[Spacewalk-list] upgrade to 1.6 error -- login impossible

[Janet Houser]

Hi,

Our spacewalk server is running Centos 5.7 (2.6.18-274.17.1.el5) and was 
running vs. 1.3 (very old).  Over the last two
days I've upgraded the system from 1.3 to 1.4.  Then from 1.4 to 1.5 
following the instructions located at the links shown below:

https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToUpgrade14

https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToUpgrade15

The system seemed to upgrade fine.

This morning, I attempted an upgrade from 1.5 to 1.6 following the 
instructions provided below:

https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToUpgrade

After the upgrade, it seems that spacewalk does not start properly.  The 
errors that I get are:

Any assistance you can provide so that I can start spacewalk and login 
to the gui would be appreciated.

Thanks
