Hi Michael:
Thanks for the quick response.
I'm new to Cobber but it's exactly what I've been looking for.
This is a new install.
I checked the /etc/httpd/conf.d for .rpmnew files and there are none.
I looked at the files in /etc/httpd/conf.d but maybe I don't know what
I'm looking for.
I also read
https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/ModPythonDetails good
info.
I get that /var/www/cobbler is volitile and I should not put anything in
that tree.
The kickstart data is being created, I used
cobbler profile getks --name=RHEL5.2_server-i386
and the data is fine.
My problem is that the ks.cfg file is not being created.
Correct, the kickstart file never exists on the filesystem. It is served
dynamically by the magic URLs mentioned on the ModPythonDetails page.
Also, there is no kickstarts dir under /var/www/cobbler
Nor should there be, in any version after 1.0.
Your personally kickstart templates live outside /var/www and are
rendered by Cobbler, creating dynamically served installer content.
I just successfully kickstarted my first box but I had to
cobbler profile edit --name=RHEL5.2_server-i386
--kickstart=/etc/cobbler/rh5_with_no_install_num.ks
cobbler profile getks --name=RHEL5.2_server-i386 >
/var/www/html/mystuff/ks.cfg
cobbler profile edit --name=RHEL5.2_server-i386
--kickstart=http://cobbler_server/mystuff/ks.cfg
Then the koan worked fine.
But if I just
cobbler profile edit --name=RHEL5.2_server-i386
--kickstart=/etc/cobbler/rh5_with_no_install_num.ks
koan gives my the Cannot find ks.cfg error
Ah,it looks like your koan is downlevel. "yum update" koan as well and
it will know about the new URLs patterns.
So, the kickstart data is being created, the ks.cfg file is not.
Right, see above, and I think you'll be set :)
Let me know if not and we'll get it straightened out.

This is a bit kludgy, so you might want to rethink why you want to do it.
