I'm having the same problem too. I've got Spacewalk 0.3 running on a CentOS 5.2 
server. I was successfully kickstarting and registering centos-52-i386 clients 
2 days ago. As soon as I created a new CentOS Org, setup the necessary 
channels, installed the kickstart tree, created an activation key, and updated 
the kickstart profile, I can no longer pull the down a kickstart file from ANY 
of my orgs. I keep getting the HTTP 401error. It's not a DNS issue as I'm using 
the FQDN.

I'm currently scratching my head over this too. Like I said, this was all 
working great before I went to add another Org. Now that I have, I can't pull 
down any ks files.

 

Any more idea's??

Hi Adrián,

Thanks for your response. The fqdn is present in the host file of the Spacewalk 
server and test failed there. During the installation of the client there's no 
shell on VT2 so I'm unable to perform the test in that stage.

Thanks again,
Willem.

I can't provide any insight into your problem, but I'd recommend checking out 
whether it actually is the fqdn before taking the time to set up a DNS server.
Just add your server's fqdn to /etc/hosts in your client machine and see if a 
request addressed to the fqdn works or not. If not, mail back and someone else 
might be able to help you out.

Good luck.

Adrián.

Hi Willem,

I am unsure about the checks that spacewalk does when receiving a request for a 
kickstart. Login failed for me if I did not have a fqdn. I think I might have 
used ip on a previous satellite install I worked on but I dont have access to 
it anymore to test that.

 
You are using a enterprise level tool that just works better if it has the 
supporting services like dns working. It will take you 30mins to setup a dns 
server somewhere on a box and at least help eliminate dns related issues.

Gerhardus,

Thanks. But what about wget, shouldn't that work?

Regards,
Willem.

Hi

It is best to get hostnames working as spacewalk is fussy about this.
