RHEL 6, Spacewalk 2.3 unable to download RHEL 5 repo data
Hello all, I am having a bit of an issue on my Spacewalk installation. Some amplifying information is that it is Spacewalk 2.3 installed on a RHEL 6 machine and I am attempting to install/update a RHEL 5 channel/repository. I am fairly new to Spacewalk so I am still learning but this is what I have so far.
I think I understand that in order to download RHEL 5 repository data (in particular rhel-x86_64-Server-5) to Spacewalk on a RHEL 6 host i need to use mrepo.
I have installed and configured mrepo 0.8.7
I have installed createrepo 0.9.9
Here is the error I get when I try to update the repo by running:
Any help in resolving this error would be greatly appreciated because I have been spinning in circles for a short time now.
OR
If anyone knows a better way to update RHN repos using Spacewalk please post it! Like I said I am still fairly green with Spacewalk.

Reason: Add CODE and ICODE tags.
I'm not the best on this myself, but as patching is a subscription service and you are putting together a Satellite Server, I presume that you are paying RH, and as such they are best placed to help you directly.
Sorry to be a little dismissive, but I'm rather green with it too. I inherited one and I've broken it in different ways twice - and RH helped me recover.
Yes we have a fairly large RHN subscription at the office here, I never even thought about asking them since Spacewalk is opensource. I figured they would try to sell me on Satellite instead of help me. I will give them a call.
I know this question might have been asked a lot but couldn't find anything that worked. From a windows machine 'A' I can only SSH into Linux server 'B' from where I can SSH into another Linux server 'C'. I need to be able to run GUI interfaces on server C which run on my Windows machine. I... (3 Replies)

I worked all night on creating an RHEL 7 template customized for our private cloud and almost had it ready. While doing the final part, enabling GDM, I made the blunder of disabling SELINUX. Now I am not able to re-enable or put into permissive mode again. Earlier, when this happened on RHEL 6... (3 Replies)

Hi,
I have installed mpif77 (a parallel wrapper for the fortran compiler g77) on my dual processor dual core workstation which has RHEL 4 as OS. This compiles and runs just fine.
