For some reason the default cert we give to the Spacewalk installer is NOT giving the default (org1) any Monitoring slots.  This is causing some explosion in the code which expects the entitlement to at least be there in the db.

As I see our default cert does include slots:

[root@satellite ~]# grep monit /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn-entitlement-cert.xml
  <rhn-cert-field name="monitoring-slots">20000</rhn-cert-field>

Despite of this we're getting the original error message.

We were not adding the Monitoring entitlement since Monitoring is disabled by default but in Satellite is enabled by the installer.

Took out the code in rhn-satellite-activate that skips the Monitoring entitlement addition and the above problem goes away.

WORKAROUND:

* Login to Spacewalk GUI
* Click Spacewalk Tools at top
* Click Spacewalk Configuration
* Click Enable Monitoring (you will get an Internal Server Error, but continue)
* Go to your command line on the Spacewalk server and do "rhn-satellite-activate --disconnected"

This should resolve the above issue.

Even after following these steps I still receive the error.

Mike, unfortunately it doesn't work for me either.

Is there any way to assign entitlements to a sub org in the meantime, or is the web interface the only way?

Take a peek at:

/etc/rhn/rhn.conf

Does it say:

web.is_monitoring_backend = 1

If not set it to 1.  Then run:

rhn-satellite-activate --disconnected

And try again.  if that doesn't work let me know!

Sorry, didn't work.

Neither for me.

Is there anything else we can try or something we can do in the DB manually?

Appears to be fixed in spacewalk 0.2, moving to verified but sounds like users are still seeking a solution for spacewalk 0.1 installations.

I upgraded from 0.1 to 0.2 and the problem still exists.  Is there anything we can try?

Jason: Could you paste your latest stack trace? Just want to make sure I get the right line number for spacewalk 0.2 source to see if I can tell what might be happening in your db.

Could we expect any improvements? I've just upgraded to 0.3 and the error above still exists. Here's today's traceback:
