I'm getting an "ERROR: server.mount _point not set in t he configuration file" error when
I t ry to activate or synchronize t he Red Hat Satellite. How do I fix it?
An "ERROR: server.mount_point not set in the configuration file" error during Red Hat Satellite
activation or synchronization can occur if the mount_point configuration parameter in
/etc/rhn/rhn.conf does not point to a directory path, or the directory path it points to is not
present or does not have permission to access the directory.
To resolve the issue, check the value of the mount_point configuration parameter in
/etc/rhn/rhn.conf. If it set to the default value of /var/satellite, verify that the
/var/satellite and /var/satellite/redhat directories exist. For all values, check that
path to the file is accurate, and that the permissions are set correctly.
Why does cobbler check give an error saying that it needs a different version of yum -
utils?
Sometimes, running the cobbler check command can give an error similar to the following:
# cobbler check
The following potential problems were detected:
#0: yum-utils need to be at least version 1.1.17 for reposync -l, current
version is 1.1.16
This is a known issue in Cobbler's reposync package. The error is spurious and can be safely
ignored. T his error will be resolved in future versions of Red Hat Satellite.
I'm getting an "unsupported version" error when I try t o activate the Red Hat Satellite
cert ificate. How do I fix it?
If your Red Hat Satellite certificate has become corrupted, you could get one of the following errors:
ERROR: <Fault -2: 'unhandled internal exception: unsupported version: 96'>
RHN_PARENT: satellite.rhn.redhat.com
Error reported from RHN: <Fault -2: 'unhandled internal exception:
unsupported version: 115'>
ERROR: unhandled XMLRPC fault upon remote activation: <Fault -2:
'unhandled internal exception: unsupported version: 115'>
ERROR: <Fault -2: 'unhandled internal exception: unsupported version:
115'>
Invalid satellite certificate
To resolve this issue, contact Red Hat support services for a new certificate.
