Hi,

Actually, I have built custom RPMs of  Puppet & Facter tailored to meet the
requirements of my environment. So, when I install these RPMs, the binaries
go into "/usr/sbin" including "puppetca"
And Pupept & Foreman are started by root. Initially, I too thought that
foreman was not able to find the "puppetca" binary, but then I wasn't sure.

I couldn't find much info anywhere, so thought of taking look at the code.

 *def setBuild
    host = Host.find params[:id]
    if host.setBuild != false (if I set this to true, I get the right
message in the web UI but, obviously that doesn't solve the problem)
      flash[:foreman_notice] = "Enabled #{host.name} for installation boot
away"
    else
      flash[:foreman_error] = "Failed to enable #{host.name} for
installation"
    end
    redirect_to :back
  end*


So, the conditions are not being met to enable the host for installation.


*PS: THIS IS A TEST SETUP, SO, I CAN TRY OUT DIFFERENT THINGS, PLEASE FEEL
FREE TO SUGGEST FIXES. :)*

Thanks,
