Description Dan Callaghan 2011-10-19 04:49:57 UTC

Beaker assumes that httpd on the lab controllers will serve up distros under a path of /distros. It puts stuff like this into the kickstart:

repo --name=beaker-ResilientStorage --cost=100 --baseurl=http://lab.example.com/distros/pub/rhel/released/RHEL-6/6.1/Server/x86_64/os/ResilientStorage

This assumption is hardcoded, which is probably bad, but that's for another bug.

We should at least add something to the docs mentioning this. For example I created a file /etc/httpd/conf.d/distros.conf on the lab controller containing

Alias /distros /net/nfs.example.com
<Directory /net/nfs.example.com/pub>
    Options +Indexes
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

which did the trick.
