I am having a bit of trouble setting up cobbler on this machine.
cobbler check points out a few things to correct:
[root@VIRTCENT04:~]#cobbler check
The following are potential configuration items that you may want to fix:
1 : you need to set some SELinux content rules to ensure cobbler
serves content correctly in your SELinux environment, run the
following: /usr/sbin/semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t
"/tftpboot/.*" && /usr/sbin/semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t
"/var/www/cobbler/images/.*"
2 : you need to set some SELinux rules if you want to use cobbler-web
(an optional package), run the following: /usr/sbin/semanage fcontext
-a -t httpd_sys_content_rw_t "/var/lib/cobbler/webui_sessions/.*"
3 : some network boot-loaders are missing from
/var/lib/cobbler/loaders, you may run 'cobbler get-loaders' to
download them, or, if you only want to handle x86/x86_64 netbooting,
you may ensure that you have installed a *recent* version of the
syslinux package installed and can ignore this message entirely.
Files in this directory, should you want to support all architectures,
should include pxelinux.0, menu.c32, elilo.efi, and yaboot. The
'cobbler get-loaders' command is the easiest way to resolve these
requirements.
4 : since iptables may be running, ensure 69, 80, and 25151 are unblocked
5 : debmirror package is not installed, it will be required to manage
debian deployments and repositories
6 : The default password used by the sample templates for newly
installed machines (default_password_crypted in /etc/cobbler/settings)
is still set to 'cobbler' and should be changed, try: "openssl passwd
-1 -salt 'random-phrase-here' 'your-password-here'" to generate new
one
Restart cobblerd and then run 'cobbler sync' to apply changes.
I try to apply the first suggestion:
[root@VIRTCENT04:~]#/usr/sbin/semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t
"/tftpboot/.*" && /usr/sbin/semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t
"/var/www/cobbler/images/.*"
/usr/sbin/semanage: File context for /tftpboot/.* already defined
And the system points out that the rules are already defined by semanage.
the cobbler service restarts:
[root@VIRTCENT04:~]#service cobblerd restart
Stopping cobbler daemon: [ OK ]
Starting cobbler daemon: [ OK ]
[root@VIRTCENT04:~]#SERVING!
[root@VIRTCENT04:~]#cobbler check

same thing... what can I do to get beyond this infinite loop?

GPG me!!
cobbler fails to recognize semanage rules
