Nico Kadel-Garcia 2012-03-03 15:54:17 UTC 
It's still broken, in EPEL releases and Fedora 16. Here are my patches for the .spec file to fix this, some inappropriate reports about duplicated files in RPM compilation, and some permission errors for the web components. I'll submit separate bugs for those if necessary.
