Installation problem (PE 3.0.0 on RHEL 6.4 x64)

[Jan Walczuk]

Hello everyone.

I'm trying to install Puppet Enterprise for test purposes before my company make a purchase of Puppet Enterprise.

There is a problem with installation (good start i guess :) ).
After Q&A from installator and packages installation I'm getting this output:
## Setting up puppet master...
## Checking the agent certificate name detection...
## Setting up puppet agent...
## Setting up the database...
Configuring postgresql server...
PostgreSQL server configured.
!! ERROR: The PostgreSQL server failed to start; unable to proceed

My conclusion after browsing install_log:
If you guys could be so nice and put info about remounting /var with exec that would be nice. :)

Best regards.

Hi Jan,

    This is the problem of postgresql database server. Check postgreSQL server on your machine working or not.

First start the postgresql server and then try to run puppet enterprise installation. 

Thanks and Regards,

Hello,

I had the exact same issue. The problem was Postgres, its need to be able to resolve localhost.

Added "127.0.0.1   localhost.localdomain localhost" to /etc/hosts - problem fixed.

Once Puppet was installed, I removed the above entry - and pe-postgresql wouldn't start. Added localhost back in - and pe-postgresql starts...

Cheers,

Paul.
