[chuck j]

Dear All,

We need to add perforce repository to reviewboard, when i add normal repository its gets added but when i add perforce repository will prefixing ssl: i am getting error message

"A repository was not found at the specified path."

Following steps has been done from my end.

Build P4Python with "--ssl" option providing the path of ssl libaray

Updated the p4 client to 2012.2

Anybody encountered such issues, am i missing something.

Hi Chuck,

I just wanted to give you a quick response. The person who would know the best on the project would be David, but he's out for the night (1AM here), so there will be a delay before he can respond.

One thing to verify is that, on the command line (with that version of p4), you can do:

P4PORT=ssl:blah p4 info

Also, what sort of authentication mechanism are you using for Perforce?

Christian

Since i couldn't find openssl 1.0.1 rpm, I have to manually compile and build then install it to the default path, then later i have build p4python.

root@svrrb1 p4python-2012.2.549493# python setup.py build --apidir /works/p4api-2012.2.585708/ --ssl /usr/local/
root@svrrb1 p4python-2012.2.549493# python setup.py install --apidir /works/p4api-2012.2.585708/

Assuming everything above working fine i test by providing below command line.

>>> import P4
>>> p4 = P4.P4()
>>> p4.connect()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/P4.py", line 642, in connect
    P4API.P4Adapter.connect( self )
P4.P4Exception: [P4.connect()] Connect to server failed; check $P4PORT.
SSL library must be at least version 1.0.1.

Does my P4Python is build with OpenSSL.1.0.1 libarary, What is missing in my setup?

I know this is not the right forum for above queries but this may provide some hint why adding repository to reviewboard is giving error.

Please let me know if you need any more info, log for the same.

Does my p4 info output gave expected output.

[chuck j]

Dear  All,

Its seems i have got some success while configuring ssl.

Now that our perforce server is running on ssl

I am try to add the repository, while doing so i am getting below error message.

• The specified Perforce port includes ssl:, but the p4python library was built without SSL support or the system library path is incorrect.

As we have not able to find rpm for RHEL 2.6 OpenSSL 1.0.1, we have to build openssl 1.0.1, which eventually got installed at /usr/local/ssl/bin/ /usr/local/ssl/ then we have build p4python with --ssl option.

But its seems that still reviewboard reports about the above error message. Please help us know where to add the path of new build openssl library for which reviewboard server is looking for, if some pointer will be highly appreciated.

[David Trowbridge]

Can you show me a log of exactly which commands you used to build and install p4python?

-David

[chuck j]

Thanks David for responding my email.

Here are the steps which i followed.

My Linux box has el5 has following openssl package.

openssl097a-0.9.7a-9.el5_2.1
openssl-devel-0.9.8e-12.el5
openssl097a-0.9.7a-9.el5_2.1
openssl-0.9.8e-12.el5
openssl-0.9.8e-12.el5
openssl-devel-0.9.8e-12.el5

To compile p4python, i need to have openssl 1.0.1

So i downloaded openssl 1.0.1c,
./config
make
make test
make install

Openssl gets installed at /usr/local/ssl location.

I downloaded p4python and p4api from perforce.org site.

python setup.py build --apidir /home/me/p4api --ssl /usr/local/ssl/lib
python setup.py install

Then i assume that p4python gets installed.

I tested with the steps in python prompt

import P4
p4 = P4.P4()
p4.connect()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site

-packages/P4.py", line 642, in connect
    P4API.P4Adapter.connect( self )
P4.P4Exception: [P4.connect()] Connect to server failed; check $P4PORT.
SSL library must be at least version 1.0.1.

 

Please let me know if you need any thing else.

Regards,
Chuck

[David Trowbridge]

Can you get full logs of the output of all of those steps and attach them/pastebin them somewhere?

-David

[chuck j]

Thanks David,

please find the attached log file for the below steps. do let me know if any thing is missing from my end,

-Chuck

[David Trowbridge]

Chuck,

This seems to be missing most of the p4python build. In particular I'd like to see the output (and any output files) from the configure step.

-David

[chuck j]

Hi David,

I didnt get what you need, are you saying that my p4python is not build properly. if yes then can you please provide me steps which i can ran get it done. But i have used the RELNOTES.txt present in p4python.tar to build.

Any pre-requiste i need to do to make p4python build with ssl support enable.
