Sounds like autogen.sh hasn't been run.

I've tried just the hostname and also just the server's IP. Are you entering "http://hostname" or "hostname"? The latter is what you need to enter. Perhaps we should add a check in the client for "://" to warn about invalid hostnames, or to ignore the protocol part. > As a side note, I can get to the Local System Administration via a browser > on a windows machine, so I think EG is install correctly. That's a positive sign, at least. -- Dan Scott Laurentian University
