The location of isc-dhcpd is incorrect in sync_post_restart_services.py

[Tony Lucas]

Binary package hint: cobbler

Clean Natty install
Using cobbler 2.1.0~bzr1988-0ubuntu1

sync_post_restart_services.py is used to restart services after a 'cobbler sync'. It correctly tests the dhcpd config but then fails to restart it.

It's executing 'service dhcpd restart', but thats the Redhat location, it's 'isc-dhcp-server' in natty and 'dhcp-server' in lucid.

Same issue with apache2 vs httpd in remote.py (Should I file that seperately?)

Hi Tony,

Thank you for reporting bugs and trying to make Ubuntu better.

Could you please provide an step by step to be able to reproduce this bug?

Thank you!

Install Natty
apt-get update
apt-get install cobbler dhcp3-server

(Fix Proxy Settings for Apache)
change manage_dhcp: 0 to manage_dhcp: 1 in /etc/cobbler/settings
service cobbler restart
cobbler sync

It will fail with:

running python trigger cobbler.modules.sync_post_restart_services
running: dhcpd -t -q
received on stdout:
recieved on stderr:
running: service dhcpd restart
received on stdout:
recieved on stderr: dhcpd: unrecognized service

Exception occured: <class 'cobbler.cexceptions.CX'>
Exception value: 'cobbler trigger failed: cobbler.modules.sync_post_restart_services'

   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cobbler/utils.py", line 911, in run_triggers
    raise CX("cobbler trigger failed: %s" % m.__name__)

!!! TASK FAILED !!!

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cobbler/modules/sync_post_restart_services.py contains:

              rc = utils.subprocess_call(logger,"service dhcpd restart", shell=True)

Which thus looks for /etc/init.d/dhcpd which doesn't exist, as it's /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server

I've worked around it by symlinking the two for now.
