For information about other issues and workarounds, see Spacewalk for Oracle® Linux: Release Notes for Release 2.2
Use the rhn-proxy status command to find out which Spacewalk proxy services are not running correctly. If a service does not start correctly, this is usually due to incorrect configuration information being entered during installation.
Verify that the file
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid is owned by
root:apache and that its mode is set to 640.
