Issue #2339
Updated by Ichimonji10 over 7 years ago
Pulp has two AMQP messaging buses: one for its task management system, and another for consumers. The former is mandatory for Pulp to function, and the latter is optional. Unfortunately, httpd will not start if the consumer messaging bus is unavailable. To demonstrate this issue, edit <code>/etc/pulp/server.conf</code>, edit the <code>[messaging]</code> section, and reference an unavailable <code>transport</code>. set <code>transport</code> to something invalid. For example, try this: <pre>[messaging] # transport: qpid transport: foo rabbitmq </pre> Then, restart httpd. httpd will fail to start. It seems strange that httpd will not start when this optional messaging bus cannot be contacted. This issue is especially likely to bite a user if they are attempting to switch from qpid to rabbitmq.
