Hola, Does the Spacewalk server also need to register itself as a Spacewalk client, or does it happen by default?

No, somebody had to register it.
using the spacewalk interface to install software, but it's now been waiting to install for over 12 hours without being actioned.
If you mean remote action waiting for 12 hours to be picked up, check if rhnsd service on given client is running (checks for new events every 4 hours by default), or if you are using osad (should pick events in seconds), check that service. What does `rhn_check -vv` say when executed on the server with stacked event? Note you can not have osad on Spacewalk itself.
When I try yum installing from the cli, I get this error: Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, rhnplugin There was an error communicating with RHN. Red Hat Satellite or RHN Classic support will be disabled. rhn-plugin: Error communicating with server. The message was: Broken response from the server.
Check servers logs (/var/log/httpd/error_log /var/log/tomcat*/catalina.out) as well.
I presume this is why Spacewalk can't install anything - which log file do I look into?
Check /var/log/up2date log. Regards, Jan
