I think that the problem is that we require the latest CentOS 7 version. 7.6 is unsupported.
Is that for the new version of foreman and ketello that centos 7.6 is unsupported. Which versions should i be installing? Also the missing files. Do i need a specific tftp package installed to get those files as it does not like the ones copied from my kickstart even though they are the correct version.
I am also getting issues that my local server does not see port 443 for the url of foreman. However no firewall installed and I can open Firefox and go to https:// www.google.com without any issues and that works so port 443 is open.
CentOS 7.6 is just unsupported. CentOS has no support for older minor releases. You run with known security issues.
The real problem is that you only showed tiny parts of the log and I can only guess. I recall there were changes around the grub package names in the 7.5ish time frame, but that’s some time ago. I can tell you that it tries to copy files from one place in the filesystem to /var/lib/tftpboot and that fails for some reason. You don’t provide enough logs to say why.
Just to add to this post. I have now got foreman 2.1 and Katello 3.16RC5 installed on centos 7.6. I can get to the foreman dashboard. Will start configuring and adding my local repos next week.
