Description

Background

The CONTENT_ORIGIN setting is a required Pulp setting, and if unset Pulp refuses to start. This is by design.

In that situation the use receives a message that says You must specify the CONTENT_ORIGIN setting. This comes from this line in the settings file: https://github.com/pulp/pulpcore/blob/master/pulpcore/app/settings.py#L233

This error message is technically correct, but it's not very helpful.

Solution

  1. Switch the exception type to be a Django ImproperlyConfigured exception.
  2. Make the text longer. It should include:
  • That the CONTENT_ORIGIN setting is required.
  • That the Installer sets it automatically
  • It could be a permissions problem.
