In reply to Giedrius Tuminauskas. Hi Giedrius, I agree with you, but just for demonstration,i have used multiple firewall-cmd commands otherwise all ports can be opened via single command.

Why don’t you use one line in step 2?
“`
firewall-cmd –permanent –add-port={53/tcp,67-69/udp,80/tcp,443/tcp,3000/tcp,3306/tcp,5910-5930/tcp,5432/tcp,8140/tcp,8443/tcp}
“`

Hi Zubing,

did you set the hostname and update /etc/hosts file. Apart from this make sure SELinux is either permissive or disabled mode. Also make sure your foreman server have internet connectivity. In case you want to try latest version for foreman 1.15, set file following repositories and then run foreman-installer command,

yum -y install ‘https://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-el-7.noarch.rpm’
yum -y install ‘http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm’
yum -y install ‘https://yum.theforeman.org/releases/1.15/el7/x86_64/foreman-release.rpm’
yum -y install foreman-installer
foreman-installer

Hey Pradeep,

I have installed it on a Centos 7 box. I see the host registered now after writing the hostname to the /etc/hosts /etc/hostname and running the hostname command. Again, thanks for the response.

I have a new problem now, where I have been trying to create a kickstart file that makes use of and the kickstart process is not able to resolve foreman.example.com and any other dns domain. Any suggestions on how I can work around this ? I am using virtualbox as my setup.

Thanks,
Uday

Hi Uday,

Whenever Foreman is installed successfully, then under the hosts tab your foreman server with its hostname should register automatically.

Can you tell me on which OS you have installed Foreman …? Did you get any error during foreman installation ..?

Hey Pradeep,

I dont find the default host foreman.example.com registered to my foreman after it comes up, can you point me to some debugging options ?

Again, thanks a lot for all the great work.
