[Spacewalk-list] Register Client to a Spacewalk Proxy Server

[Uwanna, Chukwuma (NIH/NCI) [C]]

Hello Nick/Tux Consult,


Thanks for responding.   I have done everything you recommended even before I asked that question but I keep getting the following error messages from the client:

               An error has occurred:
Error communicating with server. The message was:
Connection refused
See /var/log/up2date for more information

When I check the log file, I find:

[Fri Jan 16 13:30:48 2015] up2date

I have been battling with this for months now, what am I doing wrong??!


Thanks again,
Chuck

Oh yeah and you also need to add this to yum.conf

proxy=http://mycache.mydomain.com:3128
# The account details for yum connections
proxy_username=proxy-user
proxy_password=password.
