XOMB(OS) VM Installation

From XOMBO Documentation

Networking Setup

After downloading the XOMB(OS) virtual machine, you will need to configure it to work on your network:

NOTE: Do not use these commands on a server that is already configured and hosting applications. It could cause irreversible damage to your configurations and interrupt service to your users.

• Ensure that you have setup the VM's networking device as "bridged", so that the interface is available from the same network your computer is on.

• Start the VM.

• After the machine has successfully booted and you see the XOMB(OS) logo, you should be able to press any key in the console and it will bring up the system menu.

• Select "Configure Networking" in the menu with the arrow keys and press the ENTER key (if this is the first time booting the machine, it will automatically start the network configuration tool at boot time).

• The machine will ask you about your network, have the next few pieces of information prepared before you begin.

• Host Name: enter the domain or host name that the machine will respond to HTTP requests on. Port 80 for the domain should be forwarded to the XOMB(OS) VM. Do not include "www." in the host name.

• Gateway IP: This is the machine that your XOMB(OS) VM routes its internet connection through.

• Local IPv4 Address: This is the address of the XOMB(OS) VM you are configuring on the local network.

• DNS IPv4 Address: This is the address of the DNS server that will provide service to the XOMB(OS) VM.

The configuration assistant will write the configuration files. Select "Yes" in the confirmation dialog to install the new configuration files.

Select "Reboot" from the system menu to reboot the system and apply the settings.

Updating Platform

Your download may not have the latest version of XOMBO Platform installed. Use these commands at the single-user command line interface at the XOMB(OS) VM console or login with the user account via SSH:

   svn update ~/www

This should download the latest version of XOMBO Platform from the current/trunk branch of the SVN server. Please note that if major database changes have occurred between the version of XOMB(OS) and the current release version of Platform that you may have to initialize the database as per these instructions.

Default Accounts

Your installation comes configured with the following default accounts that should be changed as soon as you have successfully gotten the VM online.

   SSH User: xombo
   SSH Password: xombo

   Web User: xombo@xombo.org
   Web Password: xombo

NOTE: If you do not enable routing to the SSH port that a password change is not required via the command line. Simply login to your account on the web interface and configure your password and login name for subsequent visits.
