Description

When running foreman-installer to upgrade puppet 3 -> 4 in place, puppet server fails to start because of missing "puppetlabs.trapperkeeper.services.status.status-service/status-service": "/status" in server.conf.

This line should be added by foreman-installer1; witch did not seem to work.

As a workaround, puppet server version should be specifid explicitly using foreman-installer:

puppetserver -v
puppetserver version: 2.7.2

foreman-installer --puppet-server-puppetserver-version=2.7.2

The installer isn't meant to detect the version, it should be set to the version being installed.

You can also reset it to the default value, which configures it for the latest known version. I've changed the upgrade instructions at http://projects.theforeman.org/projects/foreman/wiki/Upgrading_from_Puppet_3_to_4#section-7 to recommend this during an upgrade, as it's likely that you are installing the latest.

Indeed, I concur we can assume one is installing the latest version of Puppet Server version in this scenario; resetting puppet server version seems like the best option.

The installer isn't meant to detect the version, it should be set to the version being installed.

However, if Puppetlabs decide to introduce another config change on future versions, how would this be handled with foreman installer? Shouldn't foreman-installer be able to detect the installed version?

there's no possibilty to detect the puppetserver version, as we learned in the past.
