Hi all, I'm trying to install CentOS 5 as a domU in a CentOS5 dom0 system and I use Virtual Machine Manager to do it. I've dumped all CentOS5 CDs contents in /var/www/CentOS to make a local http media source. It works fine in dom0 browser. When I arrive in "Locating installation media[*]" step I point out to http://localhost/CentOS (which is perfectly active and available) resource, but the application always responds the same: Error, HTTP resource not available. I've also tried with http://127.0.0.1/CentOS but I get the same error message. ???? [*] I follow the http://www.centos.org/docs//5/html/Virtualization-en-US/virt-install-wizard.html documantation. -- Thanks, Jordi Espasa Clofent

So, both dom0 and domUs have their own loopback interface, from domU 127.0.0.1 is its own loopback, and not that of dom0. So, you should enter a IP address that the domU can use to talk to dom0 (like a valid IP address on the network that both domains are on). -- Daniel

The loopback address on Dom0 is not reachable from Domu, because Domu has its own. -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
