[Spacewalk-list] reposync hang- lost spacewalk urgently

[Bushby, Bruce (London)(c)]

Hi Rob

Most dhcp servers always hand out the same ipaddress so even though you
can't access your host via "dns name" you can still configure your host
with it's FQDN.

As an example, if your system is called "spacewalk" and you domain is
"myoffice.com", then make sure your /etc/hosts file at least looks like
the following:
 #
127.0.0.1 		localhost.localdomain localhost
#
192.168.100.10		spacewalk.myoffice.com	spacewalk
#

Then edit /etc/sysconfig/network to look something like this:
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=spacewalk.myoffice.com


Then run the hostname command, giving it your FQDN:
/bin/hostname spacewalk.myoffice.com

Test things, type
/bin/hostname

It should return your FQDN
/bin/ping FQDN


Then restart spacewalk
Rhn-satellite stop
/etc/init.d/oracle-xe stop
Rhn-satellite start

You may find that you have issues with jabber/ssl due to hostname
changes....I always setup /etc/hosts and hostname before installing
spacewalk

Also, when you did your installation, did you setup your Oracle listener
as "localhost" .... I've had some issue with Oracle-xe and the listener.

This is how I install Oracle.....good luck, hope this helps!
