localhost:2000 cannot be found?

[vbplayr2000]

I have installed Fedora12 on a VirtualBox VM. Fedora is installed and appears to be running properly. I can navigate the internet, however, I cannot find http://localhost:2000?

This is for the latest version of Amahi, v. 5.1 w/Fedora 12.

I installed according to the directions found on the Amahi site with default settings. The domain was defined as localhost.localdomain.

Please let me know how to proceed and what, if any, information is required.

Thanks,
Jeremy

hmm, please check the last lines of

Code: Select all

/tmp/amahi-ruby-installer.log

and see if that brings any details. we recently got a problem.

we recently had one of the packages upstream release something that triggers a bug.

without much more info, all we can say is try the installation troubleshooting page.

else, you can try

Code: Select all

gem install --no-ri --no-rdoc sinatra

Thank you for the quick response.

I am confused by your answer. I have checked the troubleshooting guide and all roads seem to point to doing an install through the web interface (firefox) via the localhost:2000. If I can't access the localhost (I have no idea why not....this seems to be a networking issue somehow, but I am not aware of how to troubleshoot an inability to find the localhost).

Can I workaround the localhost method for installation? Somehow go through the terminal to provide the Amahi HDA Settings?

Thanks,

Jeremy

at the terminal:

Code: Select all

hda-new-install YOURINSTALLCODE

[vbplayr2000]

I tried the hda-new-install with my code, and things seemed to progress pretty well until it came time for the MySQL initialization. Then this message appears:

WARNING: gem install failed .......please run gem install -v=2.3.4 --no-rdoc --no-ri rails by hand until it installs correctly

I tried the hda-new-install again and the same error appears.

I tried the recommended gem install command and the media couldn't be found.

I thought this install was supposed to be simple?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Jeremy

p.s. I looked further and discovered that I have a more current version of Ruby and MySQL installed already. Is this preventing your installation script from finding the fields it requires? How do I resolve this?

[cpg]

you can try as root:

Code: Select all

yum -y install rubygem-rails

also try this slightly different syntax:

Code: Select all

gem install -v 2.3.4 --no-ri --no-rdoc rails

it's weird. some machines get "stuck" some times, not sure how/why.

[cpg]

hey - actually - the other case we saw of this getting "stuck" was also on amahi on VirtualBox (with bigfoot65)!

i wonder if there is something to this - gems getting stuck in VB - weird.

[fguarco]

I just had the same problem installing in VirtualBox.

I only had to do the hda-new-install CODE

and everything worked out ok.

I am using VBox v 3.1.4 r57640

Maybe it is due to the VBox version or VBox config?

[cpg]

wow - three sounds like is more than a coincidence!
