Syntax Error after wget command

[n1ete]

i get an bash: line 50: syntax error near unexpected token}'`

when i throw as root user an wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antevens/letsencrypt-freeipa/master/install.sh -O - | bash in the terminal?

any idea why? thanks btw for this amazing script

I have no idea why but for some reason piping wget output to bash isn't working for the scripts in this repo.

I was able to get this to work by cloning the repo and using those scripts, and editing https://github.com/antevens/letsencrypt-freeipa/blob/master/install.sh#L57 to read bash ./register.sh. Note that this will obviously mean you need to chdir into where you cloned the repo.

You could alternatively just download https://github.com/antevens/letsencrypt-freeipa/blob/master/install.sh and edit the line I mentioned above to download the file and then execute it rather than piping the output, and then execute that.

Sorry for not responding earlier, my GitHub notification settings were not correctly set.

Is it possible you were behind a proxy or some other device or were somehow getting corrupted data?

Hello,

I try to run this script in a basic AWS environment and I get this error too... Nothing fancy with proxy and so.

I'll have to look into it when I get time and try to see if more logging can be added, if you have any more info or debug texts that would help.

Hi,

I just came across this issue. My FreeIPA server is not behind a proxy of any sort. I logged into the server via ssh with root, and used kinit admin to get a valid kerberos ticket.

Then I ran the command:

[root@ipa ~]# wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antevens/letsencrypt-freeipa/master/install.sh -O - | bash

bash: line 51: syntax error near unexpected token `}'
[root@ipa ~]#

I will try the proposed work-around to get it installed.

Running FreeIPA 4.6.4 on CentOS 7.6

Hi n1ete,

Downloading it by hand or using curl is probably the best workaround.

Hi @antevens

thank you for your quick reply. I had opened an issue (#15) in case you want to keep track of this issue because this was closed. I confirm that by downloading, editing line 58 with ./register and running ./install.sh all works perfectly.

Thank you for this!
