Amahi 7 Express

Second reboot is not occurring

If the second reboot does not occur, this means the install is not finished. One reason for this to happen is a wrong setting in the Network page of your Installer. By default it says this and we recommend this is left as is:

 Hostname: localhost.localdomain

However, I had filled in my host names

The solution was to leave the Network page of the installer the defaul localhost.localdomain Most likely the second dot caused the problems.

HTTP server is not started by default

After succesfull second reboot I noticed that the Amahi dashboard did not work. I noticed that there was not running the http server, via the command

 ps -ef | grep http

This command showed me that an error occurred during startup of the http service. It could not resolve the hostname I gave it:

 systemctl status httpd

These commands started the httpd server, showing me that it was started correctly:

systemctl restart httpd
systemctl status httpd

After a reboot this error occurred again. Now changing the value in /etc/hostname to

  localhost

fixed this. After a reboot the http service is now started as it should be.

We recommend you leave the values in the Amahi express install at the network section to its default value:

 localhost.localdomain

Amahi 6 Express

Reboot Loop

Sometimes, the express cd installer gets caught in a reboot loop.

It asks you to reboot, then it tells you it needs to reboot again over and over. If you are one of the lucky ones experiencing this, here's what to do:

If there is no network, you can try this:

  • Select debug
  • system-config-network (configure your network interface correctly ( I used static ) / also make sure your dns are configured exit the system-config-network)
  • /etc/init.d/network restart
  • check that eth0 has started, if not edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0; modify ONBOOT=no to ONBOOT=yes; then issue the "ifup eth0" command.
  • ConfigAmahi (wait for a while untill it says reboot, then reboot)

Yum Update

If you try to do yum update after install and have problems, try this solution.
