First off I would run the "scripts/start_over" script to clean up the cruft from previous installs since this appears to be a problem. I think most of the errors you are seeing come from this inconsistent install environment. Then you could get a complete install log as well, since this version of oscar does not keep the old logs when you rerun the wizard.
However, this error was bothersome, as it seems to show that your network isn't set up quite right. /opt/oscar/scripts/set_node_nics: warning - no gateway addresses found for this machine at /opt/oscar/scripts/set_node_nics line 510. For OSCAR to work properly you need a fully qualified domain name and things tend to work beter if your /etc/hosts file is of the form: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain 192.168.0.1 domainname domainname.edu On 10/6/06, Hiwot Tesfaye <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear Roger > > Thank you for your response, > I have attached a compressed and normal oscar installation log file , please > advice further... > > Kind Regards > H.T > > > > On 10/4/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] < > [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Send Oscar-users mailing list submissions to > > [email protected] > > > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > > > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oscar-users > > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > You can reach the person managing the list at > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > > than "Re: Contents of Oscar-users digest..." > > > > > > Today's Topics: > > > > 1.
