vicibox redux 3.1 64bit install fails while booting live cd

[marmu]

Hi all,

I just tried to set up a new vicidial server with vicibox redux 3.1.9 64 bit. While booting the live CD I get the following on the command line:

Code: Select all

...
mounting compressed unified tree...
failed to mount ext3 clic container
failed to mount root filesystem
rebootException rebooting in 120 sec

Server specs:
Fujitsu RX300 S6
Chipset: Intel 5520
2x Xeon X5650
12 GB RAM
2x 3.5” SAS 450 GB harddrives (RAID1 based on LSI SAS2108)

Vicibox redux 3.0.6 32 bit installed without any problems, except updating wasn't possible. because the repositories weren't accessible, but this can be a firewall issue... so don't mind.

Any help is highly appreciated. Has someone experienced similar problems? Is there a vicibox redux 64 bit version which you would recommend me?

Thank a lot in advance.

Cheers,
Marcus

I just checken vicibox redux 3.0.7 64 bit and that one works. Hopefully this saves others some hours

Thanks again for the great vicibox redux ISOs, they saved me already a lot of time!

hmm, why does opensuse want to change the architecture for some perl packages?? Will that be a problem, I think so...

Code: Select all

The following packages are going to change architecture:
  perl-Archive-Zip       x86_64 -> noarch
  perl-Digest-HMAC       x86_64 -> noarch
  perl-Error             x86_64 -> noarch
  perl-HTML-Tagset       x86_64 -> noarch
  perl-Parse-RecDescent  x86_64 -> noarch

Will try the update and after that "vicibox-install". Wish me luck

all good, but I am struggling with getting the new server to the same state as my old test-server...

seems like /usr/share/astguiclient/ADMIN_update_server_ip.pl didn't update all relevant database entries. I had to and still have to update (mainly) the server_ip in several tables in the SQL-database.

hmm, perhaps my other post http://www.vicidial.org/VICIDIALforum/viewtopic.php?t=17687&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight= is a better place to discuss that

That just means that those packages do not contain any binary-compiled files. So the package maintainer changed them to NoArch which means they are platform-neutral. Just like PHP and C source code are not binary files but run my binary code at the platform. It will not cause any problems.

Hi,

I have successfully completed all the steps of installation 3-4 times but in the end it always asks about linux login where i have used root & password & it always shows thats incorrect where in I am able to login to CentOS 5 using the same ROOT & password. I really dont know where the problem is.

Please guide.

Thanx & Regards

What is the name of the .iso you are installing? (full name including version)

[sandeepprodel]

the full name & version is
ViciBox_Redux.x86_64-3.1.9.iso

thanx

[williamconley]

Are you using this manual:

http://download.vicidial.com/iso/vicibo ... nstall.pdf

And then (after install):

http://www.vicidial.org/store.php#MANAGER

Hey thanx for the help I was not using the correct password .
Now again I am stuck on the part where it installing... It started deleting logical volume but got an error message instead which said... unable to delete logical volume.. so trying to work those options....
Any more suggestion will be appreciated

Thanx again

[williamconley]

when you have issues with that (with any os) you should go in with that partition editor (or any other) and delete all existing partitions. then you'll be starting with a clean slate as it were.

there are lots of those available (free, of course).

I could not install it fully so finally I m gonna pay some 1 to do that for me....
coz after installation there would be configuration part

But would try to learn it again.
Is the configuration part more complicated than installation ???

Thanx

[williamconley]

After installation, you use the Vicidial Manager's Manual to configure. Depends on how well you follow tutorials and how "standard" your "minutes" provider is. Some find it simple, some skip lines or don't understand and have a hard time doing it.
