Generally, the spacewalk-setup will restart all the services and then
wait some more for tomcat to finish its startup, and do some GET
requests to see if it can get to that tomcat (via httpd). Sometimes,
especially if you try this on a virtual machine with low memory or
similar setup, it will give up before the tomcat finished starting but
maybe it finished a bit later. Could you check if the catalina.out has
line similar to
INFO: Server startup in 20553 ms
and if you can get to the Spacewalk WebUI via browser?

Could you be more specific about what you are trying to do and what
results you get?

I'm not sure what prerequisites you have it mind. If you do a fresh
install of Spacewalk 0.4,
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToInstall
is the primary source of information, and it served me well in the
past.
