The system is a libvirt guest running on a laptop installed with RHEL 7.1 and fully updated.

The guest system is kickstarted with a basic install of CentOS 7.1.1503 which is served from httpd running on the host OS. The kickstart has the following installation lines in the %post section:

echo "Modify NTP settings"

sed -i -e 's/0\..*\.pool\.ntp\.org/192.168.122.1/g' /etc/chrony.conf
sed -i -e '/org iburst/d' /etc/chrony.conf

echo "yum update"

yum -y update

echo "Install Katello repos"

echo "Install Katello packages"

yum -y install katello

%end

Once the install is complete, the guest is booted, I log ssh in as root and run

[root@foreman ~]# katello-installer

without any options. Installation logs are uploaded, but I'll also upload the kickstart logs as there are some warnings about the tomcat user not being available when gutterball is installed.

Once Katello is installed, I log in and change the admin password to something I can remember.

I have then created a product called CentOS and 3 repos within that: CentOS 7, CentOS 7 Updates, and CentOS 7 Extras - all using the www.mirrorservice.org/sites/mirror.centos.org/7.1.1503(insert_relevant_yum_directory_here) as their source.

Initial sync of the 3 repos was mainly successful - each synched the majority of packages down, but left a handful behind. The second sync completed the repositories, leaving no packages unaccounted for. The third sync hung on 2 of the repos and I can no longer see the Product page in the Katello WebUI. Not sure of the hammer command to list products & repos as yet.

It appears that the 'event' Exchange is now missing on my system:

[root@foreman ~]# qpid-config -b amqps://localhost:5671 --ssl-certificate /etc/pki/katello/certs/java-client.crt --ssl-key /etc/pki/katello/private/java-client.key exchanges
Type Exchange Name Attributes ==================================================

[root@foreman ~]#

I've looked at this a bit with Duncan and I'm not sure why the event exchange is not being created. The installer log shows:

[DEBUG 2015-08-02 19:30:48 main]  Exec[create candlepin qpid exchange](provider=posix): Executing 'qpid-config --ssl-certificate /etc/pki/katello/certs/java-client.crt --ssl-key /etc/pki/katello/private/java-client.key -b 'amqps://foreman.rhel7.local:5671' add exchange topic event --durable'

[ WARN 2015-08-02 19:30:48 main]  /Stage[main]/Certs::Candlepin/Exec[create candlepin qpid exchange]/returns: executed successfully

It's a bit strange that a command that "executed successfully" would be logged at WARN level, but aside from that general observation, I don't have a specific suggestion. I do see Puppet verify that the exchange exists later:

[DEBUG 2015-08-02 19:30:48 main]  Exec[create candlepin qpid exchange](provider=posix): Executing check 'qpid-config --ssl-certificate /etc/pki/katello/certs/java-client.crt --ssl-key /etc/pki/katello/private/java-client.key -b 'amqps://foreman.rhel7.local:5671' exchanges event'

Is the qpid-cpp-server-store package getting installed?

No, the qpid-cpp-server-store package is missing.
[vagrant@katello ~]$ rpm -qa | grep qpid-cpp
qpid-cpp-client-0.30-7.proton.0.9.el7.x86_64
qpid-cpp-client-devel-0.30-7.proton.0.9.el7.x86_64
qpid-cpp-server-linearstore-0.30-7.proton.0.9.el7.x86_64
qpid-cpp-server-0.30-7.proton.0.9.el7.x86_64

When I try to install the package I receive:
Package qpid-cpp-server-store-0.32-3.el7.x86_64 is obsoleted by qpid-cpp-server-linearstore-0.30-7.proton.0.9.el7.x86_64 which is already installed

I will wager that qpid-cpp-server-store/linearstore missing on Duncan's machine is the problem. According to a fellow I spoke with, "If you create an exchange and restart qpidd, the exchange will be gone (if there's no store installed)."

Peter is right. qpid-cpp-server-store is missing.

When I try to install it, I'm told the same thing (that it's been obsoleted by linearstore), but I don't have that package installed on my server.

Installed from scratch and ran qpid-config command:
qpid-config -b amqps://localhost:5671 --ssl-certificate /etc/pki/katello/certs/java-client.crt --ssl-key /etc/pki/katello/private/java-client.key exchanges
Type Exchange Name Attributes ==================================================
direct --replicate=none
direct C.dq --durable
direct amq.direct --durable --replicate=none
fanout amq.fanout --durable --replicate=none
headers amq.match --durable --replicate=none
topic amq.topic --durable --replicate=none
direct celery --durable
fanout celery.pidbox
topic celeryev --durable
topic event --durable
direct qmf.default.direct --replicate=none
topic qmf.default.topic --replicate=none
topic qpid.management --replicate=none
direct resource_manager --durable

Seems to be quiet normal. Stop/start katello using the katello-service and issue the same command:

qpid-config -b amqps://localhost:5671 --ssl-certificate /etc/pki/katello/certs/java-client.crt --ssl-key /etc/pki/katello/private/java-client.key exchanges
Type Exchange Name Attributes ==================================================
direct --replicate=none
direct C.dq --durable
direct amq.direct --durable --replicate=none
fanout amq.fanout --durable --replicate=none
headers amq.match --durable --replicate=none
topic amq.topic --durable --replicate=none
direct celery --durable
fanout celery.pidbox
topic celeryev --durable
direct qmf.default.direct --replicate=none
topic qmf.default.topic --replicate=none
topic qpid.management --replicate=none
direct resource_manager --durable

--> the exchange name called event is missing.

Peter, install qpid-cpp-server-linearstore and run that command again and it'll fix it.

We'll correct this in 2.3 RC2.

Thank you Stephen, this works fine!
