perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Johann Hugo <>]

Hi

I'm trying to get a new PWA server running, but no success. Some of the links in the documentation don't work.

https://docs.perfsonar.net/pwa_install_docker.html

 - wget https://github.com/perfsonar/psconfig-web/raw/master/deploy/docker/pwa.sample.tar.gz

https://docs.perfsonar.net/pwa_docker_create.html

- wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/perfsonar/psconfig-web/master/deploy/docker/docker-compose.yml

https://docs.perfsonar.net/pwa_install_rpm.html

- rpm -hUv http://software.internet2.edu/rpms/el7/x86_64/latest/packages/perfSONAR-repo-0.10-1.noarch.rpm

On https://docs.perfsonar.net/pwa_install_rpm.html , this paragraph seems to be misplaced:

- Before you start the docker engine, you might want to add any VM specific configuration. For example, your VM might be using /usr/local as a primary partition for your VM.

I've made some progress by installing PWA using RPM packages. 

- systemctl status httpd perfsonar-psconfig-web-admin-* shows all the daemons are up and running (httpd was not enabled by default). 

- The only changes I made to the default configs was changing the hostname in /etc/perfsonar/psconfig-web/index.js and /etc/perfsonar/psconfig-web/auth/index.js.

 - I've also added a local PWA user with super-admin rights using "pwa_auth useradd" + "pwa_auth modscope". 

http://pwa-test.sanren.ac.za/ loads the default Apache html page and http://pwa-test.sanren.ac.za/pwa/pub gives a Not Found. 

- Do I need to configure anything in the pwa*.conf files in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ 

- Where can I view the log files for PWA

Regards

Johann
