perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[José Patiño <>]

Thanks Verena

I've checked the information from BugZilla and I am trying to follow instructions provided there in spite of packages attached  and instructions are for a RedHat enviroment.

I've installed rpm tool on Ubuntu 7.10 and, when I execute, for example, the following command:

#rpm -i oppd-mp-bwctl-0.5-RC4.noarch.rpm

I have the following message about several failures on some dependences like this:

error: Dependencias fallidas:
        perl(Carp) se necesita por oppd-mp-bwctl-0.5-RC4.noarch
        perl(Data::Dumper) se necesita por oppd-mp-bwctl-0.5-RC4.noarch
        perl(IO::Pty) se necesita por oppd-mp-bwctl-0.5-RC4.noarch
        perl(IO::Tty) >= 1.02 se necesita por oppd-mp-bwctl-0.5-RC4.noarch
        perl(IPC::Run) se necesita por oppd-mp-bwctl-0.5-RC4.noarch
        perl(perfSONAR) se necesita por oppd-mp-bwctl-0.5-RC4.noarch
        perl(perfSONAR) >= 0.4 se necesita por oppd-mp-bwctl-0.5-RC4.noarch
        perl(strict) se necesita por oppd-mp-bwctl-0.5-RC4.noarch
        perl(vars) se necesita por oppd-mp-bwctl-0.5-RC4.noarch
        perl(warnings) se necesita por oppd-mp-bwctl-0.5-RC4.noarch

I've installed (or reinstalled) all of these perl modules manually or using cpan command and the message is the same when I've repeated rpm command.. : ((

Is there any specific requirement regarding Perl version needed here??, Becuase I have Perl 5.8.8-7 on my server, but, when perl(warnings) was installed, a warning about an old installation appears on messages during installation process of "kurile-1.13_0.tar.gz" and I am sure that and old version of Perl was installed (version 5.1.0) to get support to this module.

Well, I think I need these packages provided on Bugzilla but on ".deb" or in ".tar.gz" format, in order to have more options to install this PerfSonar module. Could you help me with that?.

Thanks in Advance for your help.

Hello Jose,

This problem is a known issue with the WebAdmin for BWCTL MP, see: 
https://bugzilla.perfsonar.net/show_bug.cgi?id=481

Moreover, the installation guide unfortunately is wrong here, as there is no 
tomcat used for BWCTL MP and its WebAdmin. There is a new version of the 
guide and a new release candidate (for the next MDM Release 3.1) for BWCTL 
MP, fixing this.

However, if you feel it necessary to provide a patch for 3.0, let me know, and 
I can provide you a fix as soon as possible.

Regards,
Verena

Correction:

http://localhost:8080/bwctl/WebAdmin/index.html (Tomcat path).

Thanks.

Hi,

My name is Jose Patino and I am currently working in a project to
install PerfSonar on CLARA Network. I am installing last release of
PerfSonar (perfSONAR MDM 3.0) using Administrator's Guide provided by
GEANT2. The process had been a relative success, because instalation
of prerequisites and some modules was successful (like LS, AS, RRD MA)
but I am having a lot of issues to install BWCTL MP service. The main
issue here is I am unable to get WebAdmin page of BWCTL accesible
through Tomcat instalation.

Using instructions provided by that guide, to verify if installation
was right I should access WebAdmin pages on the following path:

http://localhost:8080/bwctl/WebAdmin.html (Tomcat path).

But is happening that after instalation of debian packages (yes..I am
trying to install PS in a server with Ubuntu 7.10) and stopping and
starting Apache, WebAdmin pages only are accesed on the following path:

http://localhost/html/WebAdmin/index.html (Apache path)

Functionalities on WebAdmin page are limited to specify path of bwctl
command and to add this services to a LS. if I select option "yes", a
cgi script is executed and a web page named "finish.pl" appears with a
message with information of BWCTL MP Service and data about contact
and organization. This information is not possible to be modified on
Web. The only way is editing "Wizard" file on same path of index.html.

"perfsonar.conf" file was modified with this information.

If I am not wrong, I should have the same menu and options I have when
aceess to WebAdmin page of ther PS services, like AS, with Basic and
Advanced Configurations options. With these options, I could modify
missing information on WeAdmin page of BWCTL MP service.

I've reviewed all documentation and I haven't found any tip or advice
about how enable WebAdmin properly. I am presumming that I need to
work on Apache -- Tomcat integration but I am not sure if this is the
way to achieve this goal.

I need some advice from people who had installed BWCTL MP service in
order to check if is there are any other steps to perform before or
after installation to achieve this goal.

Thanks in advance for all your help and support.
