Hi,
enable debug logs:
foreman-installer --foreman-logging-level "debug" --foreman-proxy-log-level "DEBUG"
And then please upload logs from the foreman:
/var/log/foreman/production.log
and smart proxy:
/var/log/foreman-proxy/proxy.log
here is /var/log/foreman/production.log

after, looking at it, I change my root password and now, no more errors !!
seems, there is missing something in error messages ?
Interesting, I can’t reproduce the issue on latest Foreman version, when the password is empty or has less than eight characters, I’ll get an error in the form with selected password field.
That same goes for the password inherited from the host group, if it is empty I’ll get an error, and I can’t set password on host group that is less than eight characters, there is an validation for it.
