Description of problem: If the root user's environment variables are set incorrectly so that the $PATH variable does not point to important tools such as chkconfig and service, the Satellite installer will eventually bomb with a cryptic error message. In the example I saw, this crypic message was related to the database being inaccessible from localhost, as the actual service was not started on account of the service program not being in the $PATH. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite 500 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a clean RHEL box and munge the $PATH environment variable 2. Attempt to run the install.pl installer as you would normally Actual results: Installer bombs with a cryptic error message Expected results: Installer exits gracefully, telling the user to fix their bash environment Additional info:
