See the similiar issues were raised and fixed before. It now resurfaces because of new release, 14.04.05?

Read through "Pull request" and saw that the version and checksum were updated to 14.04.5. I just forked the code today and it is still 14.04.4. Where I can download the latest and greatest, or the fixes have not been committed?

Just for the record:
Change the application-server.json file so in "PACKER_BOX_NAME" reads "ubuntu-14.04.5-server-amd64" and set the new checksum (dde07d37647a1d2d9247e33f14e91acb10445a97578384896b4e1d985f754cc1) at the "iso_checksum" property.

Can I modify my local application-server.json file to reflect the 17.10 (artful) version? I guess I need to then change iso_url, packer_box_name and checksum

[oquirozm]

@ndsubhash probably, though, some setting or package in the box could get you an error for moving from 14.x to 17.x. Usually, major version change mean backward compatibility issues.

I am getting the same error. I forked the code today only. I am totally new to Git and also installed the same today only and stuck with this issue. Please advise how this was resolved.

[oquirozm]

@ashish049 so look for the application-server.json file. In that file, look for the line that has the PACKER_BOX_NAME property. After the colon next to it, change the name of the packer box being used (add the version I wrote in my previous comment above). Update the iso_checksum property too. Got it?

[ashish049]

@oquirozm Thanks. That resolved the issue.

[oquirozm]

@ashish049 awesome, glad to have been of help!
