[Spacewalk-list] Problem with creating of kickstart distributions

[Ivan Pavlenko]

Hi ALL,

I'm stacking on a creating of kickstart distributions problem. When I 
try to create a kickstart distro using this 
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToKickstartCobbler, I get an 
error - "The server experienced a problem which prevented your request 
from being filled out. It may not be possible to execute this action at 
this time.Please help us correct this problem by contacting us with 
details of how you received this message." only.

# getenforce
Permissive
#service iptables stop
# cobbler check
The following are potential configuration items that you may want to fix:

1 : you need to set some SELinux content rules to ensure cobbler serves 
content correctly in your SELinux environment, run the following: 
/usr/sbin/semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t "/tftpboot/.*"
2 : you need to set some SELinux rules if you want to use cobbler-web 
(an optional package), run the following: /usr/sbin/semanage fcontext -a 
-t httpd_sys_content_rw_t "/var/lib/cobbler/webui_sessions/.*"
3 : The default password used by the sample templates for newly 
installed machines (default_password_crypted in /etc/cobbler/settings) 
is still set to 'cobbler' and should be changed, try: "openssl passwd -1 
-salt 'random-phrase-here' 'your-password-here'" to generate new one

Restart cobblerd and then run 'cobbler sync' to apply changes.

I've done first, and I don't need second, because I don't have Cobbler 
GUI. Anyway I don't both of them because I use SeLinux as Permissive. 
Can I have a problem because of third position of the output? Where can 
I get more details about my error? What log files could store this info?

Thank you,
Ivan.
