Dan,
Thanks for the response, I have the Gentoo VMware image working fine now.
For some reason (and I will not attempt to guess why) it seemed to not
play well with Windows server 2003 (for me anyway...).
I installed VMware server on a plain-old Windows XP box, and ran the
Gentoo image from there.....ta da!....working fine.
I attribute the client/password issue to "general Windows flakiness."
So now......on to the next question.....I should probably search the
archives and start a new thread...but I'll toss it out here to see if
it's a common question with a canned-response:
Any how-to's (or ILS for Dummies books?) for installing sample data
(users and/or MARC records).....???
(please forgive my ignorance on this subject......I'm a tech guy....not
a book guy....so I need something with small words and lots of pictures)

Hi all,
I just downloaded and installed the latest (1.2.0) Evergreen on Gentoo
VM image for a couple of my people to take a look at.
I set the image up to bridge the NIC on a win2003 server....all is good.
My ifconfig on the Gentoo image shows an IP of 10.1.4.91/16 (DHCP issued IP)
Followed the directions, started Apache, changed the admin password etc
etc etc....
I can access the OPAC by browsing to that IP from another machine on my
network.
(I left the default host name on the VMware image, and added the FQDN
and IP to my windows workstation HOSTS file, so I can also browse by
FQDN as well)
However, I seem to have some issues setting up the client correctly.
I seem to be unable to find the final 1_2_0 client so I tried 1_2_0rc4.
No joy.
It sees the server ( or at least the re-test server status and version
both come back OK) but always returns a network/server failure.
Since I don't have a help desk (thats me...) I thought I'd best post the
message to the friendly Evergreen admins on this list.....
error reads:
method=open-ils.auth.authenticate.init
params=["admin"]
THROWN:
null
STATUS:
Clearing the message and continuing, gives me an expired certificate
warning a domain name mismatch for host 10.1.4.91(localhost), and ends
with a lock-up.
I'm guessing this is some sort of network communication/name error
betwixt my workstation and server.
Both the workstation and the VMware image can ping each other (ip
address) with no problem.
Workstation can ping server by FQDN.
The server was able to recognize the workstation and I was given the
option to name it...so I did.
The latest client (Staff Client 3) does pretty much the same
thing...except I get a auth.session.init network/server error and it
kicks me back to the client.
Any Ideas where I should start??
Hi Scott:
A few ideas:
1) Can you log into the Evergreen OPAC using the admin username and password?
1a) How about from srfsh (change "open-ils" to whatever password you set)?
# su - opensrf
$ srfsh
srfsh# login admin open-ils
2) Do you have any useful information from the logs in
/openils/var/log/, particularly osrfsys.log and router.log?
3) If you want to try using the latest staff client, you'll need to
create symbolic links in /openils/var/web/xul from HEAD to
rel_1_2_1_4.
I apologize for the state of the Gentoo VMWare image; at this point,
it's getting pretty long in the tooth. When Evergreen 1.2.2 gets
released, I'll make a point of trying to bring the Gentoo VMWare image
up to date.
