Thanks for your reply, Alan.

I didn't do a find/xargs/grep for version_tuple!  Drat, bad troubleshooting. But in any case, even converting that file to YAML doesn't seem to help, I just get more errors.

Another interesting thing, the format of /etc/cobbler/version in 2.6.3 is not in YAML either.

Whatever. This is only affecting the Web console, so I can stay in business while I stand up 2.6 on a new server and replicate.

So I upgraded the cobbler and cobbler-web yum packages from 2.4.4 to 2.4.7, in preparation for upgrading to 2.6 (this is a RedHat 5.6 system).  Cobbler works fine from the command line, but I get an error when I attempt to login to the Web console.  In /var/log/cobbler, I get this every time I access:

/etc/cobbler/version has incorrect format, it should be in YAML.. Example:

builddate: Thu Jan 30 21:42:10 2014
gitdate: Mon Dec 9 11:08:16 2013 -0800
gitstamp: 2181fa3
version: 2.5.0
version_tuple: [2, 5, 0]

It is possible you'll have conflicts with other files. I'd recommend backing up important data and making a a clean installation.
