[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk-hostname-rename script broken on Centos7

[Damien Daco]

Hi all,

I had a problem similar to this one:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2015-December/msg00046.html

Here's how I fixed the problem. Please bear with me, I'm a noob and this is
just a temp fix.
I'm hoping you guys will find a better way to implement this.

The spacewalk-hostname-rename script would fail with the following output:

Stopping rhn-satellite services ... OK
Testing DB connection ... FAILED
Your database isn't running.
Fix the problem and run /bin/spacewalk-hostname-rename again

My database is postgresql, but the script was looking at a wrong location:

if [ -x /etc/init.d/postgresql ]; then
        DB_SERVICE="postgresql"

The thing is, my postgresql was NOT located at /etc/init.d/postgresql (I'm
guessing this is related to the switch to systemd)

I found the real location of my postgresql by running:

systemctl status postgresql
● postgresql.service - PostgreSQL database server
   Loaded: loaded /usr/lib/systemd/system/postgresql.service


So I decided NOT to mess with the script (I'm a complete noob), but instead
I created a symbolic link to the actual file.

ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/postgresql.service /etc/init.d/postgresql


The script works now :)


My spacewalk host is running on CentOS 7 minimal.

Regards,
