Unable to install server via Kickstart

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Trying to build a new server via Kickstart. We have a Satellite Proxy in our DMZ which connects to a Satellite server.

But i get the following error

Unable to retrieve http://<proxy ip>/ks/dist/ks-rhel-x86_64-server-6-6.5/images/install.img.

I have verified that this is the correct path. From my proxy, as a test, I ran:

wget http://<proxy ip>/ks/dist/ks-rhel-x86_64-server-6-6.5/images/install.img

This worked successfully.

Here is my kickstart file
