The install went off without a hitch and populating the channels with spacewalk-repo-sync worked properly. I created the kickstart distributions and the profiles for the CentOS channels. Cobbler looks like it picked up the configurations properly: [root@spacewalk ~]# cobbler list distro CentOS_4_i386:2:CentOS profile CentOS_4_i386_Std:2:CentOS distro CentOS_4_i386:xen:2:CentOS distro CentOS_4_x86_64:2:CentOS profile CentOS_4_x86_64_Std:2:CentOS distro CentOS_4_x86_64:xen:2:CentOS distro CentOS_5_i386:2:CentOS profile CentOS_5_i386_Std:2:CentOS distro CentOS_5_i386:xen:2:CentOS distro CentOS_5_x86_64:2:CentOS profile CentOS_5_x86_64_Std:2:CentOS distro CentOS_5_x86_64:xen:2:CentOS When trying to kickstart any of the profiles I'm getting an error within anaconda that it can't retrieve the URL. Trying to retrieve the file from the spacewalk server itself returns a no data retrieved error: [root@spacewalk ~]# wget "<a target="_blank" href="http://spacewalk/cblr/svc/op/ks/profile/CentOS_5_i386_Std:2:CentOS">http://spacewalk/cblr/svc/op/ks/profile/CentOS_5_i386_Std:2:CentOS</a>" --22:36:16-- <a target="_blank" href="http://spacewalk/cblr/svc/op/ks/profile/CentOS_5_i386_Std:2:CentOS">http://spacewalk/cblr/svc/op/ks/profile/CentOS_5_i386_Std:2:CentOS</a> Resolving spacewalk... 10.100.0.61 Connecting to spacewalk|10.100.0.61|:80... connected.

It looks like the cobbler python environment is logging the following errors to the Apache logs: [root@spacewalk ~]# tail -5 /var/log/httpd/error_log [Sun Oct 18 22:37:28 2009] [notice] child pid 3229 exit signal Aborted (6) httpd: Objects/stringobject.c:117: PyString_FromString: Assertion `str != ((void *)0)' failed.

[Sun Oct 18 22:37:39 2009] [notice] child pid 3231 exit signal Aborted (6) I'm starting to think this is a wider issue with python scripts not being able to connect because of the following entries: [root@spacewalk ~]# tail -2 /var/log/rhn/osa-dispatcher.log 2009/10/18 22:38:44 -04:00 3172 0.0.0.0: osad/jabber_lib.main('ERROR', 'Error caught:') 2009/10/18 22:38:44 -04:00 3172 0.0.0.0: osad/jabber_lib.main('ERROR', 'Traceback (most recent call last):\n File "/usr/share/rhn/osad/jabber_lib.py", line 119, in main\n self.setup_config(config)\n File "/usr/share/rhn/osad/osa_dispatcher.py", line 81, in setup_config\n rhnSQL.initDB()\n File "/usr/share/rhn/server/rhnSQL/__init__.py", line 98, in initDB\n __init__DB(backend, host, port, username, password, database)\n File "/usr/share/rhn/server/rhnSQL/__init__.py", line 59, in __init__DB\n __DB.check_connection()\n File "/usr/share/rhn/server/rhnSQL/driver_cx_Oracle.py", line 490, in check_connection\n self.connect() # only allow one try\n File "/usr/share/rhn/server/rhnSQL/driver_cx_Oracle.py", line 370, in connect\n self.dbh = self._connect()\n File "/usr/share/rhn/server/rhnSQL/driver_cx_Oracle.py", line 396, in _connect\n dbh = cx_Oracle.Connection(self.dsn)\nInterfaceError: Unable to acquire Oracle environment handle\n') Does anyone have any ideas as to what the potential issue could be? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Matt </div></div> </body></html>
