[Spacewalk-list] "bad HTTP response code" when kickstartingCentOS 5.2

[Willem Bos]

Hi James,

I just checked /var/log/tomcat5/catalina.out and it contains errors :

2008-11-18 15:36:03,700 [TP-Processor6] ERROR
com.redhat.rhn.manager.kickstart.KickstartScheduleCommand - Tools channel
not found!  This means we can't find the rhn-kickstart package.

2008-11-18 15:36:03,707 [TP-Processor6] ERROR
com.redhat.rhn.common.errors.PermissionExceptionHandler - Permission Error
com.redhat.rhn.common.security.PermissionException: The activation key
'1-1b5ded8329c9661f44cfc5656fca7a50' needs  provisioning capabilities to be
able to facilitate  the config channel functionality

Now, I'm new to Spacewalk so I'll have to check te manual. I'll probably get
to that tomorrow.

Regards,
Willem.
