[Spacewalk-list] Problems installing spacewalk server

[Brian Ross]

Waldirio, thanks for replying so promptly.

I was following the installation instructions at https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToInstall


I had carried out the step “yum install spacewalk-postgresql”



I then progressed to the step, “spacewalk-setup –disconnected”



As the ports which were required to be opened in the firewall step were already open.



As to “what was happening at the moment”, there was nothing else occurring as the server is largely inactive.  The only thing that /var/log/messages reports is that nrpe running under xinetd started and stopped.



Cheers



Brian

Hello Brian

Can you put what command's did you before this step ?

Btw you can check log files in /var/log/* and see what are happening in that moment.

Take care

I am attempting to install spacewalk but have encountered a problem.

I get to the point where the installation program, when using postgresql attempts to restart xinetd and tftpd services. All it does is hang, printing a series of little symbols on the screen continuously. I've let it running for four days and it still didn't go anyway.

The screen dump is:
