Re: Newbie Here - Can't get Web Interface to work

[brown wrap]

Thank you. I stumbled upon some directions that gave me all the command line commands to
add systems, profiles, etc. I then looked back at the interface and it had fields, filled
in that I hadn't added, but now I see what they were looking for.

As far as the errors go, the screen said 'error', go back. Nothing more. I
didn't know where to look for the problem. Thanks again.

Hi there,

The web interface will sometime generate error if you are trying to do
things out of sequence. For example, if you are trying to create a
profile without selecting an already existing distro, etc.

Usually, I add the distro in the command line as I find it better suites
me. Then, once the distro is there, create the profile in the GUI.

If you still have trouble, please just report what specific error your
getting and at what point you are getting it.

Cheers,
Pete
