h1. Unattended Provisioning Troubleshooting

Below are some topics and troubleshooting steps that you may encounter while using the unattended provisioning.  Please add topics or provide answers if you can.

h2. Host is stuck in PXEboot cycle after provisioning.

h3. libvirt

PXELinux is broken for versions >= 4.02.

In your PXE default template replace "LOCALBOOT 0" with "LOCALBOOT -1"

If this does not help try "chain.c32 hd0,0" instead.

h2. Host did not get the provision file

If your host can't get the provision file check your apache config. The foreman configuration should be in a file called <code>foreman.conf</code>. There you have the vHost configuration for HTTP and HTTPS access. If you have multiple interfaces in your foreman server, you must make sure that the right IP address under which the host tries to access the foreman server is configured here. You may also configure apache to listen on all interfaces by using the * wildcard. Your <code>foreman.conf</code> should look similar to

<pre>

<VirtualHost *:80>

  ServerName foreman.my.domain

  ServerAlias foreman

  DocumentRoot /usr/share/foreman/public

  PassengerAppRoot /usr/share/foreman/

  RailsAutoDetect On

  AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>

  ServerName foreman.my.domain

  ServerAlias foreman

  RailsAutoDetect On

  DocumentRoot /usr/share/foreman/public

  PassengerAppRoot /usr/share/foreman/

  SSLCertificateFile      /var/lib/puppet/ssl/certs/mycert.pem

  SSLCertificateKeyFile   /var/lib/puppet/ssl/private_keys/mykey.pem

  SSLCertificateChainFile /var/lib/puppet/ssl/certs/ca.pem

  SSLCACertificateFile    /var/lib/puppet/ssl/certs/ca.pem

  SSLVerifyClient         optional

  SSLOptions              +StdEnvVars
