I'm attempting to install CentOS Xen DomU using virt-install after setting up a local NFS mount like this: mount -ro loop CentOS-5.0-i386-bin-DVD.iso /mnt/mount cp -ar /mnt/mount/. /var/www/html/mount vi /etc/exports /var/www/html/mount *(ro,sync) exportfs -a service nfs restart showmount -e /var/www/html/mount * and also pointing http://localhost/ to /var/www/html/mount/ where http://localhost/EULA shows the EULA from the CentOS .iso and the file structure looks intact. But when I run the virt-install I get invalid install location whether I specify: http://localhost/ http://10.1.10.43/ nfs://10.1.10.43:/ but if I specify http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/centos/5/os/i386/ it works. Why don't my local mounts work? I can see both the http and nfs structure from other clients on the network.
Can you access the files from a web browser ? If you cannot i suspect selinux is blocking access. If you can then take a look at the access logs of apache to see what files the installer is requesting for.
Take a look at the logs and see what files the installer is looking for it will help you figure out what the path it is expecting.
Indexing wasn't allowed in http.conf, which caused the install to fail...really stupid. I also found out if you specify the install source location of http://localhost/ it will fail to find the stage2.img, you have to leave off the trailing slash, otherwise it will fail later during the install
