RE: can't get rhn_register (and therefore client s) working

Ryan,

Please check the contents of the files /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn_register and
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date.
They should contain http://lada:080/XMLRPC and http://lada:8081/XMLRPC
rather than references to redhat

Regards
Asbjorn

Subject: [Current-server] can't get rhn_register (and therefore clients)
working


I recently setup current on a development machine at work and got it running
after a few minor problems (all to do with RHNS-CA-CERT).  I setup a few
up2date clients to use my server and everything worked and continues to work
no problem.

I figured it was time to slowly roll this out into production, and spent the
better half of yesterday trying to get it to work.  I installed current
exactly the way that I did on my development machine, built a brand new
redhat 7.2 machine, configured it to use my new current server, attempted to
run rhn_register and ran into problems.

I get the following error 5 times and see 0 activity in the current logfile.

A socket error occured: SSL_connect error, attempt #1-5

I have attempted everything from matching permissions exactly with my
working current server, generating a new certificate, completely
re-installing current from scratch.  I have created the following in hopes
that someone can help me figure this one out.


Directory listing on the client/server of RHNS-CA-CERT
http://speedo.ca/current/certs.txt

My current.conf file
http://speedo.ca/current/current.conf

the output of netstat -nlp on the server
http://speedo.ca/current/netstat.txt

the output of ps -ewxf on the server
http://speedo.ca/current/ps.txt

the rhn_register config file from my client
http://speedo.ca/current/rhn_register.cfg

the output of strace rhn_register from my client (hopefully this can be of a
little use)
http://speedo.ca/current/strace.txt

the output of a tcpdump on the server (you can see traffic on port 8081)
http://speedo.ca/current/tcpdump.txt

a list of the relevant packages on the server
http://speedo.ca/current/servpkg.txt

a directory listing of the package database on the server
http://speedo.ca/current/pkgdb.txt

If there's any other information that may be needed to figure this one out,
let me know, I hope I have provided enough.

Thanks in advance,
Ryan
