Right... it proxies through apache as you say.
However, if apache is not listening on 127.0.0.1:80, then the replication will
fail with connection refused, due to the line of code I referenced in
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cobbler/action_replicate.py ...
self.local = xmlrpclib.Server("http://127.0.0.1/cobbler_api";)
In order to make this work for me, I had to make apache listen on 127.0.0.1:80
... which for whatever reason, might not be desirable for everyone. It would
be better to make this variable in the replication portion of the framework,
rather than hard-coding it to localhost.

Well no, XMLRPC binds to localhost on port 25151 by default. For remote access,
we proxy through Apache at http://server/cobbler_api
Probably the issue is in the apache configuration, on EL check
/etc/httpd/conf.d/cobbler.conf

Ok, well that wasn't the issue... I've finally pulled my head out and figured
this out. The offending issue is that on line 357 of
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cobbler/action_replicate.py we see this:
self.local = xmlrpclib.Server("http://127.0.0.1/cobbler_api";)
Which implies that we're configured to listen on localhost:80 ... which I was
not. I had apache configured to listen ONLY on my external IP.
I'm thinking that this should be changed... perhaps moved into a configuration
directive and not hard-coded to localhost.
Thoughts?

Hi there! It seems the server (or a device in the network path) is sending an
tcp rst (reset) to the client. Can you please verify this by using a tool like
telnet/netcat?

Hi Folks,
I'm having some trouble getting replication going under the latest 2.5 dev
release. I suspect there's something up with my configuration, but I can't
seem to find what it is. I cloned my master cobbler server to a remote site,
change the relevant hostname pieces and the new slave server seems to work in
itself locally. But when I attempt to replicate from the master, I get the
following.
Can anyone clue me in as to what might be happening?
