Ovirt devel - May 2009 - $guest_httpd_ipaddr missing in ovirt-appliance.pp

Hello,

I have followed the steps in http://ovirt.org/build-instructions.html  
to build a physical host and run oVirt Server as a virtual appliance  
on it.

It almost worked flawlessly, except for one thing. The file ovirt- 
appliance.pp doesn't contain a $guest_httpd_ipaddr variable, which is  
used to assemble the httpd configuration file when the appliance boots  
for the first time.

When generating an ovirt.pp file through ovirt-installer that variable  
is included, but the appliance relies on the ovirt-appliance.pp  
already built in. When the install arrives at the step of creating the  
httpd conf files it fails and exits without executing the rest of the  
tasks.

Is there a workaround to make that variable present in the appliance  
before it is started up for the first time?


Thanks

Gilberto

Interesting -- we have not tested building the appliance lately.

Joey, is there an easy solution to this problem?
