Description Lee Yarwood 2014-12-18 16:32:38 UTC
Description of problem:

Either these steps need to be rewritten to work with Foreman's virtual hosts or the following sentence from section 3.2.1. needs to make it clear that these steps are to be run on a separate host away from the installer.

"Use a web server to host a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 installation medium. This procedure must be performed on the machine where the installation medium is to be hosted."

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Current.

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use the commands listed on 3.2.1 on the installer host.

Actual results:
Unable to access the installation media.

Expected results:
Able to access the installation media.

Assigning to Dan, who is the designated author for RHEL-OSP installer issues.

Comment 3 Dan Macpherson 2015-02-10 00:42:15 UTC
I've implemented the following solution for RHEL-OSP Installer 6:

http://documentation-devel.engineering.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_OpenStack_Platform/6/html/Installer_and_Foreman_Guide/sect-Preparing_the_Installation_Medium.html

Basically, the procedure creates a virtual host on apache that provides access to /var/www/html/ over port 8120. This step must be performed AFTER running rhel-osp-installer or else Puppet will wipe away the httpd config.

Lee, the same solution should be applicable to Installer 5. Let me know if this works for you and I'll include the content in the Installer 5 guide too.

ACK, this does. Thanks Dan!
