[Engine-devel] Error on starting webadmin

[Moti Asayag]

Hi,

I get the following error when trying to connect to webadmin:

2012-12-13 11:57:06,689 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[default-host].[/webadmin].[WebAdminDynamicHosting]] (http--0.0.0.0-8700-1) Servlet.service() for servlet WebAdminDynamicHosting threw exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The property "ENGINE_USR" doesn't have a value.

It caused by the PluginDataManager instantiation which requires several variables to be defined.

In order to by pass those errors do:
1. create a file /usr/share/ovirt-engine/conf/engine.conf.defaults
2. Add the following properties to the file:
ENGINE_USR=username
ENGINE_ETC=/etc/ovirt-engine
3. restart Jboss

Regards,
Moti
