Can't register a server to SMT using clientSetup4SMT.sh

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server SLES Updates
1

I am trying to register my first server (SLES 11 SP1) to my newly installed SMT server (SLES 11 SP2). When I run the clientSetup4SMT.sh script (command ./clientSetup4SMT.sh https://wcs-mf-smt.xxx.com/center/regsvc) on 10.17.1.163 it returns with a message “Download failed. Abort.”.

I checked the apache log files (on the SMT server) at /var/log/apache2 and see the following in the access_log:
10.17.1.163 - - [03/Jul/2012:10:48:08 -0500] “\x80\x89\x01\x03\x01” 400 306 “-” “-”

From error_log:
[Tue Jul 03 10:48:08 2012] [error] [client 10.17.1.163] invalid request-URI

The output from “rcsmt status” gives:
Using apache2 conf plugin /etc/apache2/conf.d/nu_server.conf
Using apache2 conf plugin /etc/apache2/conf.d/smt_mod_perl.conf
Using apache2 conf plugin /etc/apache2/conf.d/smt_support.conf
Not using apache2 vhosts plugin /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/vhost-ssl.conf (SMT not enabled)
Using cron plugin /etc/cron.d/novell.com-smt
Checking for httpd2: running
Checking for service MySQL: running
Checking for Cron: running

I checked file /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and think that the problem may be caused by section:

forbid access to the entire filesystem by default

Options None AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Deny from all

I wasn’t getting this far until I used YaST to enable SSL in the apache server.

What do I need to change to resolve the “invalid request-URI” message?

Not using apache2 vhosts plugin /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/vhost-ssl.conf (SMT not enabled)

What do I need to change to resolve the “invalid request-URI” message?

I would try turning on the SMT vhost.

How do I go about turning on the SMT vhosts plugin? I’ve searched Google and haven’t found anything on this.

It would be real nice if the installation of SMT updated everything needed (even if it has to prompt you) at install time. The SMT documentation leaves a LOT to be desired.
