Please disregard my previous three messages.
This bug applies to starting the xend daemon and bug 588888 applied to getting
the same error: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'rfind' when calling xm
create (after xend is already running). My mistake and sorry for the noise on
messages #10/15/20.
Relevant information to this bug is the patch does resolve the issue in
xen-utils-4.0 (4.0.1~rc6-1) aswell! After applying the patch, which is not
applied in the package: xen-utils-4.0 (4.0.1~rc6-1) I was able to start the
xend daemon on my Debian Squeeze AMD64 system without getting the error:
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'rfind'.
Works when (in xend-config.sxp):
1) The configuration is the default in xen-utils-4.0 (4.0.1~rc6-1).
2) After changing:
#(xend-tcp-xmlrpc-server no)
(xend-tcp-xmlrpc-server yes)
Without further configuring
# Address and port xend should use for the legacy TCP XMLRPC interface,
# if xend-tcp-xmlrpc-server is set.
#(xend-tcp-xmlrpc-server-address 'localhost')
#(xend-tcp-xmlrpc-server-port 8006)
# SSL key and certificate to use for the legacy TCP XMLRPC interface.
# Setting these will mean that this port serves only SSL connections as
# opposed to plaintext ones.
#(xend-tcp-xmlrpc-server-ssl-key-file xmlrpc.key)
#(xend-tcp-xmlrpc-server-ssl-cert-file xmlrpc.crt)
Without the patch, the issue is still confirmed in version 4.0.1~rc6-1 with the
following trace from /var/log/xend/xend.log
