[ale] Spacewalk 404 error

[Jim Kinney]

I'm assuming you've installed this from the released spacewalk repo and not
a compiled on your own horrific nightmare.

As this is on a RHEL6.2 system the first test is to see if the installation
poked up a bozo selinux error on install so run setenforce=0 and try
loading the page again. If it works, file a bug report and check for an
update to selinux-policy-targeted.

There is no file "rhn" in spacewalk. It is a generated "listener" page
frontend to the tomcat mess. So tomcat is not listening at the correct
location. Easiest solution, since you don't have a running spacewalk, is to
uninstall the mess and do it again. Be sure to follow the steps verbatim on
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToInstall. I was running 1.6
PostgreSQL Spacewalk nightlies in a test rig earlier and it worked on
Tuesdays and alternate even/odd days :-). It does sound like you have some
issues with your tomcat setup so be sure to install all the add-on repos.
After that, it really should "JustWork".

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
