Hello


Did you upgraded your server recently?
I never had this error but I would guess that or you made an update without updating the schema, or there's a problem with your postgres database. Do you have a postgres DBA arround?

Hi all,

I keep getting the following error when i try to sync the EPEL repo with my spacewalk 2.7 install:

Importing packages:

My server is running CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks.

Good afternoon, all.

I've got what I think is a fairly standard methodology:  a set of release channels, that are cloned into local production channels in successive stages (dev -> qa -> production.)  This has been working fairly well for quite some time, with the exception of errata population.  I know I don't have a large installation, less than 300 client servers, and 273 distinct channels (including a sandbox set.)

Unfortunately, I have internal requirements to keep the channels fairly complete, i.e. not just the latest packages available during a channel cloning or rolling operation.  This does mean that spacewalk-clone-by-date really doesn't appear to work effectively.  And, in general, when we elect to roll content from one stage to the next, it's a complete "this point in time," all packages and errata that are currently there.  I'd like to be able to perform this content roll programmatically, rather than working through the web GUI with it's multitude of selections, clicks and confirmations.

Programmatically, I can get a list of packages from the clone_original channel without issue, and determine which packages are missing.  Calling channel.software.addPackages is pretty simple.

Errata.... That's turning out to be another story.  As all channels in use by client systems here are cloned channels, all errata should also be cloned as opposed to original, correct?  At least, from the standpoint of the original channel set creation through a cloning operation, all of the errata come in with a CL- advisory name.  Much like the package lists, I can get a list of errata from the clone_original, compare it against the current channel during a content roll operation, and determine which errata need to be clone.  It would seem that calling errata.clone into the target channel would be appropriate.  That's turning out to not be the case.  I have a rather serious issue where errata cover multiple major distribution releases.  The original errata get populated properly into the appropriate release channels, and only the proper packages for that that particular distribution release show up in that channel.  However, if I clone that errata into a channel cloned from that re
 lease channel, all packages get copied into that clone channel.  For example, an errata notice might cover an EL6 and an EL7 (derived) release.   The release/source channels will only contain the .el6 packages.  However, the dev-* clone channels after a channel roll operation now contain the .el7 packages referenced in that errata notice.

Is errata.clone behaving as intended (I'm fairly sure it is?)  Is there some other RPC API function call I should be using?

Hi Everyone,

Where can I follow for official news regarding support for Ubuntu 16.04 clients? From what I can tell, it's not quite doable yet.

Best Regards,

Lai Wei-Hwa

We're having a vexing issue with a new Spacewalk 2.6 installation.

We've made it a slave to a master (security reasons; only one SW is exposed to the Internet) and have everything synchronized and communicating successfully.  But when we try to do an update or install with yum, we get a 404 error like this:

Error downloading packages:
  nss-tools-3.28.4-8.el7.x86_64: failed to retrieve getPackage/nss-tools-3.28.4-8.el7.x86_64.rpm from our_repo

I find errors get logged in /var/log/httpd/error_log simultaneously like this:

[Mon Dec 18 20:02:31.638648 2017] [:error] [pid 53696] Spacewalk 53696 2017/12/18 20:02:31 +01:00: WARNING: log path not found; attempting to create /var/log/rhn [Mon Dec 18 20:02:31.638680 2017] [:error] [pid 53696] Spacewalk 53696 2017/12/18 20:02:31 +01:00: (None, None) [Mon Dec 18 20:02:31.638810 2017] [:error] [pid 53696] Spacewalk 53696 2017/12/18 20:02:31 +01:00: ERROR: unable to create log file path /var/log/rhn [Mon Dec 18 20:02:31.638837 2017] [:error] [pid 53696] Spacewalk 53696 2017/12/18 20:02:31 +01:00: (<type 'exceptions.OSError'>, OSError(13, 'Permission denied'))

Of course, /var/log/rhn exists and has proper permissions.  I even set permissions to 777 just in case with no positive effect.

One other possible clue: in /var/log/rhn/rhn_taskomatic_daemon.log I found this:

INFO   | jvm 1    | 2017/12/18 20:06:32 | com.mchange.v2.cfg.DelayedLogItem [ level -> FINE, text -> "The configuration file for resource identifier '/mchange-commons.properties' could not be found. Skipping.", exception -> java.io.FileNotFoundException: Resource not found at path '/mchange-commons.properties'.]

And in Googling that I found an unreplied post here that says:
--
Tomcat6 is having a problem finding mchange-commons when it's starting up which causes the web / api interface to fail, causing other parts of spacewalk to fail to initialize.

How / where can I get the mchange-commons installed and linked properly so that tomcat will be able to start?
--

So, in summary:
- Spacewalk set up as slave
- Clients can see SW
- SW knows which systems need upgrades
- Upgrades or installs fail with 404 error
