I got it working! I restored the box from vmware template and followed the link you provided: http://graylog2.org/resources/documentation/general/packages
I used this page to do the hashes in the two conf files: http://www.robertshady.com/content/centralized-logging-how-setup-and-configure-graylog2-log-server-debian-wheezy I used this command (found else where) to generate my admin password first: PASSWORD=$(echo -n password | shasum -a 256 | awk '{print $1}') sudo -E sed -i -e 's/root_password_sha2 =.*/root_password_sha2 = '$PASSWORD'/' /etc/graylog2.conf I did find that my paths/conf files were different than the robertshady.com link and on some other guides (dunno). But I now have a graylog2 splash page and can login! I've made another template/clone of this build and am now ready to break it! http://i.imgur.com/P3Hzlse.png On Wednesday, August 27, 2014 5:07:03 PM UTC-4, Jochen Schalanda wrote: > > Hi, > > this sounds like an incomplete installation to me.
