Hi,

I installed my spacewalk 1.3 server using postgresql on centos 5.5 as
suggested on web page in a VM (kvm) - arch is x86/64. I created the
repositories and channels further more. Due to limited internet
bandwidth I did download the centos repositories base, updates, ...
epel, spacewalk-client to my host and I did sync with spacewalk by using
command line
$ spacewalk-repo-sync --channel=centos5-base-x86_64
--url=ftp://user:pass@myhost/Downloads/... --type=yum
After some hours the repositories/channels where in sync. Now, to
administrate, I did try to sync using the web interface - this doesn't
seems to work, I don't see any process like spacewalk-repo-sync
--channel=centos5-base-x86_64 --url=http://centos.mirrors.com/... - the
url I've got from spacewalk repo url.

Do I have always perform the sync on command line from now (since I sync
it from there)? How to investigate?

For the (web-api) schedule the same, taskomatic is running (as far I can
see - I miss some basic about java). BTW, the file
'/etc/rhn/default/rhn_taskomatic_daemon.conf' has a lib path to oracle
which isn't used here. Can I remove it?

May some improvements in spacewalk 1.4 in the next weeks?

Thanks
Olaf
