I raising the severity to critical on this defect. If system is rebooted then apache services are not restarted thus breaking the install server. I believe that this defect should be raised to be a blocker prior to release. -bash-3.2# installadm create-service -n Test1 -s /var/tmp/AI/images/ai-20081104-1316.iso /var/tmp/AI/targets/ai-20081104-1316 Setting up the target image at /var/tmp/AI/targets/ai-20081104-1316 ...

This seems pretty severe that once an A/I install server is rebooted the admin must either create a new service or understand how to manually start the Apache image server (on top of running installadm start <service> for each service on the machine). I agree we should look at this as a blocker.
I agree this is pretty bad - in fact, for some reason I've not been able to successfully get http://localhost:5555 to work. What I'd *expect* to see is that the moment installadm create-service successfully finishes, I could launch my browser at localhost:5555. As it stands now, that doesn't seem to work correctly, and only http://localhost:46501 seems to work (though obviously breaks because it can't find default.xml due to ai-httpd.conf not being picked up with correct document root. Would be nice to see this working better out of the box.
Hi Glynn, I agree this should work better out of the box. However, you may have hit another bug. Why is the server at 46501 failing to find default.xml do you think? It's not an Apache server and doesn't use an httpd.conf file. It shouldn't be looking in /var/ai/46501/AI_data/ for default.xml. Is that not there? Thank you, Clay
Clay: looks like it's there - just when I use Firefox to open it, I get a confusing message about it not being in /tmp. Saving it to the filesystem works, so ignore my previous comment.
It is a critical bug but it is too risky to fix at this time for 2008.11 release. Manual workaround is required to restore the services. This will be documented in release notes and fixed after November release. Workaround: - Restart the Apache web server as follows # /usr/apache/2.2/bin/apachectl -f /var/installadm/ai-webserver/ai-httpd.conf -k start - Get the configured services from /var/installadm/service_data. For example, it may look like: # cat /var/installadm/service_data new1;/tmp/directory/test1;new1;aiwebserver=kumbam:46501 _install_service_46501;/tmp/target/test1;_install_service_46501;aiwebserver=kumbam:46501 The first parameter is the name of the service. Start each service using the installadm start command as follows: #installadm start new1 #installadm start _install_service_46501
I'll create a new service system/install/server.xml to installadm start the services that are designated as "on" in the service data file during the start method. The stop method will bring down the service gracefully but not set the status to off. For maintenance reasons, this may involve a new subcommand or switch to the installadm stop subcommand.
