Hi,

    I have been building and running engine on my dev machine from  
source. Today I tried to install and setup engine from RPM on another  
machine. I followed the procedure from  
http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Installing_ovirt_from_rpm. But I get the  
following error -

oVirt Engine will be installed using the following configuration:
=================================================================
override-httpd-config:         yes

Proceed with the configuration listed above? (yes|no): yes

Please check log file  
/var/log/ovirt-engine/engine-setup_2012_08_03_16_16_41.log for more

And the log shows -

     raise Exception(output_messages.ERR_FAILED_START_SERVICE % self.name)
Exception: Error: Can't start the ovirt-engine service

I verified that there was no java process running before starting  
'engine-setup'. I also noticed that .../standalone/deployment/  
directory only had a README file.

Any Clues?
