Re: [Spacewalk-list] Error connecting to jabber

[Wilkinson, Matthew]

OK I actually figured it out. It was indeed SELinux that was preventing jabber 
from connecting to the UNIX socket. 
What's strange, though, is that the syslog never showed me the messages until I 
rebooted into Permissive mode. 

After I did that, I got the SELinux warnings that sm and c2s were being 
prevented from "connectto" access to the unix_steam_socket on 
/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432

After I ran the suggested fix command:

setsebool -P daemons_enable_cluster_mode 1

And rebooted again back into enforcing mode, jabber was able to start using 
pgsql. 

Thanks for the help all.

Yes, the blog post was written on OL7. Can you email me your sm.xml and 
pg_hba.conf files directly so I can take a look at your configuration and 
compare it to mine? Also, if SElinux is enabled, see if disabling it resolves 
the issue.

Cheers,
Avi

P.S. I’m out of the office for the rest of the day, so I’ll probably only get a 
chance to look at any replies tomorrow.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Error connecting to jabber

[Wilkinson, Matthew]

Ok thanks Avi. I read your blog post and was able to successfully configure 
jabberd to use postgres on my OL 6 box. However, I wasn't able to get it to 
work on an OL 7 box. I keep getting this in my syslog:

May 31 15:36:34  jabberd/sm[21956]: pgsql: connection to 
database failed: could not connect to server: Permission denied#012#011Is the 
server running locally and accepting#012#011connections on Unix domain socket 
"/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

Mind you, I can indeed connect using jabberd2 user via the psql command just 
fine. 

No matter what I do to ensure the jabberd2 user has rights/grants and no matter 
what I do to allow the user to connect via the pg_hba.conf I can't get jabberd 
to start on OL 7 after configuring it for pgsql. 

Did you get it working on OL 7?

It does cause very minor problems: during the upgrade, when you re-run 
spacewalk-setup --upgrade, it’ll reset the config back to “db” (or “sqlite” in 
2.7). It doesn’t retain the current setting, but it does retain the db-specific 
configuration.  You’ll need to re-edit the two files and switch them back to 
pgsql before starting the Spacewalk services.

I keep meaning to either log an issue or fix this, but I always seem to have 
something else on my plate.

Avi

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Error connecting to jabber

[Wilkinson, Matthew]

Awesome thank you so much! I'm going to look into this. Does this cause any 
problems with upgrades from one minor version of Spacewalk to another? Or do 
the configs remain persistent and work after updates/upgrades?

While I agree that sqlite is better than berkeleydb why not make PostgreSQL the 
default if the PostgreSQL database is already being set up during installation 
( ie spacewalk-setup-postgresql is called ) Our modest installation (roughly 80 
clients) still wasn't rock solid using sqlite (instead of crashing almost daily 
it became a 'once a month' thing where the DB got corrupted), only after moving 
to PostgreSQL do we now have an osa-dispatcher/jabber/osad setup which requires 
virtually no maintenance and is pretty much crash-proof.

[Spacewalk-list] Antwort: Re: Error connecting to jabber

[Matthias Gruber]

Hi!

We also switched fast after the installation of 2.5 to sqlite, berkeley 
was quite bad, well even the sqlite sometimes has problems, we have a lot 
of Proxy-Server and several hundered of clients
I am thinking of moving to the postgres, but dont have the time at the 
moment

cheers

I fixed it. Turns out I had to use the /etc/pki/spacewalk/jabberd/server.pem

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Error connecting to jabber

[Fouts, Christopher]

Step 4 on https://github.com/spacewalkproject/spacewalk/wiki/JabberAndOSAD says 
“4.  Within /etc/jabberd/server.pem, verify that the same FQDN is present 
here.”  However my server.pem file doesn’t have FQDN section, only the 
BEGIN/END PRIVATE KEY and BEGIN/END CERTIFICATE parts. Are the instructions 
outdated? If not, how do I re-generate my server.pem file?

BTW in nightly version (upcomming 2.7) we've changed default jabberd backend 
from berkeleydb to sqlite which seems to be more reliable.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Pinning package version?

[Paul Robert Marino]

Actually you can do it easily from the client side
Look at yum-versionlock it's a plug in for yum
And you can deploy it's configuration through Spacewalk configuration 
management or via a remote command

Hi Chris,

There's actually no straightforward way. You have to remove all other
versions of package from channel and/or setup repository filter not to
sync them again.

Hi Chris,
