Problem: New fresh installation in CentOS7.
Cant access GUI after installation.
Expected outcome: Should be able to access theforeman webgui.
Other relevant data:
I’m using a vm machine with CentOS-7-x86_64-Everything-1908 image.
I followed this guide https://www.theforeman.org/manuals/1.24/quickstart_guide.html
Everything goes weel till the end of the installation procedure.
I got an error in the installation and then i try to access the webgui and nothing shows up.
This is the error that shows in the foreman log.
