We're having a vexing issue with a new Spacewalk 2.6 installation. We've made it a slave to a master (security reasons; only one SW is exposed to the Internet) and have everything synchronized and communicating successfully. But when we try to do an update or install with yum, we get a 404 error like this:
Error downloading packages: nss-tools-3.28.4-8.el7.x86_64: failed to retrieve getPackage/nss-tools-3.28.4-8.el7.x86_64.rpm from our_repo I find errors get logged in /var/log/httpd/error_log simultaneously like this: [Mon Dec 18 20:02:31.638648 2017] [:error] [pid 53696] Spacewalk 53696 2017/12/18 20:02:31 +01:00: WARNING: log path not found; attempting to create /var/log/rhn [Mon Dec 18 20:02:31.638680 2017] [:error] [pid 53696] Spacewalk 53696 2017/12/18 20:02:31 +01:00: (None, None) [Mon Dec 18 20:02:31.638810 2017] [:error] [pid 53696] Spacewalk 53696 2017/12/18 20:02:31 +01:00: ERROR: unable to create log file path /var/log/rhn [Mon Dec 18 20:02:31.638837 2017] [:error] [pid 53696] Spacewalk 53696 2017/12/18 20:02:31 +01:00: (<type 'exceptions.OSError'>, OSError(13, 'Permission denied')) Of course, /var/log/rhn exists and has proper permissions. I even set permissions to 777 just in case with no positive effect. One other possible clue: in /var/log/rhn/rhn_taskomatic_daemon.log I found this: INFO | jvm 1 | 2017/12/18 20:06:32 | com.mchange.v2.cfg.DelayedLogItem [ level -> FINE, text -> "The configuration file for resource identifier '/mchange-commons.properties' could not be found. Skipping.", exception -> java.io.FileNotFoundException: Resource not found at path '/mchange-commons.properties'.] And in Googling that I found an unreplied post here that says: -- Tomcat6 is having a problem finding mchange-commons when it's starting up which causes the web / api interface to fail, causing other parts of spacewalk to fail to initialize. How / where can I get the mchange-commons installed and linked properly so that tomcat will be able to start? -- So, in summary: - Spacewalk set up as slave - Clients can see SW - SW knows which systems need upgrades - Upgrades or installs fail with 404 error -- Ray Clouse | Senior Systems Application Engineer | 3349 Michelson Drive Suite 150 | Irvine, CA 92612 949.428.5880 [o] | 949.870.6935 [m] [cid:[email protected]]<http://www.hireright.com/>
