Problem by starting rhn_register

thomas2004ch · 09-07-2010, 06:58 AM

I got a new virtual machine (VMWare) with Red-hat LINUX 5 installed. As I try to start the rhn_register I got error as follow:

Code:

[root@s003ap03-test ~]# rhn_register
There was an SSL error: []
A common cause of this error is the system time being incorrect. Verify that the time on this system is correct.
[root@s003ap03-test ~]#

What could be the problem?

Well, according to the error message, the time is wrong. Did you check it? Is it?? If so, fix it and continue.

And since you're using RHEL, you're paying for support from RedHat. They would be the best people to call about a RedHat network problem.
