[Spacewalk-list] osa-dispatcher and jabber

[Anton Pritchard-Meaker]

Thanks for the tip there. I have tried removing the database and deleting the entries as per your suggestion below, but I still get the same error (sm and c2s still not starting either). I use postgresql if that makes any difference.

No need for apology, you can bang your head against this one for a long time without figuring it out.  It took RH support weeks to figure it out and give a workaround.

jabberd needs both its ".db" and Oracle database entries reset.  I've had to do it so many times that I scripted it:

#!/bin/bash
# reset jabberd database entries per case 00627769 set -x service osa-dispatcher stop service jabberd stop rm -f /var/lib/jabberd/db/*  sqlplus $(spacewalk-cfg-get default_db) <<ENDOFSQL delete from rhnPushDispatcher; delete from rhnpushclient; commit; quit; ENDOFSQL service jabberd start service osa-dispatcher start
