[Spacewalk-list] First 'spacewalk-repo-sync' failed with "Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml)"

[Marcelo Moreira de Mello]

Hello Luiz, 

  What is the URL configured on the Spacewalk?

  You might need to point to this address: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/ instead http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml
 
  Does your environment/server runs behind a proxy?
