I guess I should double check my emails before sending :) typos galore
in that one. Also, you will need to use

mv RackTables-0.17.4 /var/www/html/racktables

for it to be accessible via the web.

And probably issue a

# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

To restart apache after the updates.

I was searching for a RackTables Virtual Appliance but couldn't find
one so I made one based off of this LAMP virtual appliance
http://virtualappliances.net/products/lamp.php

I downloaded the VA and then imported it into our ESX server. Then I
followed these instructions to install RackTables

http://racktables.org/trac/wiki/RackTablesInstallHowto

With a few changes,

First installed wget using

ap-get install wget

then

apt-get update

then

apt-get install php5-gd

then to get the most current version

wget http://racktables.org/files/RackTables-0.17.4.tar.gz

Then I pretty much followed the RackTablesInstallHowTo (I'm a linux
noob so forgive any errors)

I contacted virtualappliances.net to see if they would host the
RackTables appliance but haven't heard back from them yet. I also
asked at rackTables to see if they were interested. Is anyone
interested in this sort of thing? If someone was interested\new how
and rPath appliance might be cool for someone to do?

Thanks,

Michael
