Need help to setup Spacewalk
Hello,
I am working onto setup a spacewalk as our centralized repository and kickstart server for our all centos servers. We have almost 60-70 servers running inhouse which all are on CentOS 5 or 6 x64.
I am able to setup a spacewalk server on CentOS 6.5 x64 and able to access the console as well.
But the issue is that i am not able to setup repository over here. I tried to create channel and repository and after sync Now the repo is not downloading packages on spacewalk and due to this issue am stuck in between and seeking help to resolve the same.
If somebody let me know that i am missing in configuration here.
Thanks in advance

Any help is appreciated. (1 Reply)
