I’m trying to instantiate a virtual machine from the OpenNebula sunstone. The frontend is a CentOS machine with the sandbox installed. The two hosts are ubuntu 12.04 32 bits machines, and they can all connect each other with SSH without any password being asked.
I first downloaded the ubuntu 12.04 server image (i386), then I added an image from the sunstone. Then I create a VM template using the previously loaded image, and finally I created a VM, but I got “status: error”.
Here you can see the details about the template and the image, and the log file: [https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=768CF89E7CF13325!4429&authkey=!APi2Q9p-3i96l4U&ithint=folder%2C](https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=768CF89E7CF13325!4429&authkey=!APi2Q9p-3i96l4U&ithint=folder%2c)
I’ll also paste the contents of the log file here:

You are probably using a proxy so the secheduler cannot access the oned
URL. Unset the proxy variable before starting the scheduler. Also, if you
are not using a proxy, check that oned is accessible from the machine
running the scheduler (with oneadmin credentials)

I have a problem, as described above, too. I have not set variables, but… problems with xml-rpc…
Even if it says that the HTTP POST method is empty (because I have no idea of what parameters I should pass), from the response message I get that the HTTP server is reachable.
I tried to connect to [http://localhost:2633/RPC2](http://localhost:2633/RPC2) via terminal:
```
curl --data "" http://localhost:2633/RPC2
Error 400Error 400
According to your content-length HTTP header, your request is empty (zero length)
ABYSS Web Server for XML-RPC For C/C++ version 1.40.0
```
I enabled logging rpc messages in oned.conf
We see in /var/log/one/one\_xmlrpc.log:
