Whoops! OK, I deleted /var/www/cobbler (the whole thing) once again,
erased ("rpm -e") the installed cobbler rpm, reinstalled it, and ran
the import again. This time I have fewer error messages but it still
isn't right:
---------------- (adding distros)
- found content (breed=redhat) at
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/Fedora-10-i386/images/pxeboot
- warning: skipping import, as distro name already exists: Fedora-10-i386
- found content (breed=redhat) at
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/Fedora-10-i386/images/pxeboot
- warning: skipping import, as distro name already exists: Fedora-10-i386
---------------- (associating repos)
---------------- (associating kickstarts)
---------------- (syncing)
It's still "skipping import, as distro name already exists". Where is
cobbler keeping this information?
Check "cobbler distro list" ... though you've removed the datastore you
still have configuration in /var/lib/cobbler that the RPM will not (for
general reasons of being a good citizen) not remove when you install the
package.
You should remove these with "cobbler distro remove
--name=Fedora-10-i386 --recursive" once you have the package
reinstalled. Try to avoid editing that configuration directory manually
as it leads to some bad/dangerous habits.
