Just FYI: Ive never seen this page work in all my installs and just register systems by including the cmd
rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=https://spacewalk.server.com/XMLRPC --activationkey=1-7add0da8bc 40dcde79f4ffd4f95f3d7b --sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT in the bootstrap script. Heres my registration cheatsheet for a C5.2 system. RHEL only needs the rhn-org rpm and the rhnreg_ks line Register: rpm -ivh http://spacewalk.server.com/pub/rhn-org-trusted-ssl-cert-1.0-1.noarch.r pm rpm -ivh http://stahnma.fedorapeople.org/spacewalk-tools/spacewalk-client-tools- 0.0-1.noarch.rpm yum -y install rhn-setup yum-rhn-plugin rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=spacewalk.server.com/XMLRPC --activationkey=1-7add0da8bc40dcde79 f4ffd4f95f3d7b --sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT edit things: perl -npe 's/=240/=10/' -i /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd perl -npe 's/gpgcheck = 1/gpgcheck = 0/' -i /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/rhnplugin.conf Remove all of /etc/yum.repos.d/* if you like enable things: yum -y install rhncfg-actions rhn-actions-control --enable-all service rhnsd restart From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steve Vargo Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2009 10:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Spacewalk-list] register systems Centos 5.2 should have the same python version. Can you get any client to register using rhnreg_ks or rhn_register I can't and I get the same 404 error when I attempt to register via the spacewalk web page. -Steve > From: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [Spacewalk-list] register systems > To: [email protected] > Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2009 10:30:46 -0500 > > Steve, > > >Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2009 10:24:57 -0500 > >From: Steve Vargo <[email protected]> > > > > I have a very similar issue I also get the 404 error > > and can't register any hosts.

As I said, it's in the tomcat error log, and unless someone explains this to me differently, I'd say it's a bug, that the whole directory is in the wrong place. > > mark > > > > > From: [email protected] > > > To: [email protected] > > > Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2009 10:20:16 -0500 > > > Subject: [Spacewalk-list] register systems > > > > > > I log into spacewalk.
