perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

Andy,

Does this impact the Maddash dashboards too?  My dashboard is all orange and I get HTTP 404 Not Found on cell mouse overs.

Thanks,

George

Subject: [perfsonar-user] Fix for perl client connection issue

All,

RPMs have been uploaded that address an issue where HTTPS connections made by various perfSONAR perl clients were failing due to an updated third-party library. This includes the Toolkit test listing not displaying as well as pSConfig agents failing to create any new tasks.

The issue arose in the past day when the EPEL yum repo added a new perl-Mojolicious package (the package perfSONAR uses many places for http clients). This update required a version of perl-IO-Socket-SSL newer than what is in the main CentOS repos as well as some other small changes in its use. If you had auto-updates enabled, you may have gotten this package and it caused some of the issues described above. The new perfSONAR 4.1.4 packages that have been uploaded should fix these issues.  

Originally we had planned to do a 4.1.4 release in a few weeks but due to the critical nature of this issue we have pushed out 4.1.4 now and will do a 4.1.5 in the timeframe we planned to do 4.1.4 with the remainder of the changes we had hoped to include. We will send out official release notes and new ISO images tomorrow for 4.1.4, but wanted to let everyone know the RPMs are available for those encountering issues. 

Thanks,

Andy
