[Bug 741661] [NEW] Web UI does not work from default install (2.1.0~bzr-2009-0ubuntu1)l

[Jamie Mack]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cobbler

On a fresh installation of Natty Alpha 3 then running apt-get install
cobbler there are several issues with the default install - the web UI
will not work.

There are several broken symlinks and Apache modules which do not get
enabled by the default install.

The following steps must be taken in order to obtain a functional web UI
at http://myhost/cobbler_web


######################################
Cobbler inital config on natty-alpha3
######################################

apt-get install cobbler
a2enmod proxy_http
cd /etc/apache2/conf.d
ln -s /etc/cobbler/cobbler_web.conf cobbler_web.conf

Edit cobbler_web.conf and comment out line 9 so it reads 
	-------------------------------------------------
	#CustomLog logs/access_log combined env=!dontlog
	-------------------------------------------------

cd /var/www
rm cobbler_webui_content
ln -s /usr/share/cobbler/webroot/cobbler_webui_content/ cobbler_webui_content

##################################
Configure cobbler to allow logins
##################################
Edit /etc/cobbler/modules.conf

Change the line which reads
	-----------------
		[authentication]
		module = authn_denyall
	-----------------

So that it actually says

	-----------------
		[authentication]
		module = authn_configfile
	-----------------

###############
Now add a user
###############
htdigest /etc/cobbler/users.digest "Cobbler" myusername


#####################
Restart all services
#####################
service apache2 stop
service cobbler stop
service apache2 start
service apache2 start


If someone can ammend the default package then I'm happy to re-test
