Comment 1 Josef Komenda 2002-08-23 20:07:07 UTC

Trying to push for these to get closed asap, so bumping to high priority.

Comment 2 Mihai Ibanescu 2002-08-23 23:17:34 UTC

Permissions problem?
Can you give me a ls -l on /var/satellite please?

Comment 3 Josef Komenda 2002-08-26 14:59:12 UTC

There is no /var/satellite/ 
in fact, there is no /satellite directory:

Comment 4 Mihai Ibanescu 2002-08-26 16:07:19 UTC

Again, who was supposed to create /var/satellite? Isn't the installer supposed
to do that?

This is the directory where the import AND rhnpush will put packages; somebody
has to create it first 'cause rhnpush can't (since it runs as apache). I know
satellite-sync does, but I thought we said the satellite installer is gonna
create it instead.

Comment 5 Josef Komenda 2002-08-26 20:02:08 UTC

[root@sat-inst root]# mkdir /var/satellite
[root@sat-inst root]# chown apache.apache /var/satellite/
[root@sat-inst root]# rhnpush -v
--server=http://sat-inst.webdev-colo.redhat.com/APP -u sat-inst -c channel1

Internal Server Error

Despite the 'Internal Server Error', it works - I can upload the package.
perhaps rhnpush should make the /var/satellite directory...

Comment 6 Mihai Ibanescu 2002-08-26 20:07:46 UTC

rhnpush can't, because it talks to an Apache service, which runs (of course) as
apache.apache.

Comment 7 Josef Komenda 2002-08-27 01:06:54 UTC

Ok, which package should handle this? Who should decide?

Comment 8 Josef Komenda 2002-08-28 17:19:47 UTC

Fixed - just make sure you load a channel first, or else:

  mkdir /var/satellite
  chown apache.apache /var/satellite
