Talk:Debian Appliance Builder

If we choose to generate a random password for mysql at deployment time, how do we refer to it in the script for making the template?

The following dab.conf parameter is missing in the wiki

ManageUrl: http://__IPADDRESS__/

A list of usable variables like the __IPADDRESS__ must be included in the page.

A means to place additional Infopage URLs in the dab.conf could be useful.

In the example applications download, the joomla appliance joomla.conf file in

dab-pve-appliances_2009-01-19/debian-5.0-joomla 

needs to replace it's first line:-

ServerAdmin webmaster@loalhost

with

ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

~# apt-get install dab
