[Ovirt-devel] Install oVirt in fc11/fc12

[Thomas Samson]

I apologize in advance if I'm responding to this thread inappropriately, 
as I just subscribed to this mailing list in order to add to this 
discussion topic. I'm not a developer, but I am interested in creating 
clusters of stateless nodes using ovirt and hope to contribute in the 
form of feedback and bug reports.

I am also having difficulty installing ovirt using the current 
instructions, though I believe I've gotten further than you have. After 
multiple days of troubleshooting and reinstalling I finally managed to 
get the web interface up at https://adminserver/ovirt, however it only 
shows the Tasks section and the event "500 Internal Server Error" 
appears over and over again.

To fix your locale module issue, see the gem commands in my list of 
steps below.


Can someone help us get this working? Any help would be appreciated!


Here are the steps I performed in order to get this far. Is there an 
easier way to install ovirt than this?
