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

Fri Nov 14 15:54:59 UTC 2014

Amedeo,

I’ve downloaded the script and I’m trying to use it as instructed on that website, but I’m not sure what to use for the errata file:

[root at nw-spcwlk-201 rh]# ./errata-import.pl --server nw-spcwlk-201 --errata ????

Where do I find the name of the XML file containing errata information for each channel I’m interested in?  For example in this case, I’m trying to populate the errata of the CentOS6.5-x86_64.  I’ll also need it for CentOS5_i386.

Thanks for your help.

Marc.

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

I believe that I successfully created the Channel (labeled: centos65-base-x86_64) and Repository (centos65-base-x86_64) and linked them via Manage Software Channels.  Now I’m trying to sync the repository from CentOS URL and I get the following error message:
