  We find new Melvin-like solutions in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton gravity with a
Liouville-type dilaton potential. The properties of the corresponding solution
in Freedman-Schwarz gauged supergravity model are extensively studied. We show
that this configuration is regular and geodesically complete but do not
preserve any supersymmetry. An exact solution describing travelling waves in
this Melvin-type background is also presented.
