rPath Appliance development release for Version 0.2.90

**Well I have been so quiet lately that you probably thought I was missing.**I was in a way but I am now back.

In my absence the rpath appliance development has leaped forward in huge amounts.Thanks to Stu Gott who is far more familiar with rPath than I am we have

our first development release of Bongo on the RPath platform. This new

release can be found here

To install from a CD created from an ISO use this link

http://www.rpath.org/rbuilder/downloadImage?fileId=21395

Be careful as this install is a new operating system on the machine you

insert this cd into. Only use this cd if you intend to use this machine

only for a Bongo server. It will remove any data that is currently on

the machine.

For a Xen raw file system image appliance use this link

http://www.rpath.org/rbuilder/downloadImage?fileId=21401

You will need Xen installed to use this disk image

For a VMware player image use this link

http://www.rpath.org/rbuilder/downloadImage?fileId=21402

Root's password is blank for the images so remember to change it if you are going to use this live on the net.

When the appliance starts up you will see that a URL is shown for the administration of the appliance. The address should look like this

1https://<IP Address of Server>:8003

The default username is admin and the password is password.

Click OK and follow the instructions to change the password and to complete the other steps. During this setup you will have the opportunity to set the hostname and domain name this is a good time to set these as they are critical to the bongo server setup.

As part of the initial appliance login you also get to set the ipaddress and primary domain that will be hosted by the bongo appliance.

When this is complete you will have a working bongo install.

Please test this as soon as possible so that we can iron out problems and work on your suggestions to make it better.
