I spent several hours on trying to install VM on CentOS 6 and got no where. Thinking I screwed something up I went down to the ISP and wiped the machine clean and reinstalled everything again. There are no 3rd party anything installed on this system. I did a yum update to the latest and then tried to install and it failed. Please see the attached log. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
On another note, the welcome notice in the script does not yet say CentOS 6. It shows <=5.x etc.
Status:
Closed (fixed)

It looks like yum's attempt to install those packages is failing.
What we might need to do is manually run that yum command, and see what sort of error is generated.
The following huge command (which should all be on one line) is the yum command the installer was attempting to run -- could you try running this command as root, and let us know what output you see? Thanks!

By the way, I just did an install onto a fresh CentOS 6 VM earlier today, and it worked fine..
I'm almost wishing it was a VM so I could do a roll back because now the yum command works, but, the install script seems to fail still. Feel free to email me directly if you guys need ssh access to test. I'll attach a clean install log from this attempt.
Let me know if that didn't come through... I'll save it to a log file instead.
As requested, here is the result of the yum command. Its something with the httpd resolutions that it fails.
Looks like maybe something is broken in the httpd-manual package in our repos. I'll have to take a look at that in the morning. In the meantime, remove the one you have installed and try again.
rpm -e httpd-manual
I'm not sure this will work, but it'd be worth a shot.
This is on x86_64, which I haven't tested lately, so I may have broken the httpd packages during the run up to release. Regardless, it'll be fixed tomorrow.
Ok, all removed. Let me know what you'd like me to do next once you've had a chance to check it out. :~)

Now that you've removed the httpd-manual package, try re-running the install.sh script, and see if it's able to complete successfully.
I used yum rather than RPM to remove that file and then ran the script again. Yes, it finally completed.
Did you see what I meant about CentOS 6 missing from the script's welcome message?
The systems currently supported by install.sh are: CentOS 4 and 5 on i386 and x86_64 Debian 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 on i386 and amd64 Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and 10.04 LTS on i386 and amd64
Nothing major. Just cosmetic.
I'll finish checking out the install and make sure its all working. :~)

Yup! You're absolutely right, CentOS 6 and Scientific Linux 6 should both be added to that. And now that you mention it, FreeBSD 8.x should be added to the Pro version of the script.
Thanks for pointing that out!

I'll update the install script to mention CentOS 6 support.
