[Spacewalk-list] I can now update CentOS

Fri Nov 14 15:54:12 UTC 2014

Daryl,

If you followed the client registration steps I sent before everything
should work fine. I've done this on the latest CentOS 6 and 7 and had no
problems. Below is a copy of my CentOS 7 steps which are the same for
CentOS 6, just changing the urls and file names for CentOS 6. My initial
install I had the wrong hostname in my SSL cert due to a typo and had to
rebuild it all as the rename didn't work, but from then on I haven't had
any problems. I had similar problems with the SSL cert on the first server,
some things worked and other didn't. If I remember my clients would
register, but then things broke down quickly after that.

sudo rpm -Uvh
http://spacewalk.redhat.com/yum/2.2-client/RHEL/7/x86_64/spacewalk-client-repo-2.2-1.el7.noarch.rpm

sudo rpm -Uvh
http://mirror.cogentco.com/pub/linux/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-2.noarch.rpm

sudo rpm -Uvh http://spacewalk.internal/pub/rhn-org-trusted-ssl-cert-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
<http://spacewalk/pub/rhn-org-trusted-ssl-cert-1.0-1.noarch.rpm>(Your
server in the url here for SSL cert)

sudo yum install spacewalk-client-setup rhncfg-actions osad rhn-setup
fence-agents-all

sudo /usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=http://spacewalk.interal/XMLRPC
--activationkey=YOURACTIVATIONKEY

sudo rhn-actions-control --enable-run (Enables push)
