I have two Cobbler Servers - one old one I set up almost two years ago, and another one I am currently trying to build from scratch.
The problem is that I cannot get the new one started up properly.
Cobbler 2.2.3 on 64 bit RHEL 5
Here are some of the problems :
I am not using RHEL's httpd due to local practice of having multiple "stove-pipe" web stacks on each server.
The apache instance is in /opt/site/cobbler/data/apache instead of /var/www
On the old Cobbler, I used RHEL-httpd and sym-linked /var/www/(cobbler/ cobbler_webui_content) to another partition.
On the old one, I was running everything from the hardware IP
On the new one, I am using a vhost
On the old one, netstat says I have one httpd listening on <host-ip>:80, and one listening on 0.0.0.0:443
On the new one, I have one httpd listening on <host-ip>:80, and one listening on <host-ip>:443
Both have a listener on 127.0.0.1:25151 (python)
The first problem is that everything works on the old one and on the new one, I get this:
[root ~]# cobbler sync
httpd does not appear to be running and proxying cobbler, or SELinux is in the way. Original traceback:

>From the other end, the Web UI comes up but I cannot get past the login screen and I see no errors in the logs.
