Access problems to PE 2015.2 Admin Console after successful installation

[Warron French]

Hello, my name is Warron.

I am relatively new to using PE Puppet, and downloaded and installed the product from PuppetLabs.com.  I am running the PE puppet configuration in Monolithic 'style?' and I installed several times unsuccessfully, and the last time successfully (comparing obvious output with errors to output with no errors at all).  I am working with CentOS-6.7 x86_64 as my OS.

I followed the instructions on this webpage, http://docs.puppetlabs.com/pe/latest/quick_start_install_mono.html, and at the bottom of this page, in the section called Log into the Console is where problems started occurring.

When I attempt to access the console at the page provided in the results of the installation (using the browser) the website does not respond and/or allow me to connect.

I found that the services were not started, for some reason, so I rebooted my whole machine (I know, very Windowsy, but that's what I did).

Please help, I am only running PE puppet at home, because that's what my employer runs in the office.

Thank you.

I solved my own problem.

The instructions for the installation of PE-2015.2 did not provide any feedback about enabling ports 80 & 443/tcp through the iptables firewall (or disabling the iptables firewall entirely).

Anyway, I enabled those 2 ports (80|443)/tcp and that fixed the problem.
