500 Error when attempting to pull IP from DHCP
Description
*System Information Version 1.2.0
When attempting to create a new VMware instance, on the network page, the system logs show a 500 error when attempting to query an address from out DHCP server:
Started POST "/subnets/freeip" for 10.1.10.178 at 2013-10-30 12:52:44 -0400
Processing by SubnetsController#freeip as */*
Parameters: {"subnet_id"=>"1", "host_mac"=>""}
Failed to fetch a free IP from our proxy: 500 Internal Server Error
Completed 200 OK in 1052ms (ActiveRecord: 1.1ms)
On the subnet import in the smart proxy page I get another 500 internal error with the full trace of:
RestClient::InternalServerError
500 Internal Server Error
lib/proxy_api/resource.rb:70:in `get'
lib/proxy_api/dhcp.rb:12:in `subnets'
app/models/subnet.rb:115:in `import'
app/controllers/subnets_controller.rb:68:in `import'
lib/foreman/thread_session.rb:31:in `clear_thread
This just stopped working a week or two ago after functioning fine for months.

Check the proxy logs at /var/log/foreman-proxy/proxy.log on your DHCP server too, it might be a config issue. A common one is permissions being reset on either the /etc/dhcp dir, config or lease files so the proxy no longer has read access.

Thanks for the input. The proxy box was actually my domain controller and the log file was HUGE. I stopped the proxy service, renamed the log file and restarted it so that a new log file was generated - that resolved the 500 error I was getting in foreman.

Strange, perhaps check that log rotation's set up? We do package logrotate configs, so it should rotate regularly. Glad you've fixed it though!
