Landscape on prem install issues

dorlack · 10-25-2016, 11:47 AM

Hello,
I deployed a new landscape server on a digital ocean droplet. The host seems to installed fine and I am able to connect to the web UI. For some reason I am unable to register clients. I believe I have setup the certs correctly as well.

First let me post some of the error messages I am seeing:

Server Side:

I copied the cert from the Landscape server over to the client.

Code:

from /etc/ssl/certs/landscape_server_ca.crt  to client @ /etc/landscape/server.pem

Here is the config on the client pointing to the cert

Code:

[client]
log_level = info
url = http://landscape.myhost.com:8080/message-system
ping_url = http://landscape.myhost.com:8080/pin
data_path = /var/lib/landscape/client
include_manager_plugins = ScriptExecution
computer_title = My Web Server
account_name = standalone
ssl_public_key = /etc/landscape/server.pem

I have edited out hostnames and IPs but have confirmed they are all correct. I also confirmed the cert was using the correct hostname.

Any ideas on what might be preventing registration?

Still stuck on this. I was having issues posting to the Ubuntu forum so I thought I would check in here again... Any ideas?

Sorry to resurrect a long long dead thread, but this was one of the key sites that returned hits on an error I was having today, which (afaik) is the same error the OP was having.

I figured out that the registration instructions are slightly wrong, though I'd be welcome to some feed back. The registration says to run this on the client

Code:

sudo landscape-config --computer-title "My Web Server" --account-name standalone  --url http://landscape.domain.com:8080/message-system --ping-url http://landscape.domain.com:8080/ping

However both of those URLs return 404 when you visit them directly. I poked around a bit and found they were actually available on tcp port 8090, NOT 8080, adjusted the offending URLs in /etc/landscape/client.conf and restarted the service, now my landscape client is registering and reporting in appropriately.

This seems like such a dumb thing that I almost have to be wrong, so if someone else finds this and it works for them, I'd love to hear some confirmation.

Cheers,
