Ovirt devel - May 2008 - [Fwd: Re: Problem with developer installation]

Hi Susan,

I haven't tried to start any additional nodes yet to keep the possible
problem sources limited. After taking a closer look at the init scripts and
logfiles and doing some strace'ing it looks like I'm missing the file
/var/kerberos/krb5kdc/principal which seems to be vital for the kerberos
tools. Not sure why this isn't there and the first-run scripts don't
regenerate the kerberos stuff either so that explains why the authorization
fails.

I wonder why the kerberos subsystem got screwed up because I followed the
instruction exactly and got no errors during the installation. Everything
looked fine until I actually ran the appliance.

Regards,
   Dennis

Sorry Dennis, can't help you with that. If you jump onto the #ovirt 
chat  you may find someone who can help you now, otherwise someone will 
respond when the US based developers come back online in their morning.

Thanks
Susan

I guess ipa-server-install is failing on first boot, check
/var/log/ipaserver-install.log in the appliance.
I'm looking at this issue now.
