Missing boincserver.httpd.conf in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled

[Germano0]

Today I runned boinc-server-test docker container but everytime I tried to open http://127.0.0.1/boincserver I got a "not found" error.
The reason was the missing boincserver.httpd.conf in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
I solved running the command
# ln -s /home/boincadm/project/boincserver.httpd.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/boincserver.httpd.conf
inside the container

Interesting. I'm not sure what would cause that. Can you try running the following to see if the issue still happens?

git clone https://github.com/BOINC/boinc-server-test.git
cd boinc-server-test/manage
ansible-playbook -i hosts stop_and_remove.yml
ansible-playbook -i hosts build.yml
ansible-playbook -i hosts start.yml

The extra step to stop_and_remove is to make sure that there isn't something left over from a previous run.

I am still experiencing the problem

# pwd
/home/user/boinc-server-test/manage
# ansible-playbook -i hosts stop_and_remove.yml
# docker system prune -a
# cd /home/user/
# rm -rf boinc-server-test
$ git clone https://github.com/BOINC/boinc-server-test.git
# cd boinc-server-test/manage/
# ansible-playbook -i hosts build.yml
# ansible-playbook -i hosts start.yml
# docker exec -it cb1203cd25e3  bash
# ls /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
000-default.conf

New tests runned on brand new virtual machines, that add more details to the situation:

CentOS 7 with upstream docker version 18.06.1 works perfectly and the file boincserver.httpd.conf is in the folder /etc/apache2/sites-enabled

Fedora 28 [1] with upstream docker during # ansible-playbook -i hosts start.yml returns

TASK [start-containers : Copy mysql port opening file to directory] *************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "checksum": "79fcf9b19ddc1408272eb01131f7ac96042e42c7", "msg": "Aborting, target uses selinux but python bindings (libselinux-python) aren't installed!"}                                                                                                                                                                               
        to retry, use: --limit @/home/a/boinc-server-test/manage/start.retry

IMHO It looks like our workflow is very sensible to host operating system changes. Personally, I will continue using mainly Fedora 29 with moby-engine that runs fine, requiring only the little workaround for boincserver.httpd.conf file

[1]: Upstream docker is not yet available on Fedora 29, so I used Fedora 28. Fedora 28 is still maintained together with 29 version.

Thanks for that additional information. I'm testing on RHEL 7 Workstation and wasn't able to reproduce but with this additional information I should be able to.

If I understand you correctly you are fine on Fedora 29 and CentOS 7 but only hitting this issue on Fedora 28. Is this a blocker for you?

I will test using a fedora 28 virtual machine and try to fix the issue. I may not get to it until tomorrow though.

Is this a blocker for you?

I can perfectly work with F29 with my workaround and CentOS 7 with upstream docker.

I may not get to it until tomorrow though.

Thank you, speaking about myself, I have no urgency about having this fixed so immediately.
Have a nice day!
