[Spacewalk-list] Registering RHEL5 based system to Spacewalk

[Finnur Örn Guðmundsson - TM Software]

Hi,

After installing and configuring a Spacewalk server i had some issues with register a client to the Spacewalk server.

I used the client utilities from the RHEL5-Server channel from RHN. However i was unable to register the system until i installed the rhel-instnum package to the Spacewalk system. (Credit goes to robs_ @ FreeNode for the help!).

Errors from the Spacewalk server before installing rhel-instnum:

2008/06/22 16:05:50 -00:00 4105 217.X.X.19: rhnSQL/int_oracle.connect('Connecting to database', 'xe')
2008/06/22 16:07:46 -00:00 4107 217.X.X.19: server/rhnImport.load('ERROR', 'Error importing xmlrpc: No module named instnum')
2008/06/22 16:07:46 -00:00 4107 217.X.X.19: rhnSQL/int_oracle.connect('Connecting to database', 'xe')
2008/06/22 16:08:02 -00:00 4108 217.X.X.19: server/rhnImport.load('ERROR', 'Error importing xmlrpc: No module named instnum')

Errors from the client system (/var/log/up2date):
[Sun Jun 22 21:32:24 2008] up2date Error communicating with server. The message was:
While running 'registration.welcome_message': caught
exceptions.KeyError : 'xmlrpc'

    raise self.__exception_from_fault(f)

Hope this helps.
