[Spacewalk-list] Install spacewalk - first issue

Well, maybe, maybe not. It depends on how the firewall is set up.

I'm making the assumption that you are running Red Hat EL6.

If the firewall rules are all IP based, you may have access to the RHN locations and not anything else. Here's all of the locations related to RHN and their IP addresses:

xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com:443 - 209.132.183.44

xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com:80 - 209.132.183.44

rhn.redhat.com:443 - 209.132.183.42

rhn.redhat.com:80 - 209.132.183.42

content-xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com:443 - 184.26.116.218

content-xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com:80 - 184.26.116.218

content-web.rhn.redhat.com:443 - 23.11.106.169

content-web.rhn.redhat.com:80 - 23.11.106.169

The spacewalk server is at the following address:

spacewalk.redhat.com - 209.132.183.81. Port is 80

So, it's possible that the firewall is not allowing outbound access to this address.

This is just a shot in the dark.

Firewall should be taken into account. Before running rpm, I did 'yum update' without problem. Does this mean there is no firewall issue? Here is the output summary of 'yum update':

Just out of curiosity, is this machine behind a firewall and/or a proxy server?

Just for gits and shiggles, what happens when you try this:
# wget http://spacewalk.redhat.com/yum/1.7/RHEL/6/x86_64/spacewalk-repo-1.7-5.el6.noarch.rpm
# yum localinstall spacewalk-repo-1.7-5.el6.noarch.rpm
