Hi James, I just checked /var/log/tomcat5/catalina.out and it contains errors : 2008-11-18 15:36:03,700 [TP-Processor6] ERROR com.redhat.rhn.manager.kickstart.KickstartScheduleCommand - Tools channel not found! This means we can't find the rhn-kickstart package. 2008-11-18 15:36:03,707 [TP-Processor6] ERROR com.redhat.rhn.common.errors.PermissionExceptionHandler - Permission Error com.redhat.rhn.common.security.PermissionException: The activation key '1-1b5ded8329c9661f44cfc5656fca7a50' needs provisioning capabilities to be able to facilitate the config channel functionality Now, I'm new to Spacewalk so I'll have to check te manual. I'll probably get to that tomorrow.

I've got Spacewalk 0.3 running on a CentOS 5.2 server. I was successfully kickstarting and registering centos-52-i386 clients 2 days ago. As soon as I created a new CentOS Org, setup the necessary channels, installed the kickstart tree, created an activation key, and updated the kickstart profile, I can no longer pull the down a kickstart file from ANY of my orgs. I keep getting the HTTP 401error. It's not a DNS issue as I'm using the FQDN.

The fqdn is present in the host file of the Spacewalk server and test failed there. During the installation of the client there's no shell on VT2 so I'm unable to perform the test in that stage.

Just add your server's fqdn to /etc/hosts in your client machine and see if a request addressed to the fqdn works or not. If not, mail back and someone else might be able to help you out. Good luck.

Login failed for me if I did not have a fqdn. I think I might have used ip on a previous satellite install I worked on but I dont have access to it anymore to test that. You are using a enterprise level tool that just works better if it has the supporting services like dns working. It will take you 30mins to setup a dns server somewhere on a box and at least help eliminate dns related issues.
