[Spacewalk-list] register systems

Well since no-one has any ideas I think I am going to re-install and try RHEL 4.7 even though there are supposedly people out there that can get systems registered on RHEL 5.2. Wish me luck..........

This is the only thing that looks suspicious: 

from /var/log/httpd/error_log on the spacewalk server

[Tue Feb 17 13:11:20 2009] [error] [client 172.30.217.20] File does not exist: /var/www/html/XMLRPC
[Tue Feb 17 13:11:20 2009] [error] [client 172.30.217.20] RHN::Exception: Tried to read 122 bytes from rpc request, but only could read 0\n  PXT::Request /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/PXT/Request.pm 527 RHN::Exception::throw\n  PXT::Request /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/PXT/Request.pm 541 PXT::Request::xml_body\n  PXT::ApacheHandler /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/PXT/ApacheHandler.pm 396 PXT::Request::rpc_params\n  PXT::ApacheHandler /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/PXT/ApacheHandler.pm 67 PXT::ApacheHandler::initialize_pxt\n  main -e 0 PXT::ApacheHandler::handler\n  main -e 0 (eval)\n

I brought up this point on a post back on 2-5-09 

find / -name 
XMLRPC
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/XMLRPC
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Apache/XMLRPC
/usr/share/doc/perl-SOAP-Lite-0.710.08/examples/XMLRPC

I was told by Miroslav Suchy that

"It is apache handler defined in /etc/rhn/satellite-httpd/conf/rhn/xmlrpc.conf. No such file exist."

No other logs have any additional information on the server.

**Note the above is when I run rhn_register.

When I run 

 rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=https://spacewalk.company.com/XMLRPC --activationkey=9b96b0f4a6a16ec24aeecb9ad191ed90

I get the following in /var/log/up2date on the client and nothing on the server.

[Tue Feb 17 13:20:49 2009] up2date
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks", line 267, in ?

    raise up2dateErrors.CommunicationError(e.errmsg)
