[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Problems with downloaded Evergreen Virtual Image

[Ben Shum]

Hi Joel,

I have not tested this much recently, but I tried it just now.  My 
problem with the virtual image revolved mainly in setting up the 
networking options properly.  With my virtualbox, it did not detect the 
default host-only adapters that were set on import of the OVF. I ended 
up changing my network adapters to options that I knew might exist in my 
host environment.  I do not work with VMWare or VirtualBox on a regular 
basis, so I'm not an expert, but perhaps others can chime in with 
solutions if you can help to provide more specific errors / failure 
messages.

Evergreen 2.0.3 is very dated to me, so I think the community should 
plan around making some newer virtual images soon if we continue to 
offer them on the downloads page.

Alternatively, there are members of the community who offer access to 
public demo servers running various versions of Evergreen.  See 
http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=community_servers for details.
