Description

facter fqdn and hostname -f both return
HOSTNAME.domain.com

All config files (like httpd) are configured with this hostname in uppercase.

But the puppet cert that is generated is in lowercase.
Resulting in httpd not beeing able to start.

foreman-installer -i output:

There is a .pem file generated in /var/lib/puppet/certs/, but it is in lowercase.

I changed my hostname to lowercase, regenerated a cert, and it now works.
But this should be checked (warning) or worked around for easy deployment.

#5 Updated by Fabien Combernous over 8 years ago

I used rpms from the foreman repo : foreman-installer-1.6.2-1.el6.
I was yet impacted buy this bug released for 1.6.0.
I renamed the hostname lowercase then the foreman-installer worked like a charm.
