Blue Quartz Server Installation

[fileserverdirect]

I think I have dug a hole too deep to get out of...

O.K. Here's the run down:

1. Bought Server
2. Gave it to myself for Christmas
3. Downloaded this to a disk: http://www.nuonce.net/bq-cd.php
4. Put in in the server.
5. Did ALL the iP stuff\ config.
6. The website just says to "Open the GUI interface" all I am getting is a shell command thingie (I am not a command line person )
7. Re-installed again, same problem...
8. HELP!

What I am trying to say is that there is any command line I can do to get to this GUI??

The website won't load. I suggest just installing Fedora or something. As for the GUI, most servers don't run GUIs in order to avoid the extra overhead, which isn't really necessary on a server.

IDK, It loads on my end, And Blue Quartz is a GUI, thats why I installed it, Im just stuck at a MS-DOS-like screen where the last line is:
[root@localhost] ~]# _ And I'm stuck from there. I don't know all these commands. Have you ever installed Red Hat Linux? That's what it's based on. I am completely lost. completly. completly.

It doesn't look like BlueQuartz is very well supported, and there's not much documentation. Perhaps it has a web or VNC interface.

I think you can install centOS and follow the instructions to install Webmin.

Not shure what you mean.

But, I looked online about installing it... After you install it on your computer, you need to "Access your server via a web browser to complete the insallation..."
One Problem, the server is technally not online, when the installation wizard asked "IP Address: _", I gave it a local network address because it's not ready to go online. I did not buy another IP yet, would it be possable to assign it the one that my other computers are using... woudn't that be unsafe? I still have to default username and password, how do I change it?

Where's the problem? Access it by that address.

I tryed entering in the address in Internet Explorer:

HTTP 404: Page cannot be found

It was not a server message, it was an IE message.
I am using a cable from another computer untill I get things stragitend out, so, just a guess, I typed in the local address of the computer I was stealling a cable, monitor, and mouse from(I had an extra keyboard) , no luck...
Anyways, I have a router that it is hooked up to, To you have to "Add" another computer, or assaign the server a local ip address?

[Twey]

Does your router have DHCP server support?

[fileserverdirect]

One second, gotta find that router box....

Yes, this is what's on the box:

Routing protocalls:
Static & Dynamic Routing with TCP/IP VPN pass-though(IPSec), L2TP,NAT,PPPoE,DHCP (client & server)

etc...
