[Bug 891527] [NEW] cobblerd fails to start: NoSectionError

[Adam Gandelman]

Public bug reported:

On 12.04 with cobbler 2.2.2-0ubuntu1 on 12.04, package installs fine but
upstart cannot start cobblerd.  The following traceback occurs when
attempting to start manually:

ubuntu at domU-12-31-39-16-39-C3:~$ sudo cobblerd -F
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/cobblerd", line 76, in main
    api = cobbler_api.BootAPI(is_cobblerd=True)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cobbler/api.py", line 127, in __init__
    module_loader.load_modules()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cobbler/module_loader.py", line 62, in load_modules
    blip =  __import__("modules.%s" % ( modname), globals(), locals(), [modname])
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cobbler/modules/serializer_mongodb.py", line 53, in <module>
    host = cp.get("connection","host")
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ConfigParser.py", line 599, in get
    raise NoSectionError(section)
NoSectionError: No section: 'connection'


It appears the serializer_mongodb module is attempting to load module-specific config from /etc/cobbler/mongodb.conf.  This file is shipped in the upstream cobbler source tree but not installed by package with the rest of the config.  Importing the file manually resolves the issue.
