[Spacewalk-list] Cert / activation problem

[Jean-Baptiste Barth]

Hi there,

I'm trying to setup spacewalk 0.3 on a RHEL 5.2 32bits. I followed steps
described here :
https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToInstall and here :
https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/spacewalk/wiki/OracleXeSetup ; I use Oracle
XE (rpm: oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.0).

Everything goes ok til "spacewalk-setup --disconnected" step, where I get
this error :
    ** Verifying certificate locally.
    ** Activating Satellite.
    There was a problem activating the satellite: Local activation failure.

Then I tried to generate my own cert as suggested in the wiki, but the
gen-oss-sat-sert.pl script failed because of "compute_signature" no more
supported. It seems to be the same problem as described here :
http://www.mail-archive.com/spacewalk-list@redhat.com/msg00740.html

Someone on the irc channel #spacewalk at freenode told me I could use the
default certificate spacewalk-public.cert, which would be ok for me.
I ran a "rhn-satellite-activate --disconnected
--rhn-cert=/usr/share/spacewalk/setup/spacewalk-public.cert" but it failed
with an Oracle-related error, see attachment for the trace.

We spent a moment trying to understand the problem (many thanks to him) but
didn't found a solution.
Database is working correctly (tested with a sqlplus connection) and it has
already been populated by spacewalk-setup.
/etc/rhn/rhn.conf seems to be ok.

Does anyone have an idea to get spacewalk run, solving one problem or the
other ?
Thanks in advance,
