Eric,
I've just successfully installed spacewalk-2.7 on RHEL-7.4. I've had a
clean system and have been following instructions on GitHub.
According to
"So I believe that in order to get where I need to be......I need to
clear out the old db info somehow, and get it to rerun the installer
correctly."
I assume you had spacewalk in different version installed before?
Thank you,
Jiri

Hi Eric,
Yes, in fact I've managed to perform a clean install of Spacewalk 2.7
on a RHEL 7.3 system, but.... using an external postgresql [ 9.4 ]
...and using the existing DB from a previous 2.6 install.

And another update. Bug from 2013 seems to be back. Followed steps
in this bug report for creatlang, and install of db works.
Old bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=903487
So that issue solved........moving on. Gets all the way through
install.....then bombs on setting up the cerificate store. missing
rhnlib is the error. The rhnlib rpm is installed. Still working on
this one.
This all begs the question........is 2.7 even remotely ready for RHEL
7? I have NEVER had this many issues setting up Spacewalk, one bug
after another.

I 've gotten a bit further. I figured out how to clear out postgres
and reinitialize......but it still dies when I run spacewalk-setup.
The last entry in the install db log now is:
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl stop postgresql.service
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start postgresql.service

Following the install guid here:
https://github.com/spacewalkproject/spacewalk/wiki/HowToInstall
When I get to the spacewalk-setup, it ends with "can't install DB".
When I look in the error logs, it says that the schema already exists.
I believe I had this issue a while back, maybe 2.4 on RHEL 6. And I
solved it by running spacewalk-setup --clear-db.
When I run spacewalk-setup --clear-db now, it errors with embedded
database not installed and then follows with a bunch of errors about the
schema user password being wrong.
The man page says that the --clear-db option implies skip the db
install. I certainly don't recall that being the case a few years back.
So I believe that in order to get where I need to be......I need to
clear out the old db info somehow, and get it to rerun the installer
correctly. I've been beating on this for 2 days.
I just did a RHEL 6 install a couple of weeks ago, and it went without
any issues, following the same install guide.
Anybody have any ideas on how to get this install to proceed?
