[Spacewalk-list] Issue installing 2.7 on RHEL 7

[Eric]

Hi, thanks for the response, it is very much appreciated!


I started over completely, built fresh RHEL 7. 4  Followed directions
exactly, zero deviation from published wiki, installation failed
(install db log output at bottom).

That error is identical to the bug report filed in bugzilla
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=903487

That is a very very old bug, and following the steps in this bug report
resolved it.  But why? 


Still also stuck on the rhnlib error. 

I've built it out now 3 times on RHEL 7.4 on fresh installs.  Same
errors.  I do not understand how others have built on RHEL 7 and not
seen the createlang bug?  The error message, and resolution, are nearly
the same as the bug report for Spacewalk <1.9 -- I commented out the
createlang piece since plpgsql is already there..so it doesn't fail.

As far as rhnlib.....my system pulled in the rhnlib package in the
spacewalk27 repo as a dependency.  Should that not be the case?  Should
I remove that and install the rhnlib package from Redhat? 







Note: Forwarding request to 'systemctl enable postgresql.service'.

Created symlink from
/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/postgresql.service to
/usr/lib/systemd/system/postgresql.service.

Hint: the preferred way to do this is now "postgresql-setup initdb"

Initializing database ... OK

 

/usr/bin/spacewalk-setup-postgresql: line 165: [: 018446744073692774399:
integer expression expected

Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start postgresql.service

^[[3;J^[[H^[[2Jcreatelang: language "plpgsql" is already installed in
database "spacewalkschema"
