Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 451917
can't update the configuration
Last modified: 2009-09-17 02:59:16 EDT
Description of problem: When I logged in into the WebUI for the first time after creation of the account I was asked to continue with configuring the other configuration options inside https://server/rhn/admin/config/GeneralConfig.do And when I pressed update button it said An error occurred and your satellite configuration changes could not be stored. When I looked into /var/log/secure I found this server sudo: tomcat : sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo ; TTY=unknown ; PWD=/usr/share/tomcat5 ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/rhn-config-satellite.pl --target=/etc/rhn/rhn.conf --option=server.satellite.http_proxy_username= --option=server.satellite.http_proxy= --option=mount_point=/var/satellite --option=kickstart_mount_point=/var/satellite --option=server.satellite.http_proxy_password= 2>&1 > /dev/null Looks like it's trying to run the command via sudo but TTY is not set. Thanks Deependra Singh Shekhawat
The Spacewalk server should have both config entries within it, along with I assume apache running as apache user, and tomcat5 running as tomcat user. http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=spacewalk.git;a=tree;f=satellite/install/Spacewalk-Setup/share;h=3653c26b6fb5e8903cb0acc727cbed9056df3c65;hb=master sudoers.base sudoers.rhn If this content is missing, then I would expect it to fail. Since the installer was recently modified, if could be a bug not putting the content into /etc/sudoers correctly. (or change in sudo in F9 compared to RHEL 4). Cliff.
Following two lines need to be present in /etc/sudoers for the things to work properly (i.e. apache and tomcat users being able to run stuff via sudo even without a real tty): Defaults:tomcat !requiretty Defaults:apache !requiretty
Fix commited to git: 54a22bab4bfe3273b8c84417d79b331c14ac4589
Verified against spacewalk 0.2.

Spacewalk is released for long time.
