I see. So at least the variable was correctly extended, otherwise the line would not be there. If you point a browser to

http://10.173.90.168/cblr/svc/op/yum/system/testmachine.example.com

do you get the correct response, or is it just empty?

If it is empty, I would check the HTTP log for errors. There should at least be a string "#object not found" or something like that.

If not, maybe the machine can't resolve cobbler2.example.com during installation?


The log files show a 200 when getting the file. It is just empty. I thought about the resolve problem... during installation. Browsing to it just gives me an empty page with a 200 in the log file. A wget on the build server also fails... so I am currently at a bit of a loss. I building a new test machine based on RHEL5.5 to see if that would make a difference.
From the httpd log file:
"GET /cblr/svc/op/yum/system/auth01.clean.io HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-" "Mozilla/5.0
