EasyApache Automation failures

I am following the blog post on "cPanel Auto Provisioning through Kickstart" and I am running into a problem. The problem arises when I add any EasyApache.yaml file into the install process.

As in the post all I am doing is wget -O the file from a location for install:

Code:

messenger “Downloading EA3 Profile”
wget -O /etc/cp_easyapache_profile.yaml http://url/path/EasyApache.yaml

If I include the EA yaml, then http does not work, and I receive the following error:

Code:

[root@server /]# /etc/init.d/httpd start
Starting httpd: grep: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: No such file or directory
/bin/bash: /usr/sbin/httpd: No such file or directory
                                                           [FAILED]
[root@server /]# service httpd start
Starting httpd: grep: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: No such file or directory
/bin/bash: /usr/sbin/httpd: No such file or directory
                                                           [FAILED]

If I try to access EasyApache:

Code:

Last lines of the /var/log/cpanel-install-thread0.log are:

Code:

If I do not include the EA yaml everything completes as you would expect. However I then have to go in and rebuild Apache/PHP to the required versions.

I'm not sure why its not working with the yaml section of the install script as the yaml is a copy of what gets used if I run easyapache on the server directly after doing a fresh install of just cPanel without any wget'ing of files.This is just a straight up installation of cPanel to uses Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.3.6. No extra plugins or anything else is being installed yet, that comes later if I can ever get past this point.

Anyone have any ideas why the inclusion of a EA yaml would cause the install to fail?
