DebuggingProxy
== Debugging Proxy ==
A few pointers for issues you might run into with Proxy:
Useful log files:
- /var/log/httpd/* - Apache logs
- /var/log/squid/* - Squid logs
- /var/log/rhn/rhn_proxy_broker.log - Proxy Broker Server
- /var/log/rhn/rhn_proxy_redirect.log - SSL Redirect Server
Config files:
- /etc/httpd/conf.d/*.conf
- /etc/rhn/rhn.conf
- /etc/squid/squid.conf
- /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
You can raise the debug level in /etc/rhn/rhn.conf to increase logging to the Proxy Broker and SSL Redirect logs - set to a value between 0 (default) and 9 (loads of debugging info).
=== Common Errors ===
When starting up Squid: "Aborted $SQUID $SQUID_OPTS >>/var/log/squid/squid.out FATAL: Could not determine fully qualified hostname"BR Set visible_hostname in /etc/squid/squid.conf - see [http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_48_9716.shtm]
If after running configure-proxy.sh your clients receive a "Spacewalk Proxy service not enabled for server profile: 'proxy_fqdn' Error Class Code: 1002", try rerunning rhn-proxy-activate as below, then verify that the systemid of your new proxy server as specified in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid matches the row in rhnproxyinfo in your database:
{{{ rhn-proxy-activate --server= }}}
{{{ [you@asatproxyserver ~]# grep ID- /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid ID-1000036838 [you@asatmasterserver ~]# spacewalk-sql -i psql (8.4.20) SSL connection (cipher: DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, bits: 256) Type "help" for help.
rhnschema=# select * from rhnproxyinfo; server_id | proxy_evr_id ------------+-------------- 1000036838 | 17467 (1 row) }}}
