Hey Josh,

From the rpms you seem to have installed I am guessing you are using spacewalk 0.4 with cobbler 1.6.. Please let me know if this is not the case.. i.e. let us know the output-> rpm -q cobbler

If the output says 1.6 or greater read further ...

Cobbler 1.6 had some changes in it with respect to xmlrpc connection URI (/cobbler_api_rw got changed to /cobbler_api_rw). In that sense cobbler 1.6 and spacewalk 0.4 are incompatible .. To remedy this situation you have 3 options

1) (Recommended) Upgrade to spacewalk 0.5 which works well with cobbler 1.6 and other bug fixes pertaining to cobbler spacewalk integration.
2) Downgrade Cobbler to 1.4.3 from 1.6
3) Add the following rewrite rule to "/etc/httpd/conf.d/zz-spacewalk-www.conf"
RewriteRule ^/cobbler_api_rw /cobbler_api [P]

So I have gotten past my initial cobbler problem on install and have
managed to get spacewalk started.  I'm able to login in to the web
interface and start poking around.  But I find myself inundated with
emails like this:

This would appear to be related to this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=488137

Any pointers on how I might be able to take the proposed fix and apply
it to my installation?  Is this a critical error, or can I proceed with
the setup process for Spacewalk while ignoring these exceptions?

Thanks!

Josh
