software installation - Unable to install foreman in ubuntu 12.04



I am trying to install foreman in ubuntu 12.04, After adding apt source and executing foreman-installer command giving me the below error.



/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/kafo/puppet_module_parser.rb:21:in `initialize': uninitialized constant Puppet::Parser::Parser (NameError)



Couldn't find much in google....



How to solve it??



I followed this tutorial for installing puppet master and puppet agent



https://coderwall.com/p/w6oxug/puppet-installation-on-ubuntu-12-04lts




Everything was working fine until I uninstall ruby, rvm, gem, bundler etc and made a fresh install of rvm, ruby update to 2.3.0.



I updated ruby to 2.3.0, updated gem, bundlet... But If I type puppet -V, I am getting the below error



sudo service puppet start




  • Starting puppet agent /usr/bin/puppet:3:in `require': no such file to load -- puppet/util/command_line (LoadError)
    from /usr/bin/puppet:3

UPDATE 2:



rvm -v
rvm 1.27.0 (latest) by Wayne E. Seguin , Michal Papis [https://rvm.io/]



ruby -v
ruby 2.3.0p0 (2015-12-25 revision 53290) [x86_64-linux]




rails -v
Rails 5.0.0.1



gem -v
2.6.6



which ruby



/home/user/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.3.0/bin/ruby




which rails



/home/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.0/bin/rails



which gem



/home/user/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.3.0/bin/gem



UPDATE 3:




foreman-installer




File /var/log/foreman-installer/foreman-installer.log not writeable,
won't log anything to file!
/home/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.0/gems/kafo-0.9.4/lib/kafo/puppet_module.rb:69:in
`parse': No Puppet module parser is installed and no cache of the file
/usr/share/foreman-installer/modules/foreman/manifests/init.pp is
available. Please check debug logs and install optional dependencies

for the parser. (Kafo::ParserError)




UPDATE 4:



Almost close to finishing installation:



I was using puppet 4 gem and that was causing UPDATE 3 errors. I downgraded puppet to version 3.7 and reinstalled highline and kafo gems





gem install puppet -v 3.7



gem install highline



gem install kafo




Then tried





foreman-installer



Preparing installation Done



Something went wrong! Check the log for ERROR-level output The full
log is at /var/log/foreman-installer/foreman-installer.log




In log, I can see these errors,




[ERROR 2016-08-30T08:13:17 main] Errors encountered during run:
[ERROR 2016-08-30T08:13:17 main] Could not autoload puppet/parser/functions/add_progress: cannot load such file -- kafo/modules/kafo_configure/lib/kafo/puppet/report$

Could not autoload puppet/parser/functions/add_progress: cannot load such file -- kafo/modules/kafo_configure/lib/kafo/puppet/report_wrapper


Current System Config




rails -v
Rails 4.2.2

ruby -v
ruby 2.0.0p648 (2015-12-16 revision 53162) [x86_64-linux]

gem -v
2.4.8

bundler -v

Bundler version 1.12.5

puppet -V
3.7.0


The above errors are for foreman-installer 1.4 and 1.7,



when I try 1.3 installer,




'uninitialized constant Kafo::KafoConfigure (NameError) '


UPDATE 5:
I can conclude one thing now....



It's all about finding the 
right puppet version,
right kafo version,
right foreman-installer,

right ruby version and
right gem version for ubuntu 12.04

IF anyone succeeded in installing foreman-installer 1.4 in ubuntu 12.04, please give me the version no for all above mentioned


As I mentioned in my original question, In Ubuntu 12.04, Its all about meeting the right configuration for forman-installer, ruby, puppet, kafo, kafo_parsers, rails and gem.



This is the configuration that finally worked for me.





  • foreman-installer 1.7

  • ruby -v 2.1.1

  • rails -v 4.2.2

  • puppet -V 3.8.7

  • kafo -v 0.9.4

  • kafo_parsers -v 0.1.2

  • gem -v 2.6.6




When you are changing ruby version, make sure to update gems, install puppet gem and other required gems ( highline ) again



gem update --system
gem install highline
gem install puppet -v 3.8.7


Also, make sure you have the following foreman stuff updated. If you already have foreman old installer, You have to remove it first



sudo apt-get remove foreman-installer



Run this command "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/foreman.list" and update the file with this entry deb http://deb.theforeman.org/ precise 1.7
then run the below commands,



sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install foreman-installer
foreman-installer



This is the final configuration which finally worked for me.
Now I am struggling to change foreman port :)
