Re: [cobbler-devel] Struggling to get cobbler_web working from the github source

Nevermind! After tracing through with pdb, it looks like the settings.py file under /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cobbler/web/settings.py was the one that needed to be edited. I'm up and running now.

Subject: Struggling to get cobbler_web working from the github source
I'm trying to get a cobbler development environment setup on CentOS, using the following document:
https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/blob/master/docs/developer-guide.rst
I've cloned down the repository from github: https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler
I've installed the necessary packages noted in the document above, and do a "make install". This gets cobblerd up and running.
But, I also want to get cobbler_web going as well, and it appears to be only partially configured from these steps. I can see the WSGI file has been put down, and Apache has been configured, but it doesn't look like any of the Django-specific files have been installed under /usr/share/cobbler/web. When I attempt to access http://127.0.0.1/cobbler_web, I get an error in the Apache logs saying "The SECRET_KEY settings must not be empty". I tried installing Django manually (pip install Django), and copying the settings.py file under /usr/share/cobbler/web, but that didn't get rid of the error. I also tried setting the SECRET KEY in the global Django settings file under /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Django/conf/. No joy.
I notice when trying to install from the github source, my /usr/share/cobbler/web directory only has the following files:
cobbler.wsgi templates/
But when installing from my distro's RPMs, I see the following:
cobbler_web cobbler.wsgi __init__.py manage.py settings.py urls.py
I do see these files in the github repo, but it doesn't look like they're put into the correct place by the setup. I feel like I'm missing some step that configures the rest of cobbler_web. Is anyone familiar with the situation I'm in?
