Two things to check: That quick start guide used to have the wrong URL for the system VM template but it looks like it has been corrected since then. Check your command line history and see if the template you downloaded was the same as the one in this section:
http://cloudstack-installation.readthedocs.org/en/latest/qig.html#system-template-setup For NFSv4 you need to export a pseudo file system designated by fsid=0, which this guide doesn't mention. See section "18.7.1.1. Using exportfs with NFSv4" in the following article for more information: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-nfs-server-config-exports.html On Tue, May 6, 2014 at 5:33 AM, dimas <smid...@gmail.com> wrote: > Samuel Winchenbach <swinchen@...> writes: > > > > > Hi all, > > > > I am following the quick installation guide exactly (I even setup a > gateway > > w/ IP 172.16.10.1) but I can not get the setup to complete.
