Just posting results of my Amahi 7 Beta 1 install.

Dependencies installed when I install yum -y install hda-ctl hda-platform:

all x86_64 or noarch

Code: Select all

The hda-install YOUR-INSTALL-CODE worked fine. On reboot I could log into http://hda from another pc. The "disks" tab went to a page showing "Application error. The application has found an error. You will be forwarded shortly", which then went to "The page you were looking for doesn't exist". (it was looking for http://hda/setup?tab=debug) When I moused over the disks tab I could access the "partitions" subpage but not the "details" one - that gave the same application error.

I will install some services myself later on, as I'm not in the beta testing group for apps so can't try those out. Will post again if I have any trouble with dependencies etc.

ok found a pretty big problem, and have run out of time to fix right now.

I cannot resolve any yum mirrors eg: trying to yum install nano gives a whole lot of errors for the mirrors ending with

Code: Select all

FAILED
http://ucmirror.canterbury.ac.nz/linux/fedora/linux/releases/18/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/n/nano-2.3.1-4.fc18.x86_64.rpm: [Errno 14] curl#6 - "Could not resolve host: ucmirror.canterbury.ac.nz; Unknown error":--:-- ETA

Happens for every package

Trying to resolve - first I tested for internet connection - passed:

Code: Select all

[matt@server pluginconf.d]$ ping -c 1  74.125.227.104

I could also ping the f18.amahi.org repo server, so no problems there. I tried cleaning repositories

Code: Select all

su -c 'yum clean all && yum update -y --skip-broken'

Error continued

Code: Select all

Cleaning repos: amahi fedora updates

http://f18.amahi.org/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#6 - "Could not resolve host: f18.amahi.org; Unknown error"

tried going to base server not mirrors by editing yum mirror list

Code: Select all

vi /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo

comment out the mirror list and remove comment on the baseurl - gave same "unknown error" but now it was only looking at the amahi repos. Perhaps my earlier command was a mistake. Will try some more after putting kids to bed.

OK some further research. Appears that the DNS is not working - I changed /etc/resolv.conf to replace the nameserver to google DNS 8.8.8.8, and yum is now working. I don't know enough to actually solve this problem but this short term fix is enough to get packages installed at least. Any help welcome!

Sorry, I did not notice this because it was sent in a separate thread.

Can you run this and share the resulting link?

Code: Select all

apaste /etc/dnsmasq.d/amahi*

Have the same behavior on my test installs.

I see two nameserver entries in my /etc/resolv.conf both pointing to the HDA IP address. I changed the second one to 8.8.8.8 and restarted the network. Once I did that, connectivity returned.

This happens after the initial install, reboot and then network issue. This is what mine shows:

i see. not sure how this got generated, but there is some setting that is not defaulting right.

if this is a machine i have access to, please PM/email me the machine details and i will investigate. i am working on this area at the moment and can work on it today.
