From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.0-0.99.11 i586) I just installed fisher. The first thing I wanted to do was run up2date. I ran the rhn registration and entered my rhn login/pass to complete the wizard. When I ran up2date, I got this error: There was a fatal error communicating with the server. The message was: Invalid server certificate Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run up2date 2. Click Next on the first dialog. Actual Results: I get this error: There was a fatal error communicating with the server. The message was: Invalid server certificate Expected Results: I shouldn't get the above error and up2date should communicate with the server.
The up2date servers provided for the beta are different than the standard up2date servers. These support anonymous registration only, are hosted on a different set of machines, and only have the package sets for 7.0 and the beta. Oh, and the server code is a new version as well (figured we'd might as well test the beta code with the beta ;->)<p> To use `up2date` with the beta, you need to run: up2date -r This will create an anonymous registration for up2date. The Red Hat Network functionality is not supported for the beta. Only the up2date fucntionality is supported. This is covered in the release notes (though admittedly, not in as much detail as I would have liked....)
I get similar results but my message is: There was a fatal error communicating with the server. The message was: Connection refused
I receive the following... There was a fatal error communicating with the server. The message was: Invalid Architecture and OS release combination.
"Invalid Architecture and OS release combination" typically means that you have a /etc/sysconfig/rhn/system_id from a previous registration that that indicates a not supported release. You probabaly need to rerigster with: up2date -r Also, verify that your "redhat-release" package is accurate, as the version of that package is how up2date determines what release you are running.
connection refused came from a period of time when the RHN servers were having a problem, since corrected. If you have an "old" systemid, you need to remove it or back it up while using the beta, and run up2date -r to create an anonymous system profile for your Fisher Beta install.
