Eucalyptus 4.4.4 Eucaconsole 502 Bad Gateway / WebOb Version Conflict

Question

I've completed a manual installation of Eucalpytus 4.4.4 but when I try to use a web browser to reach the eucaconsole (running on the same host as CLC/UFS) I get a 502 Bad Gateway Error.

I'm focusing on this error in the eucaconsole.log What does it mean and how can I update WebOb?

pkg_resources.VersionConflict: (WebOb 1.2.3 (/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages), Requirement.parse('WebOb>=1.3.1'))

Eucaconsole_startup.log:

I've edited this post to remove info and focus on the clear WebOb version error.

This issue was solved below. Adding a note that the downlevel python-webob version is actually a requirement of the midonet client installation. So if you expect to run VPCMIDO and have the midonet gateway on your CLC you'll have to run your eucaconsole elsewhere.

Answer 1

This was resolved by removing an older python-webob package to ensure that the newer python-webob1.4 package from epel was used.

Answer 2

Selinux problem. Run the following in the your CLC/UFS machine

    setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1

Its better to flush your iptables during installation.
