On stock beta3, when I run rhn_register, it reports: A protocol error occured: Internal Server Error , attempt #1 A protocol error occured: Internal Server Error , attempt #2 on STDOUT. However, it appears to have registered correctly since I am then allowed to up2date.... In case it helps hunt down the session which generated this, I registered a system called station11 at ~12:30 pm MDT. The username and email for it were kaboom
I'll take a look at the server logs on beta and see what pops up. Typically, we retried socket and server related errors 5 times before failing, so just having two errors would seem to indicate a transient failure. Could of been db issues (were currently doing lots of odd things to that db, and internal server errors are a pretty typical results of that...) Hopefully the db issues will quite down soon, so I can be more sure of this kind of errors.
This defect is considered SHOULD-FIX for Fairfax.
Have you seen this happen again since? The code is designed to be resilent to temporary network errors, which appears to be the case here.
I haven't seen it again
Closing this out then.
