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?

Wrong time zone in email alerts
by Ole Martin Bjorndalen 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

The new Alertengine sends email alerts where the Date header is in UTC instead of local time: From nav(a)gullars.uit.no Tue Jun 16 10:05:14 2009 Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2009 08:05:40 -0000 Alertengine uses Django to send mail, and Django sets the Date header like this: from email.Utils import formatdate, parseaddr, formataddr ... if 'date' not in header_names: msg['Date'] = formatdate() Calling formatdate() without arguments returns a date in UTC. So Django disregards its own time zone setting here. I'm not sure if it's done on purpose, but anyway a workaround in Alertengine would be to set the Date header explicitly to some localtime value, perhaps with: formatdate(localtime=True) or even better, use a value based on the time zone in the Django config. (Not sure how to do that.)

getBoksMacs is sometimes, but not always, segfaulting and we need some hints about debugging. >From getBoksMacs.log it seems that i it crashes early, right after reading the database: Jun 10 11:03:35 2009 getBoksData null-5-INIT ============ getBoksData starting ============ Jun 10 11:03:35 2009 getBoksData null-5-INIT Running with 12 threads.
