Last modified: 2008-02-20 18:30:26 EST
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Opera/9.25 (Windows NT 5.0; U; en) Description of problem: I am trying to install Fedora 8 thru http. I use TinyWeb as my webserver (local only for installing) as I have no DVD burner not any idea on how to make CD from the iso. As soon as I enter the root password, it gives me the error that it can not find the repository metadata. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anacondabase-200711021053.i386 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Install from the http Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional info:
There should be entries in the error log on the webserver stating which files are not found. It is likely looking for repodata/primary.sqlite.bz2 at the URL that you gave it/
Do you want me to post the log(s)? Unfortunately there is nothing in the error log that is with my webserver ,Tinyweb (http://www.ritlabs.com/tinyweb/) and Tinybox, GUI for Tinyweb.

It looks like your web server doesn't have access to the files as it is returning a 403 (Forbidden). Make sure that the user your web server is running as has access to the installation files.
