Master Installation

Use the guide at http://docs.solusvm.com/installation

Before you start, ensure you have PHP installed at /usr/bin/php, otherwise the installer will bail. You will also need glibc.i686 for SolusVM's prebuilt binaries to run. Without this, you will have a bad time getting the control panel to work.

yum -y install wget php-cli glibc.i686
[root@default ~]# ./install

 Add this slave to your SolusVM master using the following details:

 ID Password ..... : 5WUX29HDKRDMSYQZS4AXRDY35BCVF0FFR5HN209

IMPORTANT!! You need to setup a network bridge before you can use KVM on this server.
 Please see the following link: http://wiki.solusvm.com/index.php/KVM_Network_Bridge_Setup

 Please set SELINUX=disabled in /etc/selinux/config before rebooting.


Thankyou for choosing SolusVM.


KVM Bridge Setup

Follow the instructions at http://docs.solusvm.com/kvm_bridge_setup

However, you'll most probably have a broken network after following their steps. Ensure that you have only the following files defined:

[root@default network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE="eth0" HWADDR="00:0C:29:16:BB:F8" IPV6INIT="yes" ONBOOT="yes" UUID="f3f6c48c-09fe-4991-94a3-794fdc637c1b" BRIDGE="br0" [root@default network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-br0 DEVICE=br0 TYPE=Bridge BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=172.20.1.239 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 ONBOOT=yes DELAY=0

[root@default network-scripts]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=default gateway=172.20.1.1


Troubleshooting

vpsadmin / vpsadmin does not work after installation

Symptom: When you are trying to login for the first time at http://ip:5353/admincp/login.php with vpsadmin/vpsadmin, you do not get past the login screen without any error messages.

Solution: Ensure glib.i686 is installed.
