[Users] big problem with ovirt on Fedora 19

* * Hi, Many posts on the net suggest that if you want to install oVirt on a single machine and you don't have (or don't want to setup) a DNS server, you can stick your host name in /etc/hosts with the IP of the server and be done with this issue. Unfortunately, this trick won't work any more as the engine-setup script uses nslookup and nslookup ignores anything in /etc/hosts So right now I have a Fedora 19 and I cannot even install oVirt latest. Any help? There is a bug I opened about this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=985168 Thanks, Hetz

Hi Hetz, you can use dnsmasq as your local DNS server. I myself use it on several scenarios. Alex 2013/7/17 Hetz Ben Hamo <hetz@hetz.biz>

Alex, IMHO the general problem is that solutions like DNSMasq or even create some local DNS servers are (IMHO anyway) not a solution for anyone who wants to first try to install it for testing. Thanks, Hetz 2013/7/17 Alexandre Santos <santosam72@gmail.com>

Please, use engine-setup-2 when installing it and give us feedback :-) Regards, Sandro Il 17/07/2013 13:00, Hetz Ben Hamo ha scritto:

Hi Sandro, I just tried it. I let it create the DB automatically but when it's installing, it stops in the middle to ask for passowrd, and after I use any password, it gives an error: [ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Misc configuration': Command '/usr/share/ovirt-engine/dbscripts/create_schema.sh' failed to execute I'm enclosing the related log file. btw, I'm on the #ovirt in irc.oftc if you need more testing.. Thanks, Hetz

Can you try to do an engine-cleanup. Uninstall everything including postgres, upgrade otopi, and then try to install ovirt. Let us know if it works Thanks Ravi --------------000508070502080808020307 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <html> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 07/17/2013 07:35 AM, Hetz Ben Hamo wrote:<br> </div> <blockquote cite="mid:CANhJxzw3w=MB42YfYfczvQL8J8uCZ8gpLR95-OiZ1QGRiKa9zA@mail.gmail.com" type="cite"> <div dir="rtl"> <div dir="ltr">Hi Sandro,</div> <div dir="ltr"><br> </div> <div dir="ltr">I just tried it.

Hi, Following Sandro advice and since I didn't have any data in the PostgreSQL, I simply removed the data folder and restarted the setup. There was another error which I mailed here and CC'd Sandro Hetz
