Hi, I am trying to get OBS up and running on a single openSUSE box for my experimentation. I have installed openSUSE 12.1 RC2, added the repositories opensSUSE:Tools and openSUSE:Tools:Unstable, and followed the installation notes from the obs-api package. The web interface gives me grief: OBS Web Interface Error: Error Details: Errorcode: 503 Message: Unable to connect to API host. (localhost) This seems to be caused by an exception reported in /srv/www/obs/api/log/production.log: [INFO |# 3133] Processing MainController#index (for 192.168.56.101 at 2011-11-13 02:52:19) [GET] [FATAL|# 3133] NoMethodError (undefined method `match' for nil:NilClass): app/controllers/application_controller.rb:188:in `extract_user' passenger (3.0.9) lib/phusion_passenger/rack/request_handler.rb:96:in `process_request' It seems to lack something when accessing the information about the user '_nobody_', which I have bootstrapped in the database; trying to fix this, I even gave this user confirmed status via the web API interface, which I can use with the browser after authentication. To even get to this point, I had to solve some issues which were not mentioned in the README.SETUP document: * The apache configuration file /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/obs.conf refers to 'api' and 'build' as locally resolvable host names. Added them as aliases in /etc/hosts. A probably better alternative is to change both URLs to localhost. * In /srv/www/obs/api/config/options.yml, I needed to enable allow_anonymous and set webui_host to the host's IP address, otherwise the API service gives a 401 authentication error to webui, resulting in the same error display. * It all may be pretty brittle with regard to the host name. I put 'lynch.private.mikhail-zabaluev.name' as the FQDN for the host in /etc/hosts, aliased to 'lynch' (and 'api' and 'build', as mentioned above). Same FQDN in /etc/{HOSTNAME,hostname}. Somehow, all userspace only retrieves the hostname as 'lynch', which produces warnings about the server certificate I have generated for the FQDN. What am I doing wrong?
