But once it failed the first time, the db existed. Anyway, I found and worked around the bug that caused the initial failure, and the install now get's all the way through to the certificate creation, where it fails with an error about not finding rhnlib. There are two rhnlib packages, one from Redhat and one from Spacewalk. The Spacewalk rhnlib is the one installed. There are some older bugs with rhnlib, but nothing I've found yet seems related to this issue. A question for you. When you installed on RHEL 7.4, was the system also registered to the Redhat Server Optional channel? I'm just wondering if there are some conflicting packages between the Red Hat channels, EPEL, and the Spacewalk 2.7 Server channels. <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 01/05/2018 07:23 AM, Jiří Dostál wrote: </div> <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid:45c25a5e-5678-159b-1a32-dd955d858d55@redhat.com"> <meta http-equiv="Context-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> Eric, I've just successfully installed spacewalk-2.7 on RHEL-7.4.

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. <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 01/04/2018 01:24 PM, Eric wrote: </div> <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid:96dfb33f-f573-dfc5-188e-eaa221060dcc@enrsystems.com"> I 've gotten a bit further.

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? _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:Spacewalk-list@redhat.com" moz-do-not-send="true">Spacewalk-list@redhat.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list</a></pre> </blockquote> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> <pre wrap="">_______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:Spacewalk-list@redhat.com" moz-do-not-send="true">Spacewalk-list@redhat.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list</a></pre> </blockquote> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> <pre wrap="">_______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:Spacewalk-list@redhat.com" moz-do-not-send="true">Spacewalk-list@redhat.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list</a></pre> </blockquote> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> <pre wrap="">_______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:Spacewalk-list@redhat.com" moz-do-not-send="true">Spacewalk-list@redhat.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list</a></pre> </blockquote> <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Jiří Dostál | Associate Software Engineer Red Hat Satellite </pre> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> <pre wrap="">_______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:Spacewalk-list@redhat.com">Spacewalk-list@redhat.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list</a></pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
