Hello all!

I am currently testing Server OS's for my server architecture and came across ClearOS. Currently running Mageia Server, I wanted to test it and installed it on a VM.

I can go through the entire install process with no issues, during installation I configured the root password first as the password I had generated for the account, and on a second occasion, I made it insanely easy (test123). Neither attempts worked at all, and I'm not sure why.

I have attached screenshots, which is basically all of the info that I have access to that I can provide.

I realize that the screenshots are of the community/free variety, however if I can make this work I plan on purchasing the Home SOHO license, so any help is going to be greatly appreciated.

I thought I replied but it vanished.

We apologise for the error and have already pushed an update to the Community and paid customers get the update tonight, We are trying to build a new iso as well.

You should be able to get to a text console with a ctl-alt-f3. From there do a "yum update clearos-framework --enablerepo=clearos-updates". A full "yum update" may also work as the packages should have sync'd to the repos by now.

If you can't get to a text console like that, you should be able to do a couple of alt+left-arrow's to get back to the first screen where there is a "Exit to Console" button.

After the update you may need to do a refresh (f5 as it is a cutdown Firefox browser?) or reboot ("reboot" from the command line).

    Looks like the new build from last night was the trick. I'm currently configuring it now to evaluate the home edition. Thanks so much!

    Please don't do that. The new iso was not published yesterday. I'll try to find the link to the 7.5 iso which works ok.

    Thank you for your response.

    What I will do is start with a fresh download of the ISO and see if that resolves the issue. I'm actually excited to test the OS to see if it will match our needs.

    Or, just edit the file /usr/clearos/framework/application/config/config.php and change line 416 to:
    $config['cookie_secure']	= FALSE;
    Available editors are vi and nano.
