You can't use a "None" connection for localhost as (currently) it will look for the socket file in /var/www/.libvirt/libvirt-sock So until this is resolved, you can connect to localhost (read-only) with this configuration: qemu+unix:///system?socket=/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro In the ADMIN creation of Node: Connection driver: qemu Connection transport: unix Path: system Extra parameters: Keep in mind, this requires selinux to be disabled or someone will need to make a rule for this. - Schenck On Fri, Mar 6, 2009 at 10:31 AM, Michael Schenck <mschenck(a)limewire.com&gt;wrote: -- Michael Schenck - www.tek-ops.com WebVirt (http://fedorahosted.org/webvirt/) - a very light-weight webapp front-end to libvirt.
