[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

I believe this should be fixed now, could you re-test?

[rowez (info-rowez)]

The commando's to test:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get purge cobbler && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get install && sudo apt-get install cobbler && sudo apt-get install cobbler-web

Note: sudo apt-get install cobbler will not install cobbler-web to!

In /var/log/apach2/error.log (see attachment):

Log give's me /var/www/cobbler/srv is missing. The maps /var/www /[cobbler, cobbler_webui_content] are symlinks to /usr/share/cobbler/webroot. Not to /srv/www!

Could this be fixed first!

Have not get it running on any way!
