Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Dominic Cleal 2013-11-15 13:07:28 UTC 
Description of problem:
Missing out --proxy-* arguments can result in a yum_importer.json pulp plugin config file that isn't valid JSON, preventing pulp from starting up.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
MDP2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run katello-configure with --proxy-url, --proxy-port, --proxy-pass but NOT --proxy-user
2. check pulp status
3. check /var/log/pulp/pulp.log

Actual results:
2013-11-15 14:27:55,725 pulp.server.webservices.application:CRITICAL: The Pulp server failed to start due to the following reasons:
2013-11-15 14:27:55,726 pulp.server.webservices.application:ERROR:   One or more plugins failed to initialize. If a new type has been added, run pulp-manage-db to load the type into the database and restart the application. Error message: Expecting , delimiter: line 4 column 22 (char 98)

  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/json/decoder.py", line 193, in JSONObject
    raise ValueError(errmsg("Expecting , delimiter", s, end - 1))

Expected results:
pulp is running

Additional info:
The installer template doesn't check whether all of the --proxy-* parameters are present, so it will write invalid JSON:

https://github.com/Katello/katello-installer/blob/c524e2ae/modules/pulp/templates/etc/pulp/server/plugins.conf.d/yum_importer.json

Just quoting the values might be enough.
