We are trying to install Spacewalk 1.8 on a freshly installed CentOS 6.3 VM<br>
following the directions at<br>

<br>
We first ran into lots of problems related to PostgreSQL. We created a spacewalk user in Postgresql along with a spacewalkdb database.The spacewalk-setup would simply fail with "Could not populate database.". Finally figured out where postgresql was putting its log file and found<br>
in it the line<br>
<br>
ERROR: permission denied for language c<br>
<br>
After googling that I figured out I had to do<br>
<br>
ALTER ROLE spacewalk SUPERUSER;<br>
<br>
to get past that error. After trying the setup again, it failed again with<br>
<br>
ERROR: language "plpgsql" does not exist<br>
<br>
So then I did a<br>
<br>
createlang "plpgsql" spacewalkdb<br>
<br>
to fix that. Setup failed again because the database was half made and<br>
I had to rerun with the --clear-db flag. At that point I got past all<br>
my Postgresql troubles. But the above should really be added to the webpage<br>
in the "PostgreSQL Pre-Requisites" section.<br>
<br>
Anyway, the setup got to "Restarting services." and sat there thinking for<br>
a long, long time before finallying failing with:<br>
<br>
Tomcat failed to start properly or the installer ran out of tries. Please check /var/log/tomcat*/catalina.out for errors.<br>
<br>
So in that file I find:<br>
<br>
SEVERE: Error deploying web application directory rhn<br>
java.lang.<u></u>IllegalStateException: ContainerBase.addChild: start: LifecycleException: start: : java.io.IOException: Failed to access resource /WEB-INF/lib/antlr.jar<br>
<br>
I am pretty much at a total loss to figure out this one. One thing I can<br>
guess is that the 'antlr' spacewalk wants/expects to be installed is not<br>
installed because of what this 'yum list' results shows to me<br>
<br>

Looks like some newer version from the CentOS repo itself is installed<br>
rather than the one from the jpackage repo.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions on what really is wrong and how to fix it?<br>
