Hello, I just installed Nav 3.5.3 from source on a Debian 5 (Lenny), following the steps described in http://metanav.uninett.no/installing_from_source_on_debian. The problem is that when I try to log in I get the following error: DocumentRoot: '/usr/local/nav/apache/webroot' URI: '/index/login' Location: None Directory: '/usr/local/nav/apache/webroot/' Filename: '/usr/local/nav/apache/webroot/index.py' PathInfo: '/login' Phase: 'PythonHandler' Handler: 'mod_python.publisher' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mod_python/importer.py", line 1537, in HandlerDispatch default=default_handler, arg=req, silent=hlist.silent) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mod_python/importer.py", line 1229, in _process_target result = _execute_target(config, req, object, arg) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mod_python/importer.py", line 1128, in _execute_target result = object(arg) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mod_python/publisher.py", line 213, in handler published = publish_object(req, object) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mod_python/publisher.py", line 425, in publish_object return publish_object(req,util.apply_fs_data(object, req.form, req=req)) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mod_python/util.py", line 554, in apply_fs_data return object(**args) File "/usr/local/nav/apache/webroot/index.py", line 194, in login authenticated = account.authenticate(password) File "/usr/local/nav/lib/python/nav/db/navprofiles.py", line 119, in authenticate return stored_hash.verify(password) File "/usr/local/nav/lib/python/nav/pwhash.py", line 116, in verify password=password) File "/usr/local/nav/lib/python/nav/pwhash.py", line 80, in __init__ self.update(password) File "/usr/local/nav/lib/python/nav/pwhash.py", line 96, in update hasher = known_methods[self.method].new(password + self.salt) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/hashlib.py", line 98, in __hash_new return __get_builtin_constructor(name)(string) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/hashlib.py", line 77, in __get_builtin_constructor raise ValueError, "unsupported hash type" ValueError: unsupported hash type Any clues on this?

How does NAV use snmp read and write communities when both are present ?
by Gro-Anita Hillestad Vindheim 28 Mai '09

A very long subject, repeated here: How does NAV use snmp read and write communities when both are present ? Untill now, we have only used snmp read on our core boxes. We are going to deploy vlanAdmin on some core boxes, and thus we need to register snmp write communities for these. We'll use snmpview-functionality to control the permission for the snmp write community. Will this affect the NAV data collection in any way, or does all collection use snmp read even with snmp write present? (I think NAV uses snmp read, and that everything will work fine, I just have to check... ) Gro-Anita

I'm now trying to install NAV on a server running Ubuntu 6.06.2 (2.6.15-54-amd64-server), following the procedure found here: http://metanav.uninett.no/installing_from_source_on_debian When running the 'make' command I get the following result: Cheetah.Parser.ParseError: Expected assignment operator at line 99, column 22 in file AcctChartsTemplate.tmpl Line|Line contents ----|------------------------------------------------------------- 96 | #if type($column) == type('') 97 | <th>$column</th> 98 | #else 99 | #set $title, $key = $column ^ 100 | #if $key == $sort 101 | <th><a href="?sort=-$key">$title</a></th> 102 | #else make[2]: *** [AcctChartsTemplate.py] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/janegils/nav-3.5.2/subsystem/radius/src' make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/janegils/nav-3.5.2/subsystem/radius' make: *** [all] Error 1 Any idea what the problem is? Is the Ubuntu installlation too old? Jan Egil
