Not to sound sarcastic but. Have you checked taskomatics log? Mabe to see why its failing to start? There may be a simple answer to this but without knowing what's. In taskomatics log we really can't help you <div class="gmail_quote">On Jul 9, 2012 5:02 AM, "Jacek Rudowski" <<a href="mailto:jrudowski@sapphire.gi">jrudowski@sapphire.gi</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <div lang="EN-GB" link="blue" vlink="purple"> <div> Good morning, Should I understand that I'm the only one with such a problem? :) Would it be possible to get any advice? at least some directions? <div> Regards, Jacek Rudowski <a href="mailto:jrudowski@sapphire.gi" target="_blank">jrudowski@sapphire.gi</a> DDI: <a href="tel:%2B350%2020049785" value="+35020049785" target="_blank">+350 20049785</a> Sapphire Networks Suite 3.0.3, Eurotowers, P O Box 797, Gibraltar </div> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td valign="top" style="padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm"> Customer Services ( Tel: <a href="tel:%2B350%2020047200" value="+35020047200" target="_blank">+350 20047200</a> F Fax: +350 20047272 * E-Mail: <a href="mailto:info@sapphire.gi" title="mailto:info@sapphire.gi blocked::mailto:info@sapphire.gi" target="_blank">info@sapphire.gi</a> : Web: <a href="http://www.sapphire.gi/" title="http://www.sapphire.gi/ blocked::http://www.sapphire.gi/" target="_blank">http://www.sapphire.gi</a> </td> <td valign="top" style="padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm"> Technical Support ( Tel: <a href="tel:%2B350%2020047201" value="+35020047201" target="_blank">+350 20047201</a> F Fax: +350 20047271 * E-Mail: <a href="mailto:support@sapphire.gi" title="mailto:support@sapphire.gi blocked::mailto:support@sapphire.gi" target="_blank">support@sapphire.gi</a> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"> <hr size="2" width="100%" align="center"> </div> From: Jacek Rudowski Sent: 05 July 2012 18:07 To: '<a href="mailto:spacewalk-list@redhat.com" target="_blank">spacewalk-list@redhat.com</a>' Subject: Spacewalk 1.7 / RHEL 5.8 / Taskomatic issue </div> Hello everybody, I hope someone will be able to help me with my problems with taskomatic. To be as descriptive as possible and give as much information as possible - a bit of background... First installation of Spacewalk 1.7 has been done on RHEL 5.5 and I have to say it started to work almost instantly (with exception for cobbler, which had to be downgraded due to some apparently known issues - but that's not the case here) I connected it with mrepo generated repositories, with packages synced nightly to spacewalk, and also with taskomatic running fine - so I had also repo files prepared daily for spacewalk and rhnplugin. Later I have upgraded RHEL to 5.8 and... taskomatic stopped working, and to be honest I have no idea why, which change in the system it might be related to. repomd.xml is not generated anymore for spacewalk/rhnplugin and taskomatic dying a while after (re)start attempt. With some debug logging turned on I find those: ERROR | wrapper | 2012/07/04 10:24:45 | Startup failed: Timed out waiting for signal from JVM. ERROR | wrapper | 2012/07/04 10:24:45 | JVM did not exit on request, terminated DEBUG | wrapper | 2012/07/04 10:24:45 | Signal trapped. Details: DEBUG | wrapper | 2012/07/04 10:24:45 | signal number=17 (SIGCHLD), source="unknown" DEBUG | wrapper | 2012/07/04 10:24:45 | Received SIGCHLD, checking JVM process status. DEBUG | wrapperp | 2012/07/04 10:24:45 | socket read no code (closed?). DEBUG | wrapperp | 2012/07/04 10:24:45 | Closing backend socket. I was googling for information on this - it looks to be quite a common issue with earlier versions of spacewalk, but also expected to be sorted(?) Anyway - some further investigation, with even more logging gave me this: INFO | jvm 1 | 2012/07/04 16:41:07 | 2012-07-04 16:41:07,180 [WrapperListener_start_runner] INFO com.redhat.rhn.taskomatic.core.TaskomaticDaemon - Tomcat is not up yet, sleeping 4 seconds INFO | jvm 1 | 2012/07/04 16:41:11 | 2012-07-04 16:41:11,187 [WrapperListener_start_runner] INFO com.redhat.rhn.taskomatic.core.TaskomaticDaemon - Tomcat is not up yet, sleeping 4 seconds INFO | jvm 1 | 2012/07/04 16:41:15 | 2012-07-04 16:41:15,193 [WrapperListener_start_runner] INFO com.redhat.rhn.taskomatic.core.TaskomaticDaemon - Tomcat is not up yet, sleeping 4 seconds INFO | jvm 1 | 2012/07/04 16:41:19 | 2012-07-04 16:41:19,199 [WrapperListener_start_runner] INFO com.redhat.rhn.taskomatic.core.TaskomaticDaemon - Tomcat is not up yet, sleeping 4 seconds INFO | jvm 1 | 2012/07/04 16:41:23 | 2012-07-04 16:41:23,205 [WrapperListener_start_runner] INFO com.redhat.rhn.taskomatic.core.TaskomaticDaemon - Tomcat is not up yet, sleeping 4 seconds INFO | jvm 1 | 2012/07/04 16:41:27 | 2012-07-04 16:41:27,212 [WrapperListener_start_runner] INFO com.redhat.rhn.taskomatic.core.TaskomaticDaemon - Tomcat is not up yet, sleeping 4 seconds But... tomcat is running and listening on port 8009 for ajp proxied connections (which I think is default in spacewalk installation) I don't really know now where too look at - maybe someone experienced similar sort of issue already? One more thing maybe - from catalina.out: Jul 5, 2012 5:11:27 PM org.apache.coyote.ajp.AjpMessage processHeader SEVERE: Invalid message recieved with signature 18245 But it doesn't really help me much - maybe because of lack of some skills in Java (couple of more weeks with those issues, and it will probably change... ha ha!) Just yet couple of word about environment: as mentioned earlier RHEL 5.8 Spacewalk 1.7 TanukiWrapper 3.2.1 Java 1.6.0 (tried OpenJDK, Sun, IBM - no luck - now it's Sun) Any suggestions would be welcome - any questions for additional information either, of course...
