Dear CentOS community, I have install centos via CD, DVD and Directly off the net via http and FTP. Now I want to do a NFS install from a local server and a client. Both, client and server are in the same vlan 10.14.10.0/255.255.255.0. The server has a static 10.14.10.15 address and the client gets its own address via DHCP. I download the DVD image from one of the mirrors and placed it under /centos-media/centosdvd32/DVD/CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-DVD.iso which is a dedicated partition on the server to hold all images. After that I exported the usual entries under /etc/exports and reloaded NFS using /sbin/service nfs reload. This is what my exports file looks like: [root at zeus DVD]# cat /etc/exports /centos-media/centosdvd64 10.14.10.0/255.255.255.0(ro,sync,all_squash) /centos-media/centosdvd32/DVD 10.14.10.0/255.255.255.0(ro,sync,all_squash) After doing so, I also modified the entries under IPtables to allow traffic in 111 and 2049 at the UDP/TCP level and restarted the service as shown bellow. [root at zeus DVD]# cat /etc/sysconfig/iptables # Firewall configuration written by system-config-securitylevel # Manual customization of this file is not recommended. *filter :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :RH-Firewall-1-INPUT - [0:0] -A INPUT -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -A FORWARD -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type any -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p 50 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p 51 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp --dport 5353 -d 224.0.0.251 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 631 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 631 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -s 10.14.10.0/24 -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -s 10.14.10.0/24 -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 111 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -s 10.14.10.0/24 -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -s 10.14.10.0/24 -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 111 -j ACCEPT COMMIT [root at zeus DVD]# /sbin/service iptables restart When I try loading the net-install disc from the client i get to the area where I specify the Ip of the server and the NFS path in the server, hitting enter returns "That directory does not seem to contain CentOS installation tree", I triple check the ISO and I know its there with all appropriate permissions. Can someone tell me what am I missing? I have spend all day trying to get NFS working in the local vlan, i know that all ports are open within the vlan at the routers level. Any clues? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/attachments/20110104/2e584e4a/attachment-0004.html>
