Cannot install appliances #840

Open lenineto opened 10 years ago

lenineto commented 10 years ago

Hi guys, I've been using vmcasts and installing appliances on my VMs without problems. Suddenly, i cannot install applicances anymore. When I try to install any appliance I get this error Cannot install appliance: TNApplianceDecompresser: cannot unpack because unpack() has returned exception: file could not be opened successfully

I tried both with and without zip compression, same problem.

I can succesfully create new appliances from my VMs, but I can no longer attach an existing appliance.

Any clues?

Thanks

Check the VMCasts URL from your browser or RSS reader, and check if are able to download the files. I guess you misconfigured your web server. I haven't used VMCasts for quite a long so I may be wrong though.

Hi Nowaker. Thanks for your reply. I've checke and my VMCast URL is correct. I can also download the file xvm2 file from the browser. The strange thing is this was working fine before. I have nginx configured to the vmcasts folder, so i use my url like http://myserver.domain.com:8080/ instead of http://myserver.domain.com:8080/vmcasts

That shouldn't be a problem, right? I mean the vhost is properly configured on nginx and also archipel.conf is matching the VMCast URL.

I remember some problems with these URLs. Just in case check /vmcasts.

I was going to setup VMCasts for myself anyway, so I will do that during the weekend and let you know if it works for me.

Thanks man. I do appreciate your attention. I'll try to revert the url back to /vmcasts, and let you know if it makes any difference for me as well.

Cheers,

Hi Nowaker. I reverted back to default URL /vmcasts and it works! Nice tip. Thanks buddy.

Hey Nowaker, maybe you can give me a clue again. Now that my appliances are working fine, when I try to create an appliance from an existing VM, sometimes it works fine, sometimes it doesn't. I'm trying to package a VM with a 50GB hard drive (compacted image size about 1.2GB), and it fails. I do the same with another VM, 20GB hard drive, and it works fine. Do you think it could be a timeout issue or something? I've plenty of space for the operation in my hd.

Thanks

So I'd need to check. I didn't setup the VM Casts for me, as you were first to close the issue. I will do that at the weekend I think and let you know.
