with the cobbler command I've got : exception on server: 'Invalid kickstart template file location /var/lib/rhn/kickstarts/wizard/server_test--1.cfg, it is not inside /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/'
I am running into the exact same issue however this time in Spacewalk 2.3. Dan
(In reply to xybal from comment #0) > Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): > Spacewalk 2.2 > cobbler-epel-2.0.11-49.el6.noarch > cobbler-2.6.8-1.el6.noarch New versions of cobbler are currently not supported (Spacewalk defaultly uses it's own patched version based on Cobbler 2.0) and bugs like this are expected.
Due to SElinux issues with cobbler from epel repository back in 2012, Spacewalk team (in an effort to keep Spacewalk working) was forced to package cobbler20 and maintain it in the Spacewalk repository. Spacewalk team also introduced empty cobbler-epel package to allow users to use (on their own) the cobbler from epel, but does not ensure Spacewalk will work with epel cobbler. Spacewalk team only ensures Spacewalk works with cobbler20 from Spacewalk repository. I'm closing this BZ as NOTABUG.
This BZ closed some time during 2.5, 2.6 or 2.7. Adding to 2.7 tracking bug.
