Do you have any plans when you can finish the next version of your VM using iFolder 3.8?
I tried to install 3.8 in a fresh installed SuSe 11.2 VM by myself, but I can’t get it running…

Hi,
Does anybody know why the /simias10 url doesn’t work. I’ve noticed this in every test install I’ve done and hoped it would work in this image. I have done this install as described on this site.

Rgds,

Randy

How can I change the location where the data is stored. I would like to add another drive to the appliance so that I can store the datat there.

Thanks,

I get a 404 error on the Vmware images. Have they been moved?

Hey! For some reason the xen DomU is not starting up…
First error I get when running xm create is:
Error: No kernel specified

Then if you specify a kernel line in the config file this gets resolved. I added:

kernel = “/home/ac3bf1/vmlinuz-2.6.16-xenU”

Gets me one step forwarded, but I get the following error:

[...]
Root-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up.
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
VFS: Insert root floppy and press ENTER

VFS: Cannot open root device “xvda1″ or unknown-block(2,0)
Please append a correct “root=” boot option
Kernel panic – not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(2,0)

So I changed more stuff and go this:
Root-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up.
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
VFS: Insert root floppy and press ENTER

VFS: Cannot open root device “xvda” or unknown-block(2,0)
Please append a correct “root=” boot option
Kernel panic – not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(2,0)

Should the device be xvda, or xvda1?
and what else is needed to get this booting on xen?

thanks and P.S. great work!
Would be good to see a debian release of iFolder

Hi sshaw, This indeed is a great start. Could you educate me about one configuration. ie:

ie we used http://ipaddress/simias10 for public and private URL’s where as for setting up /ifolder and /admin aliases we used http://localhost:80/ as URL. Can you please explain this difference.

Regards,
UdayKiran.
