Ovirt devel - May 2008 - Problem with developer installation

Hi,
I wanted to start playing with ovirt so I installed the developer version 
following the instructions on this page:
http://ovirt.org/devel-install.html

The installation finished without problems but when I start firefox on the 
guest according to step 5 I get the following message in the browser:

Authorization Required
This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document 
requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), 
or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.

How exactly does the browser get authorized with the server and does 
anybody have an idea why this isn't working?

I used the F8 boot.iso for the installation because that's what the 
instructions mention but would a F9 iso be ok too or would the setup 
scripts get into trouble with a different distribution?

Regards,
   Dennis

I just powered down the VM and got a "failed" for "Shutting down 
host-browser". Maybe that has something to do with the authorization
problems?

Hi Dennis

I just had the same problem, same message for an appliance that has been 
working fine for days.
 Try restarting the system and then start up developer and node3. Wait a 
while before trying to get the appliance up.
Make sure you are not root when you give the ssh -Y etc command.

Either the abvove worked, or the server was down and is now up :-[ . 
Don't know. but my appliance is now working.

Good luck,
Susan
