Description of Problem: When doing HTTP TUI install of Fairfax beta1, got an error retrieving stage1 because the HTTP request didn't have a leading / on the URI. Adding "/" to the front of the TUI field fixes it. There is also a typo on one of the HTTP TUI dialogs. How Reproducible: Consistently. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Answer questions about language and keyboard type. 2. For [Installation Method] dialog, choose HTTP. 3. For [Configure TCP/IP] dialog, choose: [ ] Use dynamic... IP address: 172.18.34.16 Netmask: 255.255.192.0 Default gateway (IP): 172.18.1.15 Primary nameserver: 172.18.14.1 4. For [HTTP Setup] dialog, choose: Web site name: 172.18.1.28 Red Hat directory: fairfax/beta1/i386 Actual Results: Received dialog [Error] with text: Failed to retrieve fairfax/beta1/i386/RedHat/base/netstg1.img: Bad FTP server response. (a) Note the error says "FTP", should be "HTTP". (b) Inspecting the Apache access_log finds: Invalid URI in request GET fairfax/beta1/i386/RedHat/base/netstg1.img HTTP/1.1 (note no leading slash on the path) Expected Results: can be had by changing "Red Hat directory" to "/fairfax/beta1/i386" but many people will probably trip over this.
should be fixed in CVS, needs testing. 47039
