#7701 Freeipa does not install from a default install of fedora 28
Closed: worksforme 5 years ago by rcritten. Opened 5 years ago by tonyhoyle.

The installer needs to be a lot more verbose about what can go wrong, because currently it comes across as being completely broken, which I suspect is unlikely in a stable release..

End of install is always:
Parent DN of cn=custodia,cn=ipa,cn=etc,dc=hoyle,dc=me,dc=uk may not exist, cannot create the entry
Parent DN of cn=dogtag,cn=custodia,cn=ipa,cn=etc,dc=hoyle,dc=me,dc=uk may not exist, cannot create the entry

Error retrieving: cn=ipaConfig,cn=etc,dc=hoyle,dc=me,dc=uk
Upgrade failed with no such entry
[error] RuntimeError: no such entry
[cleanup]: stopping directory server
[cleanup]: restoring configuration
Update failed: no such entry
The ipa-server-install command failed. See /var/log/ipaserver-install.log for more information

Tried this two ways:
1. Install fedora workstation, check 'freeipa server'
2. Run ipa-server-install
3. Install crashes.

1 Install fedora server
2. Do a yum update
3. Do yum install freeipa-server
4. Run ipa-server install
5. Install crashes

What should happen:
installer stops with an error that indicates what is wrong. Ideally it should complete in a default install ie defaults should be correct.

I don't know if it is an issue with pagure or not but the installation log is not accessible.

It is not accessible to me either. @tonyhoyle, how can we get access to your log?

I'm seeing the same issue with 4.7, while pre2 still worked fine (both on Ubuntu). I should be able to bisect this..

for me it broke with bumping the WSGI process count from 2, bisect proved this

and that's because the VM had only 1GB of RAM.. giving it 2GB made it survive the install/upgrade

We haven't seen any other reports like this and haven't reproduce it locally, closing as worksforme.
