Tried to create it using a script

file_repogen.sh

#!/bin/bash

# PULP_MANIFEST Generator
#

REPO="$1"

if [ -z "$REPO" ]; then
    echo "Please specify a directory to run against as an absolute path."
    exit 1

This file has been truncated. show original

created a folder in /var/www/html/ and created manifest in that folder using the script
but got error when specifying the URL file:///new_repo

Response body: {“url”:[“url ‘file:///new_repo/PULP_MANIFEST’ is not an allowed import path”]}

Hi @dkm6

You can edit the import paths in this file:

/etc/pulp/settings.py

After you edit them, run foreman-maintain service restart

Then try the script again.

The script is creating manifest, but katello do not allow to use that folder as file type location as described in documentaton. Doc says to create a folder under web servers public folder which I did and created pulp manifest there, but getting this error, when giving upstream url as file:///folderinpub
