Hi guys,

Sorry if this email will sound a bit off, but it's rather late at night and 
i've spent ages trying to figure out why ACS 4.3 is broken on a newly created 
install with XenServer 4.3.

Could someone responsible for documentation please make the following 
corrections to make sure that people following the installation guide will 
actually end up with a working installation. At the moment, the installation 
guide has mistakes/omissions which prevent users from having a working 
CloudStack environment. It just looks rather unprofessional (((

Issues I've found so far (there might be more)

1. When installing the management server on Ubuntu server please add to 
requirement to install libmysql-java by running:

apt-get install libmysql-java

I can confirm this, it seems to be missing from the packages.

@wido, do you know about this ? It seems that we might be missing a dependency 
in the deb packages. At least on 14.04.


Yes, I know about this and wrote a blogpost about it: http://blog.widodh.nl/2014/03/sql-connection-error-after-upgrade-to-cloudstack-4-3-0/

I fixed this in March in the master branch and it's also in the 4.3 and 4.4 branches: https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cloudstack.git;a=commit;h=b141641528d6723114c12499ea37acc31b1ce320

Or the management server will not start. Produces a java exception complaining 
about unable to connect to the sql database


2. Please change the debian repo from:

deb http://cloudstack.apt-get.eu/ubuntu precise 4.2

to

deb http://cloudstack.apt-get.eu/ubuntu precise 4.3 It would be also good to 
change that line with every new version release. You do want users to install 
the latest version of ACS, don't you?


3. Please update the section about downloading vhd-util if you are using 
XenServer and indicate that this file would also have to be manually copied to 
XenServer to /opt/cloud/bin folder. This bit is missing from documentation and 
because of this system vms will no get created. Simply downloading the file 
into the locattion indicated in the installation guide is not enough. It is not 
being copied to the xenserver host automatically.

Cheers

Andrei
