Description
Need Real Name
2002-10-15 12:48:34 UTC
The faq is slightly out of date - xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com is correct. I've updated the FAQ. Please try again, with a different username. No joy (I had tried that anyway prior to raising the problem). Have subsequently tried again - no joy. Additional points of interest: 1) rhn_register --configure (suggested in the FAQ) is not found on my system (clean install) . . . where is this ? . . . 2) the privacy statement is a blank page (no text at all in the box) within the wizard . . . anything else I can check on this end ? You may also want to check the system's date. SSL is subject to failures if big time skews occur. If this does not help either, please paste the output of: /usr/sbin/stunnel -r xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com:443 -cf -v 2 -A /usr/share/rhn/RHNS-CA-CERT (one line, of course). This might give us an indication of what can be wrong. Per suggestion: /usr/sbin/stunnel -r xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com:443 -cf -v 2 -A /usr/share/rhn/RHNS-CA-CERT 2002.10.26 06:35:14 LOG3[11454:8192]: gethostbyname: Resource temporarily unavailable (11) also tried (per new FAQ): - make sure that your system can communicate with RHN via SSL (port 443). telnet xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com 443 telnet: xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com: Temporary failure in name resolution xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com: Host name lookup failure accessing xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com in mozilla works file (returns "Red Hat Network" Clearly DNS problems. Check your /etc/resolv.conf for 'nameserver' lines, make sure the name servers listed there are valid, try 'telnet xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com 443' again. Correct . . . was dns issues. Running Winroute on the gateway and all is now well. Many thanks for the suggestions / information. |
