Here is the error listing while trying to make a new template from VM.

My setup is latest version of everything on CentOS 64 bit with kernel Linux 2.6.32-042stab049.2 on x86_64

Hi,

sorry for slow reply, had to do some skiing last week

It seems like pfff is missing. Could you please try rpm -qa |grep pfff?

We'll probably move back to sha1/md5 hash functions - they are quite a bit slower, but do come as a standard on more OSs.

Result is

Code: [Select]

[root@community dump]# rpm -qa |grep pfff
pfff-1.0-4.asys.x86_64

[ilja_l]

Ok, and is pfff on the PATH?

Also, I see than you have a space in the template name - is this intentional? I fear it might not be supported/a bug at the moment as no escaping is done on symbols.

[ilja_l]

Hi,

did you manage to get it working?

cheers,
Ilja

I didn't notice that I put a space in there....let me try building a new template without spaces and see how the create VM goes.

[ilja_l]

Actually, it's a question whether spaces are allowed in a template's name. While nothing prohibits it technically, I was thinking of perhaps enforcing no-space rule with escaping/substituting whitespaces with _ . Makes it easier and shorter in the long run to e.g. download templates with curl/wget and write scripts with regular expressions.

On the other hand, it seems as a harsh restriction.
