[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk 2.1 - Upload kickstart file fails

Thu Apr 24 05:27:50 UTC 2014

Hi All,

Am attempting to migrate from 1.9 to 2.1 all seems OK but when trying to upload a kickstart file (xml) spacewalk fires out:

"There are errors in your kickstart template. Please check the 'Kickstart File' tab to determine the problem with the template"

Investigating the 'kickstart file'  shows a html indicating an internal server error  ....  E.g.:

Not too much appears in the logs files in relation to this.  I have snapshotted spacewalk 2.1 and upgraded to the latest nightly build but the result is the same.
