Re: [foreman-users] Re: Foreman + katello install issues

[John Mitsch]

Just an update on the pulp error, we updated the installation docs to
install python-django, which avoids these errors.

For already installed systems just run:

 $ sudo yum install python-django
 $ sudo systemctl restart httpd pulp_workers pulp_resource_manager
pulp_celerybeat pulp_streamer

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
John

thanks.  that worked like a charm here. Up and running.  Now to try to find
an AWS APL that will work as well (they gave me grief on my spacewalk
install and I have a feeling they will not be a LOT easier with foreman,
but we'll see) .

There will not.  The issue here is python-django16 is erroneously installed due 
to a packaging error
in an upstream repo (epel).  The manual fix here is to get the system into the 
correct state,
therefore there will be no need to 'fix' it later after the upstream repo is 
fixed.  It will just
continue to work as it did prior to this past weekend for new installs.

Thanks!  That's a big help.  If we use that manual fix I presume we will
have a second manual fix when the package comes out live?

Re: [foreman-users] Re: Foreman + katello install issues

[pcreech]

Hey Foreman!, I'm sorry for not e-mailing this list as well, as it affects 
you guys too!

We saw this error start popping up on Saturday in our automation, here is 
the e-mail I sent out about it yesterday:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/pulp-list/2017-December/msg00017.html

Basically, a new package, python-django16, got pushed to EPEL  that had a 
'Provides: python-django' set, overriding the 'python-django' package.  For 
some reason, when this package gets installed, pulp can't find it's 
libraries properly and has been giving a lot of 'import not found' errors 
for pulp code.

I have been in contact with the package maintainer to correct this issue 
(there is a bug link in the above e-mail), and it should be resolved 
shortly, as the update is already in bodhi.  I'm waiting for it to 
propagate to testing repos to give it some karma to help get it released.

The workaround we have been using is to 'yum install python-django' 
(without the 16) for now until this issue is resolved.  (it should also be 
safe to remove python-django16)

We apologize for any inconveniences to any parties involved

Thanks,
Patrick

Seems like an issue with pulp. Maybe there's a service that didn't come up.
Try looking in `journalctl -t pulp` for more detailed error messages.

Re: [foreman-users] Re: Foreman + katello install issues

[Joe Auerbach]

This worked great for the install.   I'm getting what looks like a pretty
common error when trying to add a repo to my first product.  "There was an
issue with the backend service pulp: 500 Internal Server Error".  Anyone
have any idea what that one is about?

 Katello onto it.

 For most Foreman plugins that is a good approach but Katello is
 currently special.  You need to install Foreman using the Katello install
 procedure which installs Foreman and Katello simultaneously.

Yes, the defaults should work fine for you. You can always enable other
plugins (look at `foreman-installer --full-help | grep enable`) later if
you decide you need some functionality that one of them provides.

 I installed on a centos 7 server built in Google Cloud Platform.  Right
 away, I got a server configuration error when i started Foreman (which
 installed without error).  This is, i think, because foreman thinks that my
 server can be accessed via the placeholder hostname assigned by google, but
 that's not a  huge issue.  Using the assigned IP i can access the system
 fine.

 However, when i try to install Katello, no luck. I followed the
 instructions found on the foreman site (https://theforeman.org/plugin
 s/katello/3.2/installation/index.html) but upon trying to run "yum -y
 install katello" I'm getting dependency errors.  Specifically about the
 only available version of rubygem (tfm  stuff) being too recent (for
 example version 0.9.1 when the install wants < 0.9.0

 I'm not really sure what to do with it at this point, but an assist
 would be appreciated.   Here's a pastebin of the error I get when following
 the website instructions. https://pastebin.com/NqsbkHJN

Re: [foreman-users] Re: Foreman + katello install issues

[Joe Auerbach]

Okay, so the katello install went great and now I'm into the installing
foreman bit.  Specifically here:  foreman-installer --scenario katello
 . I have to admit, i have no idea what options are normal.  If
I'm jus tlooking to store and manage repos and the like is selecting the
Generic option okay here?  Just foreman-installer --scenario katello
Generic?

[Joe Auerbach]

Well, that's unexpected.  Am I better off just scrapping this server and
spinning up a fresh one?if I'm doing that I might as well as if there's
currently a preferred distro.  I installed on centos 7.
