NameMapper error in Cobbler

[Aaron Lippold]

Has anyone ever run into this?

[root@localhost ~]# cobbler check
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Cheetah/Compiler.py:1531: UserWarning:
You don't have the C version of NameMapper installed! I'm disabling
Cheetah's useStackFrames option as it is painfully slow with the
Python version of NameMapper. You should get a copy of Cheetah with
the compiled C version of NameMapper.
  warnings.warn(
The following potential problems were detected:
#0: since iptables may be running, ensure 69, 80, and 25151 are unblocked
#1: fencing tools were not found, and are required to use the

I can't seem to track it down.

Thanks,

Aaron

It seems that you have somehow installed a noarch version of Cheetah 
instead of a binary version.

This should not be a problem for Cheetah as part of Fedora, RHEL, or 
CentOS ... if it is, let me know, and please file a bug with that package.

Basically it's just a performance warning, as far as I can tell.

Hi,

Looks like the person building the cobbler "cobbler" profile installed
the i386 packages on the x86_64 arch.

I will switch that and that should fix the issue.

You wouldn't have a ks for a cobbler appliance already would you?

Thanks,

Aaron

No, can't say I do.   /etc/cobbler/settings and (to a lesser extent) 
/etc/cobbler/modules.conf is always going to be site-specific so I'm not 
sure what that would do or mean.

It's just "yum install cobbler" and so on.

Hi,

We are building a cobbler profile so we can provision a cobbler server.

The person working on the profile wget'd the i386 packages, however,
we are installing onto a x86_64 arch.

I reinstalled the compiled packages and the error went away.

I will have to modify the profile to account for arch differences.

Sorry for the stupid question :)

Yours,

Aaron

Sure, cobblering the cobbler :)

Generally yum takes care of this, so it's not a problem, not something 
we'd need an appliance for anyway.

Typically when I think appliance, I think of demoware that is 
notoriously hard to set up, so that it needs a working "out of the box" 
demo that folks can download
and run with.  (Usually these are database apps, or things that need app 
server configuration).

Cobbler is mostly a matter of yum install + tweaking a couple config 
files, so I don't see a need for one.

(You could also lay down the cobbler configuration files with puppet if 
you wanted to, or another CMS, still using cobbler for the OS install)
