Installer updates
by Cliff Perry
Hi folks,
I am pleased to say that the Katello installation process has been
simplified with a new 3 step process outlined:
https://fedorahosted.org/katello/wiki/Install
1. Install OS for Katello
2. Enable initial repo(s)
3. Install and execute katello-configure
4. Login! :)
I wish to thank Ohad L, Jan P, Bryan K, Dmitri D, and Ivan N.
Regards,
Cliff

In one of my previous work lives, the system history was used to audit
what actions/updates had been performed.
So, in my current role: no. In previous roles: yes.
This is probbaly worth asking on the spacewalk and satellite lists.
Thanks

Couple of questions
by Colin Coe
Hi all
Just getting back into looking at katello, this time on RHEL6 instead
of Fedora 15.
Is there a list of ports that need to be open on the katello server?
Any ideas on when puppet/foreman integration is going to happen?
Thanks
CC

Sorry for not searching the archives, but are there plans to support RHEL5 clients with Katello? If so, what is the timeline?

Upgrading to 0.1.75-1
by Lukas Zapletal
Hello,
when you upgrade to %SUBJ% please note we have moved our database
configuration. What you need to do is to
# diff /etc/katello/katello.yml.rpmnew /etc/katello/katello.yml
You will most likely need to add this to your **production** section of
the katello.yml:
production:
database:
adapter: sqlite3
database: /var/lib/katello/production.sqlite3
pool: 5
timeout: 5000
in case of postgres it would be something like
production:
database:
adapter: postgresql
username: katello
password: katello
database: katello
host: localhost
encoding: UTF8
You can also delete
# rm /etc/katello/database.yml.rpmsave
Take care.
