Guest Installation via local http fails

[Claus Reheis]

Hi all!

I found some time and thought about playing around with Xen 3.1 in
Fedora 7!
I tried to setup Fedora 7 as a para-virtualized guest on a Fedora 7 host
with help of a nice howto in the O`Reilly book about Fedora what suggest
the folling steps:

1)Setup a network installation server in Dom0:

setenforce 0

ln -s /media/disk/ /var/www/html/fedora

service httpd start

2)Start the Installation with virt-manager

The installation starts up fine until I can choose the installation
method!I choose http and after I always get the Error message:

"Unable to retrieve http://192.168.0.123/fedora//images/stage2.img "

The strange things are the two *//* !I cant get rid of it!I tried any
combination who came to my mind, but no success until now...

When I open Firefox and go to

http://192.168.0.123/fedora/images/stage2.img

or

localhost/fedora/images/stage2.img

the file just downloads fine without any error!
I tried the http installation from a fedora server:

http://limestone.uoregon.edu/ftp/fedora/linux/7/Fedora/x86_64/os/

No problem either!
So what is wrong with my attempt to install from the local server?

Thanks for your help,

Claus

1. I'm not sure if the above can work with ln -s ... , so why not to
mount directly under /var/www ....

2. your iptables setting for http maybe ?
