Hi List,
I upgraded my 3.5.4 installation of NAV to the latest Beta (3.6.0b4) and ran into the error posted below. I configured NAV from scratch, updated the Database with the pgsql scripts and everything seems to be fine: I can login using a LDAP backend, see the welcome page and user information etc - but as soon as I click on 'Toolbox' I receive an error message.
It thought it might be related to the 'ForgetSQL thing' but according to this list, ForgetSQL is not a requirement any more (starting with 3.6) - or am I wrong on this one?
My system is Ubuntu 9.04, running with Python 2.5.4 and 2.6.2 installed. ForgetSQL is 0.5.1.

forgetSQL is no longer used by NAV, correct.
File "/usr/local/nav/lib/python/nav/auth.py", line 58, in hasPrivilege raise "user parameter is of invalid type %s" % type(user)

This is Python 2.6 complaining (this was deprecated in 2.5, but removed entirely from 2.6, hence the error). The referenced code, however, is not present in NAV 3.6.0b4, which leads me to think:
1. Some old, deprecated modules might be still be around in your file system. Did you delete all the ones specified in the release notes?
2. Apache/mod_python may in part still be serving old code. Please restart Apache after upgrading.
Any help would be appreciated!
Hope this helps :)

oops, I did a make install and did not move the old /usr/local/nav folder out of the way. I did that now, replaced the fresh etc-folder with the backuped-one but now I cannot start nav alltogether:
root@dkvfs033:/usr/local/nav# nav start /usr/local/nav/lib/python/nav/models/profiles.py:23: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead import md5 Starting: cricket logengine mactrace maintengine networkDiscovery thresholdMon Failed: alertengine eventengine getDeviceData ipdevpoll pping servicemon smsd snmptrapd
Nothing in the var/log folder whatsoever :(
- Apache/mod_python may in part still be serving old code. Please restart
Apache after upgrading.
Did that several times already :)
Any help would be appreciated!

By "nothing", do you mean that the log files are empty, or that there are no log files at all in /usr/local/nav/var/log/ ? Please make sure NAV processes has the necessary write permissions in /usr/local/nav/var (as it says in the install guide).
