In centos 7.2, using

[root at vmpr-res-utils 16.05-rc2]# yum whatprovides rhnpush

rhnpush-5.5.89-1.el7.noarch : Package uploader for the Spacewalk or Red Hat
Satellite Server

ERROR: unhandled exception occurred: (mismatched tag: line 164, column 2).

No logs are created at all (I've deleted them all and checked).

There is a log in /var/log/tomcat/localhost_access_{date}.txt

::1 - - [20/May/2016:13:29:49 +1000] "GET /rhn/errors/500.jsp HTTP/1.1" 302

200 5967


Note here that it's defaulting to IPv6 address.

If I use the fqdn/hostname (same thing) I get it using the ipv4, same
problem:

/rhn/Login.do?url_bounce=/rhn/errors/500.jsp&request_method=POST HTTP/1.1"
200 5967


Note that the username and password are correct - I've tested 100 times,
and I'm also logged into the website, *using the same credentials*.

Further frustration is caused by the fact that I have it working on another
server (and another domain/ip range), which was set up identically, runs
the same software, and it works.

....

OK, I tried to add the server to itself as a system with

rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=https://server/XMLRPC
--sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT --activationkey=1-x

and that also failed.

Then I went into /var/log/up2date and noticed that the error was the same:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks", line 216, in <module>

which lead me to this:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1277623

but both of my systems have

python-debian-0.1.27-3.el7.noarch and python-six-1.9.0-2.el7.noarch

I'm reticent to downgrade since I don't know what else that will affect,
and it's *working* on one of the servers without the downgrade?

I saw this reddit thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/spacewalk/comments/3vnquh/centos_71_spacewalk_24_no_go/

but I wont try the solution(s) in the last comment bc both files in both
systems are currently the same, so they are obv not the issue.


I tried the patch shown here:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2015-November/msg00108.html

But it just output a whole bunch of blather - looks like something is being
chomped though - either time out or buffer length or...?
