Description of problem: When managing dhcp server from cobbler, it tries to restart the service using the old sysv script (/etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcp) which is no longer installed with dhcp-4.2.1-9.P1.fc15. This makes cobbler synchronization to fail. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cobbler-2.0.11-2.fc15.noarch How reproducible: cobbler sync Steps to Reproduce: 1. configure cobbler to manage dhcp 2. cobbler sync 3. Actual results: ... running: /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd restart received on stdout: received on stderr: /bin/sh: /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd: No such file or directory Exception occured: <class 'cobbler.cexceptions.CX'> ... Expected results: Cobbler should restart the service properly, either using systemd commands or with dhcp script if it was distributed with dhcp server package. Additional info:
As a temporary fix, you can (as root), do this: touch /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd chmod a+x /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd cobbler sync Only a workaround until this bug is addressed.
Still not fixed in FC16 cobbler-2.0.11-3.fc16.noarch
Created attachment 561235 [details] dummy /etc/init.d/dhcpd that invokes /bin/systemctl better workaround -- actually invokes systemctl for dhcpd.service
Sorry about late answer... I was using the workaround Alan proposed but I should say if using SELinux the init script needs to be properly labelled: chcon system_u:object_r:dhcpd_initrc_exec_t:s0 /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd

*** Bug 743868 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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
actually, you can fix this quite easily. create a temp folder mkdir ~/123 cd /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cobbler/modules/ cp sync_post_restart_services.py ~/123/ mv sync_post_restart_services.py sync_post_restart_services.py.original mv sync_post_restart_services.pyo sync_post_restart_services.pyo.original mv sync_post_restart_services.pyc sync_post_restart_services.pyc.original cd ~/123 vim sync_post_restart_services.py *EDIT Line number 44 ==>> FROM rc = utils.subprocess_call(logger,"/etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd restart", shell=True) ==>> TO rc = utils.subprocess_call(logger,"/bin/systemctl restart dhcpd", shell=True) then save Now compile files: python -m compileall * python -O -m compileall * ls command should show you that you got 3 new proper files: [root@space01 123]# ls sync_post_restart_services.py sync_post_restart_services.pyc sync_post_restart_services.pyo now copy them over to where they should be: cd /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cobbler/modules/ cp ~/123/* .
