Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 143153
Several ugly error messages printed during successful rhn_register
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:06:54 EST
Description of problem: I installed RHEL2.1 update 5 (not 6) on an rx4640 server which was configured behind our firewall. After install, I ran "rhn_register --config" and got a menu with 4 items, one of which was "httpProxy" (I didn't see an "enableHttpProxy" like RHEL3 gives), I entered our proxy-server and continued on. Hardware and software was correctly identified, and during the "sending information to RHN" screen, I got lots of error messages spewed on the serial console, followed by "failed to login" message, and then got a "Registration successful" splash screen. It's confusing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL 2.1 update 5 Actual results: printed 4 (maybe 5, I cannot tell) of the following pairs of lines (spewed on serial console): We are out of serverUrl's to try. We tried: https://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC and at the very end: Error logging into RHN ... followed by the "Registration successful" splash-screen
