Hello group, I am at the point where I am going to tell my manager that its folly to use this product in any way.
I have been working on this for weeks and have made very little progress in getting errors cleared , certificates working, and controls in the Foreman web gui working. I work for the state of Arizona and we are thinking of using Foreman to manage our Linux hosts. >From the install, there were pages of errors and I have bounced around trying to use different flavors of O/S and finally was able to get Foreman installed using ubuntu 16.02. I tried Centos, SUSE, and ubuntu 14.04. I am at a point where if I try and run agent test commands, I get many errors. Here is a sample: Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Class[Ntp]: parameter 'broadcastclient' expects a Boolean value, got String parameter 'config' expects a match for Variant[Stdlib::Windowspath = Pattern[/^(([a-zA-Z]:[\\\/])|([\\\/][\\\/][^\\\/]+[\\\/][^\\\/]+)|([\\\/][\\\/]\?[\\\/][^\\\/]+))/], Stdlib::Unixpath = Pattern[/^\/([^\/\0]+(\/)?)+$/]], got '' parameter 'config_dir' expects a match for Variant[Stdlib::Windowspath = Pattern[/^(([a-zA-Z]:[\\\/])|([\\\/][\\\/][^\\\/]+[\\\/][^\\\/]+)|([\\\/][\\\/]\?[\\\/][^\\\/]+))/], Stdlib::Unixpath = Pattern[/^\/([^\/\0]+(\/)?)+$/]], got '' parameter 'disable_auth' expects a Boolean value, got String parameter 'disable_dhclient' expects a Boolean value, got String parameter 'disable_kernel' expects a Boolean value, got String parameter 'disable_monitor' expects a Boolean value, got String parameter 'fudge' expects an Array value, got String parameter 'driftfile' expects a match for Variant[Stdlib::Windowspath = Pattern[/^(([a-zA-Z]:[\\\/])|([\\\/][\\\/][^\\\/]+[\\\/][^\\\/]+)|([\\\/][\\\/]\?[\\\/][^\\\/]+))/], Stdlib::Unixpath = Pattern[/^\/([^\/\0]+(\/)?)+$/]], got '' parameter 'leapfile' expects a match for Variant[Stdlib::Windowspath = Pattern[/^(([a-zA-Z]:[\\\/])|([\\\/][\\\/][^\\\/]+[\\\/][^\\\/]+)|([\\\/][\\\/]\?[\\\/][^\\\/]+))/], Stdlib::Unixpath = Pattern[/^\/([^\/\0]+(\/)?)+$/]], got '' parameter 'logfile' expects a match for Variant[Stdlib::Windowspath = Pattern[/^(([a-zA-Z]:[\\\/])|([\\\/][\\\/][^\\\/]+[\\\/][^\\\/]+)|([\\\/][\\\/]\?[\\\/][^\\\/]+))/], Stdlib::Unixpath = Pattern[/^\/([^\/\0]+(\/)?)+$/]], got '' parameter 'iburst_enable' expects a Boolean value, got String parameter 'keys' expects an Array value, got String parameter 'keys_enable' expects a Boolean value, got String ... I have uninstalled and re-installed the ntp classes. I have tried clearing and re-signing the certificates. I have had errors where remote hosts (puppet) are refused, or don't connect at all. Its getting to point where this product is becoming a major waste of time to install and configure. I am installing this in a VMWare environment, and I have full network access. Is there a prefered O/S or environment where Foreman will install correctly the first time? I use the instructions on the Foreman site, and it doesn't work. Then I search to find solutions from other sites and I will get a little further, but with not much further progress. Is there a site, page/blog that actually works? Any guidance would be appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Foreman users" group.
