Hello,


I am quite new to coda and I tried to install a coda system on an AMD64 
using debian (testing) in my school building from sources.

I just a similar problem, as indicated in the archives I checked that 
there was no problems of loopback address, and I deactivated ipv6 just 
in case. I also checked my files in /vice/db but they seems ok (most of 
them are just empty anyway). I tried to run a different vice-setup but 
it doesn't change anything.

In fact the truth is I don't understand how my install could work : I 
don't have any rpc2portmap daemon listening or even installed.
(netstat seems to indicate that nothing is waiting for rpc calls).
but I don't understand where I missed the thing either, I checked my 
install of rpc2 and it should be quite fine.

my dump is quite the same instead that /vice/vol/BigVolumeList doesn't 
exist.

I followed this wiki for tips on my install : 
http://coda.wikidev.net/The_Coda_Administration_and_User_Manual
and this for the configuration : 
http://linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/4481/5/

It fails on :

+ echo 'Failed to dump the current VRDB into /vice/db/VRList.new'
Failed to dump the current VRDB into /vice/db/VRList.new
+ exit 1

I think that I missed something simple but I really don't get where, I 
installed twice the system without any success...

I hope someone can help.

Regards,

P.S. : Sorry for my english, I try to be understood
