#5832 ipa-ca-install points to non-existing log files
Opened 7 years ago by tscherf. Modified 7 years ago

When running ipa-ca-install on a replica, the installer points to non-existing log files in case the installation fails:

# ipa-ca-install ...
ipa.ipaserver.install.cainstance.CAInstance: CRITICAL Failed to configure CA instance: Command ''/usr/sbin/pkispawn' '-s' 'CA' '-f' '/tmp/tmpjXBYmy'' returned non-zero exit status 1
ipa.ipaserver.install.cainstance.CAInstance: CRITICAL See the installation logs and the following files/directories for more information:
ipa.ipaserver.install.cainstance.CAInstance: CRITICAL   /var/log/pki-ca-install.log
ipa.ipaserver.install.cainstance.CAInstance: CRITICAL   /var/log/pki/pki-tomcat

The files /var/log/pki-ca-install.log and /var/log/pki/pki-tomcat doesn't exist. Instead we have /var/log/ipareplica-ca-install.log which should be printed out on stderr.


sorry for the bad formatting but I think you got the point.

TOMCAT_TOPLEVEL_DIR = "/var/log/pki/pki-tomcat"

There is quite a lot of logs in the pki directory. The installer should mention the most interesting ones, namely:

  • /var/log/pki/pki-ca-spawn-$timestamp.log
  • /var/log/pki/pki-tomcat/ca/debug
  • /var/log/pki/pki-tomcat/ca/selftest.log
  • journalctl -u pki-tomcatd@pki-tomcat.service
