Dear Erwin,
Your reply is much appreciated ; apologies for not responding sooner, as
I was busy examining some alternative Dogtag paths (without success, see
below).

Hi Didier,
I am not familiar with Red Hat. I assumed Red Hat has some
similarities with Fedora 11.
If you do not mind, can you provide me with the last 20 lines of your
/var/log/pki-ca-install.... file? (Assuming you are using default file
location).
One other useful log is your directory server installation log. Do
you successfully configure your directory server?
Could you also make sure that you do not mix up your dogtag CS versions.
Another pointer, when you run your pkicreate, make sure that your
fedora directory serve is running.
(/etc/init.d/dirsrv status)
If the directory server is not running, you want to start it first;
/etc/init.d/dirsrv start.
Thank you for the advice.
1. Concerning the directory server : at this stage, the DS is not
needed, as the connection to the DS is defined in the Installation
Wizard (which I am unable to start).
2. I would not mind providing you with logfiles, but I am comparing with
a pristine (and successful) installation of Dogtag on a fresh Fedora12
virtual machine, and there are no discernible differences.
3. My next step was to disable the troublesome HTTPS/SSL completely, by
removing the https references from /etc/pki-ca/server.xml.
While this works for Fedora12 (the Installation Wizard can be reached on
http://:9445 instead of https://:9445), I only had partial success with
RHEL5 : all server.xml-defined ports are now initialized (9180, 9443,
9444, 9445, 9701), but trying to access the Installation Wizard on
http://:9445 now yields an error page (HTTP Status 500 : "The server
encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling
the request.").
Needless to say, the requested file
/var/lib/pki-ca/webapps/ca/admin/console/login.vm (from the
dogtag-pki-common-ui-1.3.1-1.el5 rpm) is present on the system.
(All this was tested with both Sun Java and OpenJDK.)
4. The problem as described in [3.] leads me to believe that DogTag is
completely borked on RHEL5/CentOS5. I filed a bugzilla report for the
SSL problem (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=568787) and I
will file another one for problem [3.].
However, there are dependency problems in EPEL5 too
(
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=566342 , comment #16). The
bugzilla entries have been filed 14 days ago, unfortunately without any
reply from the developers.
This, combined with the very low traffic on pki-users (not to mention
pki-devel) makes me wonder what the ambitions for DogTag are.
Maybe I need to crosspost to centos-devel, but I am not too sure whether
they care for packages originating from EPEL ...
Best regards,
Didier
