Hi Folk's,
I have been using spacewalk from past one year in my organization, but now due to a human mistake someone removed following packages from the spacewalk server:-
Sep 19 15:55:04 Erased: rhn-check
Sep 19 15:55:04 Erased: yum-rhn-plugin
Sep 19 15:55:04 Erased: rhn-setup
Sep 19 15:55:05 Erased: rhnsd
Sep 19 15:55:05 Erased: spacewalk-postgresql
Sep 19 15:55:05 Erased: spacewalk-common
Sep 19 15:55:05 Erased: osa-dispatcher-selinux
Sep 19 15:55:14 Erased: spacewalk-selinux
Sep 19 15:55:19 Erased: spacewalk-schema
Sep 19 15:55:19 Erased: spacewalk-setup
Sep 19 15:55:19 Erased: spacewalk-backend-tools
Sep 19 15:55:19 Erased: rhnpush
Sep 19 15:55:19 Erased: spacewalk-backend-app
Sep 19 15:55:19 Erased: spacewalk-backend-xmlrpc
Sep 19 15:55:19 Erased: spacewalk-certs-tools
Sep 19 15:55:19 Erased: rhn-client-tools
Sep 19 15:55:19 Erased: osa-dispatcher
Sep 19 15:55:19 Erased: spacewalk-backend-applet
Sep 19 15:55:19 Erased: spacewalk-backend-config-files
Sep 19 15:55:19 Erased: spacewalk-backend-config-files-tool
Sep 19 15:55:19 Erased: spacewalk-backend-config-files-common
Sep 19 15:55:19 Erased: spacewalk-backend-iss
Sep 19 15:55:19 Erased: spacewalk-backend-iss-export
Sep 19 15:55:19 Erased: spacewalk-backend-xml-export-libs
Sep 19 15:55:19 Erased: spacewalk-backend-package-push-server
Sep 19 15:55:19 Erased: spacewalk-backend-server
Sep 19 15:55:19 Erased: spacewalk-backend-sql
Sep 19 15:55:20 Erased: spacewalk-backend
Sep 19 15:55:20 Erased: rhnlib
Sep 19 15:55:20 Erased: rhn-org-httpd-ssl-key-pair-wa-sat-server
Sep 19 15:55:20 Erased: rhn-org-trusted-ssl-cert

Now I am unable to get the server certificate and httpd is not getting started:-
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 105 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:
SSLCertificateFile: file '/etc/pki/tls/certs/spacewalk.crt' does not exist or is empty
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â [FAILED]

Please let me know, is there any possibility to up this same setup or i need to reinstall everything??
I don't have any backups.

Well... It looks like your SSL cert has been deleted. You have to rebuild your SSL certificate, if you do not have a backup and... Maybe also redistribute you CA cert to your spacewalk clients.

Hello

My advice to you should be.

1. Imagining you are doing the backup via db-control

if yes,

1. Reinstall the machine using the same hostname
2. Reinstall the SW
3. Execute db-control to restore the DB backup

After that, all information will be there as before.

Another option could be restore any valid snapshot from this machine *if we
are talking about vm*.

Thanks Waldrino and Robert, I have resolved the issue, providing the information below, how i resolved it, so that it can help someone if he/she faces the same:-
1. Checked rhn_installation logs, in which i found that while installation all the certificates and other required RPMs wer backed up in /root/ssl-build directory.2. I copied the server.crt and server.key files from /root/ssl-build to apache ssl directory.3. Restarted httpd service.
And now my spacewalk is running.

Thanks for your support.
Regards,
Neeraj Tiwari

Hello

Cool. Just have in mind, a bunch of packages was removed, then now looks
like everything is working but you can face some issues on the future
*weird issues*, remember, this could be the root cause.

The best approach, in this case, to guarantee everything is fine should be
or VM snapshot or SW backup using db-control.

Have a good one.
