Hi Jan; Thanks for the reply I looked into the error logs before I sent the initial message but there is nothing much to work with in the /var/log/messages relating to why the apache service didn't start. I also looked at the /var/log/httpd/errorlog and all that was there is below
[Mon Nov 19 16:51:36 2012] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin/suexec) [Mon Nov 19 16:51:36 2012] [error] Certificate not found: 'Server-Cert' I followed the instruction on https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToInstall#InstallingSpacewalk and I suspect that the issue could possibly have occurred when I tried to run the" spacewalk-setup --disconnected --external-db". I am not too sure if I need to have the server pointing to a live CA server or the certificate generated within the "spacewalk-setup --disconnected --external-db" is good by itself.

I suspect the problem is not related to that "Could not reliably ..." message. -- Jan Pazdziora Principal Software Engineer, Satellite Engineering, Red Hat _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-devel mailing list Spacewalk-devel@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-devel _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-devel mailing list Spacewalk-devel@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-devel
