[Spacewalk-list] Problem Sync'ing a new Channel in Spacewalk.

Wed Nov 12 22:02:04 UTC 2014

Hello Marc

About firewall, you can check ports here -
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/5.6/html-single/Installation_Guide/index.html#sect-Installation_Guide-Additional_Requirements-Firewall

About proxy, in this server, can you access internet web page normally ?!
or do you are asked about auth password ?!, btw you can check the necessary
conf here -
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/5.6/html-single/Installation_Guide/index.html#sect-Installation_Guide-Installation-Running_Installation_Program-HTTP_Proxy_Setup

About the sync managed by taskomatic, you have to access Channels - Manage
Software Channels - click over your channel, after, in tab Repositories,
you can select your repository and click in update repositories, after this
click in under tab Sync, here you will define the sync frequency/schedule
(daily for example) and click in schedule. You can see a button Sync Now,
you can click to force a synchronization. You can see logs about it in
/var/log/rhn/reposync/<channel_name>.log

Enjoy! and let me know if you have some doubt about it.
