Problems with initial web page et al

hello,

I just downloaded Foglight and created a VM from the .ova file.

Logging into the Foglight server worked from the console - I needed to manually change the ipaddress. 

I can ping the Foglight server from a workstation on another subnet.

Following the instructions, I am then to connect with a web browser.

This fails as if the server is not up.

Port 80 appears to not be open, but tomcat is running.  Netstat -ano says tomcat has no open ports.

On a probablly related note, when I attempt to use putty (ssh) to this guest VM, I am challenged for a password, and

enter the default one from the install doc, but this fails with access denied.

When i use ssh from a linux box on the subnet, it registers the machine, then drops the connection.  Subsequent connections from this host fail with a  'man in the middle' warning.

Ideas?

Thanks -

Rob

Hi Rob,

When you changed the IP address, did you use the script /usr/local/vkernel/scripts/changeIp.sh?  If you tried setting it manually using other methods, Tomcat's configuration files will not be updated, and so the web server will not respond.

The default login/password for SSH use is vkernel/vkernel.  Some people type it as "vkernal" but it is "vkernel".  Root will not function over SSH.  You will need to "su" to root once you've connected as vkernel.

Hi Brad -

Thanks for responding.

Using the changeIp.sh script a second time seems to have solved my problems - I'm able to log into tomcat, and ssh as vkernel works as well.

Thanks for your time!
