Description of problem: Some unknown automatic process in cobbler or cobbler-web deletes /var/www/cobbler/pub/ after installation, and any subsequent "Build ISO" action of the web interface fails because the output of this should go in this directory. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cobbler-2.0.3.1-3.fc12.noarch cobbler-web-2.0.3.1-3.fc12.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora-12 with cobbler and web interface, and configure cobbler until "cobbler check" is happy 2. click around in the web interface, observe that /var/www/cobbler/pub/ gets removed 3. click "Build ISO" in the web interface and observe failure Actual results: Action fails, /var/log/cobbler/task/*_buildiso.log contains: Thu Mar 11 18:24:32 2010 - INFO | running: mkisofs -o /var/www/cobbler/pub/generated.iso -r -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -V Cobbler\ Install -R -J -T /buildiso genisoimage: No such file or directory. Unable to open disc image file '/var/www/cobbler/pub/generated.iso'. Expected results: ISO image should be generated Additional info: See also bug #572490, reported by me today, where I mentioned the "missing" /var/www/cobbler/pub/, too.
Additional info: Using the "cobbler buildiso" command as root works as expected, because this command per default puts the iso into root's home directory instead of "/var/www/cobbler/pub/".
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
