How to install VCDT 2.X?
CDTower 2.X is delivered to you as a .tar file. Please extract it first in Linux. (Note: this file cannot be extracted in Windows) A directory called "vcdtower-2.x.x" will be created after the extraction is finished. Enter the desired directory and continue with the installation.
For example: If the file name for VCDT 2.0 is vcdtower-2.0.0-2004103013.tar.gz, then you can install with the following steps:
# tar -zxvf vcdtower-2.0.0-2004103013.tar.gz
# cd vcdtower-2.0.0
# ./install
Which ports are been used by VCDT 2.x?
Apache port: by default, port 80 is used. If 80 is already in used, the user will have to dedicate an unused port ID number between 3333 to 65535 for Apache to use;
MySQL port: by default the port can be any port ID number between 3308 to 65535.

Why can’t I access VCDT 2.x after installation.
- The ports used by VCDT 2.x are blocked by firewall. Please allow connections on those ports
- If the Apache port is not being set to 80, then you will be required to enter the port in the Browser. For example, port 3333 is being used for Apache: http://192.168.0.188:3333
- The ports used by VCDT 2.x conflict with other system services. Please run /usr/local/cdserver/bin/vcdtconf to fix the conflict.
Why VCDT 2.x cannot support the user's customized Kernel?
The VCDT 2.x drivers are produced for the pre-complied kernel in a release version. A customized kernel may have not a corresponding driver module, or may cause some drives to be unusable.
Why can’t I create an image sometimes?
This problem might be caused due to improper network connection settings. VCDT 2.x creates an image by file://address. You will have to ensure that the port used by VCDT 2.x is opened.
- If you are a LAN client:
Please verify whether you can visit VirtualTower from the Windows via NetBios. If you cannot, please ask your network administrator to open the NetBIOS(Samba) port (137, 138, 139).
- If you are a WAN user:
Please verify whether you can visit VirtualTower from the Windows via NetBios. If you cannot visit the VirtualTower, then the problem might be on the Internet Router.
