Created attachment 614051 [details] patch to describe what to change in httpd.conf for the broker Since fedora 18 use httpd 2.4, the configuration used by openshift origin do not work. Here is a preliminary patch against the installed httpd.conf file to make it start ( so far, I didn't test rhc yet ), so you do not have to search for too long what to add and what is missing. I do not know how to proceed to have a clean configuration file that will run on F18 and RHEL6, since there is slight difference in apache version making thing a little bit harder.
In fact, that's even worst, the broker listen only on http, while rhc does https by default, and only https, hardcoded in some place ( see get_cartridges_list in /usr/share/gems/gems/rhc-0.95.14/lib/rhc-common.rb ). So if the goal is to have the broker working by default, i would suggest to generate a proper certificate and use it in httpd.conf
So, after reading the code, I tried with curl : curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/broker/cartlist this didn't work, with the following error : [Tue Sep 18 17:50:49.988041 2012] [core:crit] [pid 8891] [client 127.0.0.1:55734] AH00025: configuration error: couldn't check user: / to solve that, you need to add : LoadModule authz_core_module modules/mod_authz_core.so
I'm looking, and I'm not seeing what the proper Fedora/EPEL way is for adding modules to httpd.conf. Should be put it in as some type of %post install script, or is it just something that you put into the documentation. Thoughts, opinions, links?
I would have placed that in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ , but that's for the httpd.conf used by apache httpd. If you refer to comment #1, I think the best would be to modify upstream httpd.conf ( the one used for broker ), and generate a dummy cert in %post. I know that we used to have a macro for that in mandriva, not sure if there is one for Fedora.
httpd 2.4 configurations addressed and fixed in 1.4.1 broker.
