[Spacewalk-list] Problem while trying to import files from a client

[Sascha Bendix]

Hi,

today I realized that I cannot import configuration files from client on a spacewalk server.

I got a spacewalk server version 1.1 and clients with spacewalk tools version 1.0 and 1.1. Both versions run into the same problem.

Here is the output of rhn_check -v -v -v -v -v

D: opening  db index       /var/lib/rpm/Packages rdonly mode=0x0

The strange thing is that the apache httpd on the spacewalk server logs a successful access:

POST /CONFIG-MANAGEMENT HTTP/1.1" 200 195

In the rhn_config_management.log there are only the following items for this time period:

config/rhn_config_management.client_get_maximum_file_size
config/rhn_config_management.client_get_delimiters

I know that this installation was upgraded from 0.8.

Can anyone give me a clue what could be the problem?
