My apology up front, I am not family with your forum and protocol. I am tasked in building and launching  a Linux Spacewalk Server, which will be use in servicing our organization Linux machines both virtual and physical environment.
I am new at Linux and I have just installed RHEL 6.4 (x86_64) as my OS for Spacewalk 2.0 server. I configured the server with a base and child channel, and manually sync the channels. I can see that the channels are populate with packets from manually syncing. I was not able to sync the channels using the GUI, because I received the following error that "the scheduling service appears down. Please contact your satellite administrator".

Currently, I have two registered clients to the spacewalk server, both using RHEL 6 as OS. When I conduct a yum update. I receive the following error:

# yum update

Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, rhnplugin, security, subscription-manager
This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register.
This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or Red Hat Satellite.

Trying other mirror. Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: myrepo. Please verify its path and try again
Trying to troubleshooting by running the following script: URLGRABBER_DEBUG=1 yum check-update, I receive the following error:
