[Spacewalk-list] Issue installing 2.7 on RHEL 7

[Jiří Dostál]

Eric,

I've just successfully installed spacewalk-2.7 on RHEL-7.4. I've had a 
clean system and have been following instructions on GitHub.

According to

"So I believe that in order to get where I need to be......I need to
clear out the old db info somehow, and get it to rerun the installer
correctly."

I assume you had spacewalk in different version installed before?

Thank you,

Jiri
