okay, so I got NetSUS installed on a fresh install of Ubuntu.

However when following the instructions to go to: https://myhostname.local/webadmin to access the NetBoot/SUS server web application, all any browser gives me is a combination of the following:

-Unable to connect
-can't establish a connection
-webpage not available
-connection refused

I've tried connecting via IP addresss, hostname.local, localhost, 127.0.0.1...and I get nothing.

What else do I need to do? Do I have to start the webserver on the machine?

This is my first dive into Linux, so yes..I'm a bit clueless.

Thanks fellas...

    Hmm perhaps if your not too familiar with Linux then using the premade applicance template might be the better way to go?

    http://jamfsoftware-content.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads/NetSUS3.0.ova

    you can import this into vsphere or similar and you should be good to go after entering in all the info at boot time

    also i wouldnt use .local as the hostname if possible. i'd make sure it had a FQDN with forward and reverse records

    I installed the NetSUS on a Red Hat server recently, with zero previous Linux experience- so I know where your coming from.

    I had the same problem, see this thread: https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=10420

    Have a go at downloading the source and compiling a new installer and running that right on top of the existing install. That process was easier than it sounds if you've never done it.

    Download ZIP from:
    https://github.com/jamf/NetSUS

    CD into the (NetSUS-master) directory and run CreateNetSUSInstaller (e.g. "./CreateNetSUSInstaller.sh"). You should end up with a NetSUSInstaller.run file.

    Thanks again fellas...
    I got it up and running. Only problem now is that whenever I check for updates using CLI on a client, it says:

    lab-testmac3:~ root# softwareupdate -l
Software Update Tool
Copyright 2002-2012 Apple Inc.

Finding available software
Can't load data from the Software Update server (10.30.2.224)

    Maybe I've got the wrong catalog entered???
    It's currently setup as:

    Name:  http://10.30.2.224/content/catalogs/index_sucatalog  
URL:  http://10.30.2.224/content/catalogs/index_http://10.30.2.224/content/catalogs/index_sucatalog.sucatalog
