[Spacewalk-list] Problems installing spacewalk server - take 2

Fri Jan 9 02:37:44 UTC 2015

Brian, good morning

Sorry for a long delay ..., very busy.

You can check all files inside /var/log/rhn/* and /var/log/*

Check what log are changing during installation (ls -ltr) and use the
command (tail -f <log file>) to check in real time what's happening.

Feel free to send us any "strange" output :-)

Take Care
