Ovirt devel - Apr 2009 - ovirt - web gui

Hello,

last week I had an issue with the Kerberos authentication. Since then I
have tested a lot, deleted the whole thing, re-started, etc. Made some
progress, the Kerberos issue is gone. I'd like to document this and
share the info here. But first I want to be sure, I can reproduce it
again and see if my local change really works all the time.

Today I faced a new problem.

When I connect with the web browser to
http://management.priv.ovirt.org/ovirt, login in, I see the dashboard.
So far so good. However, when I click on "default", I get re-directed
to
the dashboard, the "default" icon+text as well as the "Smart
Pools"
icon+text disappears. Clicking again on Dashboard, gives me the icons back.

Interestingly the "Smart Pools" menu works. I can add another smart
pool, click on "Add Host" and I can add my node (physical..). This
time
it is shown as "available(enabled)".

Clicking on this host after having it added to my Smart Pool, gives me a
 "404 Not Found" pop-up.

Does anybody have an idea why the 'default' pool disappears/never shows
when clicking on the link?

Last week when I had the Kerberos problem, the "default" pool worked
without problems.

I hope that you don't mind that I ask here on this list. I know it is a
devel list not a users list. But I hope that some users feedback is
useful for you as well.

Thanks a lot and regards,

Ingmar

Hi Ingmar, please feel free to post user questions here as we have no
users list at the moment (hmm, I should add one).

By default with ovirt-0.98, you have to use https to access the UI,
and there is an automatic redirect from
http://<management-server-URL>/ovirt to
https://<management-server-URL>/ovirt/login. It's possible that is the
problem you are having. Is it possible your apache isn't configured
correctly for ssl?

Take care,

Hello Ingmar

i wasn't subscribed so i hope it will continue on the thread.

Are you trying to login with admin?
Try to login with ovirtadmin same password as admin if you have followed
the install instructions.

As admin you do not see everything.

I had the same problem end it took me 2 hours to find that!

With kind regards
