Hello guys,

I am trying to setup Foreman for the first time on a Ubuntu 18.04 VM, but after running foreman-installer (without any arguments) I am getting the following error:

/Stage[main]/Foreman_proxy::Register/Foreman_smartproxy[ubu02.example.local]: Could not evaluate: Exception SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: certificate verify failed (unable to get local issuer certificate) in get request to: https://ubu02.example.local/api/v2/smart_proxies?search=name=%22ubu02.example.local%22

  Something went wrong! Check the log for ERROR-level output`

When visiting the web UI, I am getting:

**Oops, we're sorry but something went wrong** ERF42-4995 [Foreman::Exception]: Invalid authenticity token

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Looks like you did try to install with the native OS puppet package, which is something we don’t test (and also the resulting setup without the JVM based puppetserver is not supported by PuppetLabs since quite a while).

You should start over with a clean system and install the Puppetlabs repositories and the puppet-agent package before installing the foreman-installer package.
