Our previous upload wasn’t working; thanks to the help of Rob Nester, we’ve got an updated and working VM image up for use. It’s MusicBrainz NGS 2012-11-15.
Sorry for any inconvenience. The Server Setup page on the wiki has also been updated accordingly.

Just downloaded and installed and received an error when attempting to run replication:
musicbrainz@musicbrainzvm:~$ ./run_replication.sh
open >/tmp.mb-LoadReplicationChanges: Permission denied at ./LoadReplicationChanges line 88.
Running with sudo produces a different error:
DBI connect(‘dbname=musicbrainz_db’,’musicbrainz’,…) failed: could not connec to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket “/var/run/posgresqp//s/PGSQL.5432”? at /home/musicbrainz/musicbrainz-server/local/lib/perl5/DBIx/Connecor.pm line 32.
I did run run_server.sh in a different window before trying the second command.

I’m getting the same result as Dave…
Tried it on Mac and Windows, VirtualBox and VMWare Player

We found some additional problems 😦 we’re currently testing a newly-fixed version. Apparently this VM is proving problematic! 🙂
Same issue – any ETA on a release for the new VM build?
I pulled the latest VM and the permission issue is still there, looks like they just mucked up the /tmp dir permissions, just need to set 777 and +t.
