I log into spacewalk. From the first page, overview, I click on register
systems. I get a 404:
The page you requested, /rhn/help/client-config/en/index.jsp, was not found.
I look in /var/log/tomcat5/catalina.out, and see the same message that I
mentioned a few weeks ago, when I spoke of hacking around with spacewalk, and
was castigated for doing so:
Feb 17, 2009 9:06:21 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployDescriptor
WARNING: A docBase /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/rhn inside the host appBase has
been specified, and will be ignored
So, unless someone yells at me that there's a good reason not to, that doing so
will break something else, I'm going to recursively copy the whole directory to
/var/www/html. Last time, I tried symbolic links, and tomcat still complained.
Does anyone have a good explanation for a) why the directory's under
/var/lib/tomcat5/webapps, instead of /var/www/html, and b) this wasn't caught
long before the release of 0.4? This time, I have *not*, until now, hacked at
the system to make it work, but this functionality (or lack thereof) is
obviously a problem.
Actually, thinking further, I wonder if this was why both methods of
registering a system, rhnreg_ks and rhn_register, gave error messages, even
though it had succeeded.
