Thanks. I've already installed apache on that other server and will
probably try it tomorrow when I get back in the office.
Am I right to assume that I should loop-mount the DVD image and point
the HTTP URL to the root of this loop-mount?
You will need to point to the RPM directory, but I have worked with it
a long time ago.
Try to look on the console (ALT-F4 or something) when installing, in
order to see on where it try to find the packages, after you provide
the http url to the repository.
Good luck,
Kfir
I don't recall if this was already mentioned: for http (and ftp)
installs, you indeed have to point to a directory with the rpm files.
However installing over nfs you point to an exported directory with the
original iso file. No need for loop-back mounting.
