Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 0.9.12-11
Severity: normal
Hello,
libvirt seems to default to attempting to connect to xen using the insecure
port 8000
HTTP interface, despite documentation everywhere saying that the HTTP interface
is bad for security:
root@mordac:/home/michael# virsh connect
error: Failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: unable to connect to 'localhost:8000': Connection refused
So I've configured xend to use the unix socket interface instead:
root@mordac:/home/michael# grep ^[^#].*xend-unix /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp
(xend-unix-server yes)
(xend-unix-path /var/run/xend/xend.sock)
However, I am having difficulty convincing libvirt to use this interface. My
reading of http://libvirt.org/uri.html suggests that these *ought* to work:
root@mordac:/home/michael# virsh -c ///var/run/xend/xend.sock
error: no connection driver available for No connection for URI
/var/run/xend/xend.sock
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
root@mordac:/home/michael# virsh -c xen:///var/run/xend/xend.sock
error: internal error unexpected Xen URI path '/var/run/xend/xend.sock',
try xen:///
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
root@mordac:/home/michael# virsh -c xen+unix:///var/run/xend/xend.sock
error: internal error unexpected Xen URI path '/var/run/xend/xend.sock',
try xen:///
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
root@mordac:/home/michael# virsh -c xen+unix:///
error: unable to connect to 'localhost:8000': Connection refused
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
root@mordac:/home/michael# virsh -c xen:///
error: unable to connect to 'localhost:8000': Connection refused
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
I'm open to the possibility that it is simply a case of error messages being
incorrect or misleading.
