Error during initial install of RC1 on VB
« on: June 14, 2026, 08:52:00 PM »
Testing inside Virtual Box (VB)
            my VB setup is as follows:
            https://wiki.koozali.org/User_talk:Calisun#Testing_SME_server_in_VirtualBox

I went all the way to assigning LAN IP address, I chose 192.168.100.100
and it kicked me back to the window asking me to choose:
  1. Server and Gateway
  2. Private server and gateway
  3. Server-only
and it is stuck in a loop from here on, it keeps going back to this screen.

I had to force VB to power off SME.
After restart, it went though install process again.
This time I chose LAN IP: 192.168.100.10
and now it proceeded to the next step of asking me for last LAN IP address: 192.168.100.250
 
If there is a  maximum limit of last number, maybe we should have a note in that install step.

not sure of what you are asking in your last sentence
192.168.100.X
If X is 100 it gets stuck in a loop.
If X is 10 than it proceeds with install.
So if there is a limit on what X can be, we should have a note of that so the install does not get stuck in a loop.

This is a new RC1 install on a new VirtualBox.

how is configured your lan interface in VB? bridged? nat?
if the latter, which is your virtual subnet/mask?

I followed my own VB install instructions from here:

WAN is NAT
LAN is internal network.
