Foreman installation on Centos 7.2

Support
1

Dear Foreman user list,

I got stuck in evaluating Foreman. I was able to install Foreman using
quick install documentation. I first installed Foreman on Debian Jessie and
got puppet errors. Now I switched to Centos 7.2 and installed Foreman
again. I provisioned Centos 7.2 and OpenSUSE in Foreman and a client
machine (vm). But I either get no boot image nor a pxe config and I do not
know where to look for errors. I switched logging to debug in
foreman/settings.yaml and foreman-proxy/setting.yml but I can't find any
errors. Foreman proxy is only throwing an error when I delete the host
object: ERROR – : Attempt to remove nonexistent client autosign for
urzlxdeploy-client01.ad.uni-leipzig.de .

What can I do to troubleshoot ?

Cheers,

Vadim

Try verifying all of these items:

This is harmless, it's just attempting to clean everything up that might
be there.

Hi,

thanks Dominic to point me to this documentation. In deed I was able to get
my problems solved. I reverted my installation to a former taken snapshot
and did the Foreman installation again. I think i messed up the repos.

Cheers,

Vadim
