Installation guide

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain.com localhost

Then, save the file and attempt to re-run the Red Hat Network client applications or the Apache

Web server. If they still fail, explicitly identify the IP address of the Satellite in the file, such as:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain.com localhost

123.45.67.8 this_machine.example.com this_machine

Replace the value here with the actual IP address of the Satellite. This should resolve the problem.

Keep in mind, if the specific IP address is stipulated, the file will need to be updated when the

machine obtains a new address.

I'm getting a "T his server is not an ent it led Satellite" when I try to synchronize the Red

Hat Satellite server. How do fix it?

If satellite-sync reports that the server is not activated as a Red Hat Satellite, it isn't

subscribed to the respective Red Hat Satellite channel. If this is a newly installed system, make

sure that the satellite certificate is activated on the system. If it was activated earlier, then it has

become deactivated.

Check the system's child channels to discover if it is subscribed to any Red Hat Network Red Hat

Satellite channel. View subscribed channels with the following command:

# yum repolist

Activate the same Satellite certificate again on your Satellite using this command as the root user:

# rhn-satellite-activate -vvv --rhn-cert=/path/to/certificate

5.7. Web Interface

I'm having problems with t he Red Hat Satellit e user interface. Which log files should I

check?

If you experience errors viewing, scheduling, or working with kickstarts in the Red Hat Satellite user

interface, check the /var/log/tom cat6/catalina.out log file.

For all other user interface errors, check the /var/log/httpd/error_log log file.

5.8. Anaconda

I'm getting an error that says Error downloading kickstart file. What is the

problem and how do I fix it?

This error is usually the result of a network issue. To locate the problem, run the cobbler

check command, and read the output, which should look something like this:
