Installed, now what?

If you've installed 8.0.1.1, then point a web browser to https:// and you should see a login, use root + the root password you've specified during the install...

Thanks Alan

Something seems to have gone wrong. The installation reported that it finished, but there's no PBX functionality installed. I've just tried wiping out the VM and starting again and got the same problem. Asterisk isn't installed, the network isn't configured, there's no Web GUI running etc.

I'm installing on XenServer 6.5.0-90233c and I configured the VM with the defaults for Centos 6, with a 12GB HDD and 1GB RAM. This is my test server - if I use it in production it'll go on VMWare VSphere.

I'll attach my installer logs. Please let me know if you need any further information.

Was the network configuration step executed? Where you set the network address, configure DNS etc and save configuration? Installer tells you that it will run system-config-network and then runs it

No, it said "Installation Finished" and rebooted without running that step.

Hi Russell,
I've done a quick install and i've taken some screenshots, i'll do up a little guide in the next few days...

Basic steps are as follows:
Create VM & mount ISO - Start install
It asks a few basic questions and installs most things (Timezone, root password)
It will then reboot, and start another script to install/configure a few more packages like Asterisk
It will then prompt you: Please press Enter and you will be asked to login.
Login as root and it will then automatically start the network-config wizard...
Configure Eth0 with your appropriate IP settings...
Once you finish doing that, it will then reboot again...
Then once you see the login screen, again login as root and it will be ready to go...

Open up a browser (eg. Chrome) and point it to the IP you configured...

The username to log into the webpage is root + the root password you set during the install...

Then there is another wizard to go through... But that's for another post...

NOTE: I had an Xmas party last night and im still a little hungover, so if i've made any mistakes, I apologise in advance...

Alan.

Alan,

Thank you very much! I is really nice of you to take your time and help. Even more so, considering that it was after a Xmas party :)

Hi Alex,

No worries... Happy to help... Feeling a little better now with some sleep, water and painkillers... :)

I've quickly documented the process with some screenshots here:

If i've messed anything up or if you think there is some detail missing, let me know and i can update it...

Alan.

Thanks Alan
Your screenshots show 802 packages installed, but my system only has 183 installed when the process completes and reboots the machine. No further configuration occurs.

Russell, might be worth downloading the new ISO which was made available a few hours ago and trying again... Its worked flawlessly for me every time...

Thanks Alan
I tried again and had the same problem, but it occurred to me that I've had trouble with CentOS on XenServer a while back, so I tried identifying the VM as 'other installation media' rather than 'CentOS 6 x64'. It's installing 804 packages now.

Seems XenServer passes options to the installer that prevent it from doing the default installation.

After the installation completed, Asterisk crashed and dumped core every time it tried to start. I eventually gave up and installed it on a server in our production environment on VMWare. Seems to be working fine so far. Might be a XenServer issue, or something specific to my hardware (old sun fire machine).

Hi Russell,

Glad that you've been able to get it to work... I'm also using VMWare...

Alan.
