Route issue '/ipa/modern_ui'

[irtaza9]

I deployed the web-ui but it is not showing the page.

Can you give more details on how you have deployed the app? It is supposed to be running on IPA server, not just on a random server you have.

Hello @irtaza9 . I guess that you followed the deployment instructions defined here, but it can be a good idea to double check it in case there is something expected or there is some issue to fix from our side. In a nutshell, those steps are:

• Install vagrant dependencies
• Do vagrant up to launch the environment
• Add the IP into /etc/hosts
• Start the nodejs environment by running npm run start

As @abbra already mentioned above, this is supposed to work in IPA environments only. Alternatively, you can reproduce the same steps to try it in your local and check how it would look.

what is going on? previously i just run the project on a vm and run the project with using vegrant up

@irtaza9 If I understood correctly, the first time it worked but not the second one. Is that correct?

Which are the parameters and exact steps that you are using? Are you executing vagrant up in a VM in both cases?

I recommend you to first try it in your local (not using any VM) to check if it is working fine. As vagrant is using libvirt library this sometimes can lead to an error if versions are not compatible. Check this and this.

Alternatively, you can also try to check which version of libvirt are you using (rpm -qa 'libvirt*'. In my case I'm using libvirt-10.6.0-6.fc41.x86_64) and do a quick reinstall. After that, try again in a clean environment.

I am using ubuntu via wsl on windows. the first time it worked without doing vagrat up but then app was not accessible. Then i did vagrant up and i faced the above shared error.

What do you mean by "first time it worked"? Were you able to actually see the modern WebUI the first time? Or it was not accessible at any point?

It would be very useful if you could describe the exact steps that you followed to configure and run everything, not only for the webui itself but also for your VM. This would help us understand better and maybe reproduce the issue.

FWIW, doing vagrant up is needed because the modern WebUI needs to be installed alongside a FreeIPA client. As described in the Development environment docs:

This project relies on Vagrant to set-up a virtual machine with FreeIPA installed and configured.

I'm not sure if your Ubuntu VM could need a specific vagrant configuration for which you'd need to modify the Vagrantfile included in the project repository. As an alternative, you can try to use a Fedora VM instead of an Ubuntu one.
