errors with ` hda-install` on existing fedora 9 system

[devrieshh]

after rebooting the system i havent internet acces(with static ip),after pointing dhcp in `network` and restarting network i have internet acces again.
when i want to open hda in browser it says, no hda on this server...
On amahi control center,after logging in,it doesnt "running" (green light),so the server hasnt "locked in" a dynamic ip address .It says` system missing` and than change ` to awaiting install`...
maybe because of the changed prompt? root@dhcpp0#


thanks for some advice

it seems like you have a busted network configuration.

when you use dhcp from your router what IP you get?

what settings for network did you set up in amahi.org?

i bet you they are different networks?

after using DHCP...

[root@localhost ~]# ifconfig

this are my networksettings.
I tryed filling in static ip 10.0.2.15 but that didnt work...

should the Default gateway IP something else?
thanks for some advise.

uhm yes, you're mixing two different networks/subnets:
first: your host is in network 10.0.0.0
second: your gateway is in network 192.168.0.0
if you don't have a router inbetween those two networks (routing the traffic from one network to another) this won't work. funny thing is that that router is then your default gateway

soooo how do you resolve? either configure your router to be in the range of your host (10.0.0.x) or the other way around (192.168.0.x)
Just make sure your gateway is in the same network as the hda/pc's etc... so they either all have 10.0.0.x addresses or 192.168.0.x addresses. Of course IP addresses need to be unique.

my config:
router 192.168.1.1
hda 192.168.1.2
printer 192.168.1.3
wii 192.168.1.4
network hdd 192.168.1.5
rest is done over dhcp/configured manually from .6 to .10
I tend to reserve 192.168.x.1 through 192.168.x.20 for manual stuff/servers etc.

have you read the Amahi Setup Guide ?

at one point you said:

I have reinstalled fedora 9 with amahi(recommended way)and everything went ok.

what happened?

now - if you are messing with the network configurations at the fedora level, it's probably not going to work.

the system is designed so that your settings in amahi.org as you entered them have to match your network/router configuration.

so, perhaps you need to figure out first what your router/gateway address is.

then program your settings in http://www.amahi.org/user to be exactly matching what you have.

after that, you should have picked an address for your hda within that network. the install will make sure this is configured as a static address.

you should not be touching the network configuration in fedora, because amahi will override it anyway.

now - with new configuration, which we can change, or you can also change by deleting your HDA profile and creating a new one, you can type

Code: Select all

hda-install -f -n YOURINSTALLCODE

with your old (or new, of you created a new profile), and this will re-sync your network settings.

perhaps it's indeed best to create a new installation profile, but one matching your current network settings in your router. You can always revert to the old config if you need the old settings.

I reinstalled amahi withmy actual internet settings 10.0.2.2 etc.instead of 192.168.x.x and finally completed the install of amahi...

thanks for the help

[moredruid]

great to hear it finally works for you!

@cpg: perhaps we should add a little to the installation manual, for instance how to obtain the current IP address of the system to see which network is currently configured on the host from which the installation manual is being read (do I make sense?)

[devrieshh]

yes, you have to do an ifconfig than probably after enabling dhcp to amahi.org login,getting new profile,use ifconfig ip for hda and the rest of ifconfig output,than run hda-install -f (code)..

yes, it worked on both computers, on virtualbox (with ip 10.0.xx) and a normal system(192.168.xx)

Most important thing is adding the correct ip in amahi controllcenter on http://www.amahi.org (what you can get with ifconfig command) then everything goes by itself.
