Following instructions at http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Building_Ovirt_Engine on an F13 box. Creating the database - Missing pg_hba.conf changes to give access - Use $HERE (attached patch) - Don't use SERVERNAME and domain socket, makes pg_hba.conf more complex - Use ovirt user, not postgres I was not successful with the setup. Take a look at cumin's cumin-database for a good way to manage install and setup of a postgresql dependency. The ability to - 0) yum install ovirt 1) ovirt-database install 2) systemctl start ovirt.service 3) firefox http://localhost/ on Fedora (or RHEL+EPEL) would be great. Best, matt
