Hi Josh,

I've inserted the print stmt. as suggested and it looped back to the login 
screen without displaying the message.
You mentioned that this behavior would indicate a non-cookie problem?

Please advise on any next steps, if possible.

** All help is appreciated as we work to get this project into a demo-ready

Re: unable to retrieve management node information from database -- please help

2010-08-11 Thread Randy Sprague
Hi David,

After thinking about your question, I did follow the instructions in 
INSTALLATION, which said to change the admin password
from what had been set by default to one's own choice via: ' ** NOTE: Replace 
vcluserpassword with your own password!',
So, yes, I actually did change that password to one of our choosing, but not 
since then.  We were able to login using that changed 
password (after following the multi-step creation + hash procedure..) only one 
time and I used that opportunity to do some basic 
configuration.  But after logging out, I've been unable to log back in since.

A colleague suggested dropping the user table or localauth table and recreating 
them, following vcl's instructions for db installation,
but I haven't gone there yet.

Any and all suggestions or hints are welcome!


All the best,
Randy.

Randy,

In the quoted empty line above, right after the line that starts with 
'COOKIEDOMAIN' there should be an iframe that attempts to set a cookie.  
Either the copy/paste didn't include the content of the iframe, or it failed 
to set the cookie.  When you log in, VCL sets a cookie named VCLAUTH.  If it 
cannot set that, it will keep redirecting you to the login page.

You can check that the actual authentication is working or not by modifying 
.ht-inc/authentication.php.  Look for the localLogin function.  Just after the 
'//set cookie' comment add

print 'authentication ok';

and then comment out the line starting with 'header("Location:'.

Next, try logging in.  If it prints "authentication ok", then it is a cookie 
issue.  If you get the login page again, it is another issue.

Josh

Re: unable to retrieve management node information from database -- please help

2010-08-11 Thread Randy Sprague
David,

No sir, I did not.   My boss has asked me to get a VCL prototype up and running 
and linked to our already created
vmware ESX 4.1 server's datastore of 'ready-to-roll'  Windows XP Desktop images 
that have all of UCSB's licensed
lab software pre-installed on them.  I've tested those images and they are 
fully accessible via RDP from off-campus,
so I was hoping this would be fairly straightforward, but it hasn't.

How realistic is it to expect that I'd have a working prototype by 8/31?

-Randy.

Hi Randy,

After installing VLC and setting it up, have you changed the password of

Josh,

Thanks for that quick reply!  

I ran 'testsetup.php' as suggested and it came back clean, but am still unable 
to login via the management node.

Please see the 'testsetup.php' results below:

while getting VCL up and running, having them displayed makes debugging

Done

Randy,

Try loading the testsetup.php page.  It should be in the same directory as the 
index.php page.  Since you cannot log in and the management node cannot 
connect to the database, it sounds like you may have an issue with mysql.  The 
testsetup.php page will attempt to connect to mysql and report any errors if 
it cannot.

unable to retrieve management node information from database -- please help

2010-08-11 Thread Randy Sprague
I'm a vcl newbie, installed it fresh on a gentoo 2.6.24-26.64 x64 linux host 
for UCSB's College of Letters & Sciences.
Every since completing the installation of the management node, I was only able 
to login one time successfully and
get the program configured for basic operations.  Since that time, any attempt 
to login as "admin" with the proper
password, has been rejected.

vcld.log follows below:
