If Apache did not start due to cofiguration clash, that's the cause for this error message. The spacewalk-setup checks tomcat by doing a request to Apache (to be handled by tomcat). > Would it be easier to run Spacewalk inside of a private virtual machine > or is it possible to mesh with my existing services? It is very likely possible, it's just not something that spacewalk-setup supports / does at this moment. We will be happy to review patches to make Spacewalk easier to install alongside existing user configuration on the same Apache / jabberd / etc. -- Jan Pazdziora Principal Software Engineer, Satellite Engineering, Red Hat _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
