smoltSendProfile doesn't for F7 right now!

[Mike C]

Has anyone managed to get smoltSendProfile to send the data recently - for me
all my machines generate the data but then at the line,
Send this information to the Smolt server? (y/n) y

It just hangs - if I eventually break out with ctrl-c it just gives:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Anyone else seeing this?

It seems that in fact this is not the origin of the problem... I ran wireshark
to see what was going on, and it turns out that trying to send the smolt profile
makes a call out from port 53291 and expects an answer on that port coming back.
I think that this must be where the problem is because port 53291 inbound will
almost certainly be blocked by our institution firewall.

So I guess I am stumped.

[Mike Morraye]

Just a wild guess here.
There could be a tcp/ip error that causes a package error?
Or there could be a routing problem?

I wonder if this is related to the issue I am seeing:
On trying to simply view my profile I get in the browser:

Proxy Error

The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /show.

Reason: Error reading from remote server

This comes from the server listed at the bottom of the web page
Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat) Server at smolt.fedoraproject.org Port 80

So it seems that the problems appear to be within the smolt server.

Can anyone confirm?

This is now resolved - but I don't know why - 

First I wanted to look up the ip address of the fedora machine si I did:

$ host admin.fedoraproject.org
admin.fedoraproject.org has address 209.132.176.120
;; Warning: ID mismatch: expected ID 57542, got 53329
;; Warning: ID mismatch: expected ID 7701, got 57542

This was puzzling so...
 a little while later I did it again and

$ host admin.fedoraproject.org
admin.fedoraproject.org has address 209.132.176.120

Then I tried to do smoltSendProfile immediately after this, and it worked
just fine!

Very weird!

You could be right - I don't know if the popularity of smolt now means that
the server no longer has sufficient bandwidth capacity to handle the number
of calls into their system? Or perhaps there is a networking problem on their
server?

Either way - yes getting to see my systems on smolt, or the statistics, has
often been extremely slow.  Anyone else know what is happening on that front?

Port 80. If you are getting a traceback instead of a proper error 
message, you can file a bug report/enhancement request against smolt in 
http://bugzilla.redhat.com

Can you browse the smolt website with your web browser?  I found it
painfully slow the other day (e.g. well over half a minute to get just
the home page to show), perhaps the server is getting bogged down, or
maybe it's a routing issue between it and some ISPs.  If so, the smolt
daemon mightn't like trying to interact with it just as badly as my
browser didn't like things.

In that case I am puzzled, Rahul - I would have thought that since port 80 is
standard and I can make browser calls then this would work without a problem....

However the same is happening on two different machines at work.... I have just
sent the data from 4 machines at various relative's homes without a problem!

I will try again tomorrow and if the problem persists and it might be smolt
rather than the network then I will file a bz

I have discovered that at home smoltSendProfile does work but in my office
it does not!  It must therefore be the institution firewall blocking
the outgoing call.

I get:
Send this information to the Smolt server? (y/n) y
Error contacting Server: [Errno 12] Timeout: <urlopen error timed out>
Could not send - Exiting

Does anyone know which ports smolt uses to send the data?

Thanks
