Installation Steps

[Rose Robinson]

Hi everyone. I hope everyone is having a great week. Looking forward
to meeting everyone next week.

I wanted to be better prepared before the meeting tomorrow so I took
this week to read through wiki and download/install necessary
software, but not getting there yet.

I didn't have some of the required/suggested memory size when creating
a new VM (using Virtual Box). I went with the default, but now I have
to create a new one. Is this documented anywhere for this project?
The default was 64MB. Also the suggested image size was way lower than
I downloaded. Is anyone else having this issue with Virtual Box and
could perhaps provide some suggestions.

Thanks.

I'm afraid that I don't have suggestions, but I would urge you to
document your findings.
Please register for the wiki:

& then edit the page with the issues (& solutions) that you find:

Many thanks,
Fran.

Thanks and I am documenting as I go along and will definitely update
wiki.

I'm still having problems importing the appliance. Getting the
following error: "Failed to import appliance Eden-Dev.ovf. The SHA1
digest of 'Eden-Dev.vmdk' does not match the one in 'Eden-Dev.mdf'."

1. Downloaded file from http://sahanafoundation.org/Eden-VM.zip (US)
2. Downloaded Virtual Box 3.2.8 for Windows hosts x86/amd64 from
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

My OS is Windows 7. Is the UK version slightly different? Should I
try that one? That will take awhile to download so I'll get it started
just in case.

Thanks.

Rose --

I'm still having problems importing the appliance.  Getting the

following error: "Failed to import appliance Eden-Dev.ovf.  The SHA digest of 'Eden-Dev.vmdk' does not match the one in 'Eden-Dev.mdf'."

I wonder if the hash of the vmdk file wasn't recomputed the last time the vm image was rebuilt.  I'm wondering -- are there dates on the files in the zip archive?  Can you open the mdf file to see if there are dates on what it contains?  Don't know if Windows explorer will open it.  It's a DVD/CD image format so an app that extracts / burns images might show the contents.  (It would take me 2 hours to download to check...)  If you get it open and there are dates, is the hash older than the vm image?

Just installed VirtualBox and Sahana Eden again (long story ..
burglary .. lost my laptop...) and was able to do it without any of
the issues that Rose has encountered. Installed on a Macbook Pro using
the US download. Louiqa

This sounds like a corrupted download, but I'm surprised that the Zip
wrapper didn't complain?

Same here

No, identical...
