yum -y install foreman-installer-staypuft

the error output is

1

Networking setup has finished
Preparing installation Done

  * Foreman is running at https://staypuft.marafa.vm

Not running provisioning configuration since installation encountered errors, exit code was 1

[root@staypuft ~]# cat /var/log/foreman-installer/foreman-installer.log |grep -i error
[root@staypuft ~]# netstat -tupane |grep -E "8443|8140"

if it is useful to know this is of course a VM
also .. nothing was installed so nothing is running on ports 8443 nor 8140. which means the output is 100% misleading

your help and input is much appreciated.

thank you
