I've tried IRC channels for CentOS and Cobbler and have yet to get the help I need for my current issue.
Using the EPEL Repository, I went in and installed Cobbler to my DHCP/Gateway box. Everything went smoothly on the installation front. I went ahead and modified the cobbler settings file (/etc/cobbler/settings) to point to my server IP (same box), and then got tftp running properly. Now here's the problem.
Normally, you need to run `cobbler check` to find issues and correct them. I run that, and all I get is blank. Nothing. It just hangs at the prompt until I kill it using CTRL+C. When I CTRL+C from the hanging, it states "cobblerd does not appear to be running/accessible"...
Code:
[root@PalaceRedirect ~]# service cobblerd status
cobblerd (pid 6991) is running...
[root@PalaceRedirect ~]#
A friend who uses Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 has everything running smoothly, and he went into my machine and did the same steps he did on his own system, starting over from what I did. Still, same issue. Just sits there and hangs.
So, I went ahead and did strace -p (pid) on the PID that had cobbler running. And this is what I would get...
Code:
[root@PalaceRedirect tmp]# strace -p 6991
Process 6991 attached - interrupt to quit
accept(17,
...
[root@PalaceRedirect tmp]# strace -p 7011
Process 7011 attached - interrupt to quit
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(25151), sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16
I can't seem to decipher what's happening right here.
Perhaps someone can point my in the right direction, because I'm really stumped.
Code:
[root@PalaceRedirect tmp]# getenforce
