I've been trying to set up a spacewalk server on my CentOS 5 server, and then register a CentOS 4 server. The documentation up through installing Oracle is pretty good, but it's a bit spotty after that and some stuff just doesn't work.
- After installing Oracle XE, I tried to create a CentOS 4 channel. I told it to create the channel, but didn't know from where to install the gpg key. I started the steps found at https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/CertCreation, but when I got to the step "Install GPG keys into webapp", I don't know how to do that and haven't found much that's helpful on Google. - I also tried to create a new activation key for the channel. The install docs don't mention exactly how to do this, but I found a message here: http://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2008-July/msg00189.html, which I followed. This seems to have created two keys, which I find odd, but okay. - The biggest problem I have now is trying to get the client registered. I followed the steps here: https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/RegisteringClients. Specifically, on the client machine, I did: yum -q -y install usermode-gtk pyOpenSSL 1>/dev/null 2>&1 rpm -ivh http://stahnma.fedorapeople.org/spacewalk-tools/spacewalk-client-tools-0.0-1.noarch.rpm yum install rhn-setup But I get an error that rhn-setup can't be found. So I tried a 'yum search rhn-setup', and got nothing. So then I tried 'yum search rhnreg_ks', and again found nothing. Out of desperation I tried '# /usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rhnreg.py --serverUrl=http://spacewalk.<domain ommitted>/XMLRPC --activationkey=1-e54b334a60068cd29c1a2ddac71fde26' I get a prompt back on the client machine, but nothing else and the client doesn't show up on the server under systems or the channel. I'm pretty much stuck here....Help? Thanks! Ben
