[Spacewalk-list] Taskomatic won't start. White spaces are required between publicId and systemId

[Arnar Gunnarsson]

I'm wondering if anyone can help me with a rather strange error that's
preventing Taskomatic to start up on a brand new Spacewalk-2.4 install on a
CentOS-7 server.

The only non-standard thing I'm doing is I'm running PostgreSQL 9.4 (from
the PG yum repo) locally on the machine instead of the 9.2 version that's
included by default in CentOS 7.

All other services start without problems as verified by "spacewalk-service
status".

The error I'm seeing is a Java error that is originating from
/usr/share/java/xerces-j2.jar and is supposedly cast when it receives a
malformed XML file to process. The error is in question is "[Fatal Error]
:1:50: White spaces are required between publicId and systemId."

Here is the whole contents of /var/log/rhn/rhn_taskomatic.log

Red Hat seems to have a solution to this error, but it's locked behind
their paywall.
