[pca] Question on setting up local caching proxy for pca

[Jonathan L Whitehouse]

Generator Microsoft Word 11 (filtered medium) Can amaeng3.acml.com talk to the net? In essence amaeng3 is acting as a proxy. 

Can you run just pca on amaeng3 and have it go to sunsolve?

On amaeng3 make sure your /etc/pca.conf is setup as normal.

From: pca-bounces at lists.univie.ac.at [mailto:pca-bounces at lists.univie.ac.at] On Behalf Of Gurugunti, Mahesh Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2008 9:44 AM To: pca at lists.univie.ac.at Subject: [pca] Question on setting up local caching proxy for pca

I have setup a server that contacts sun and using my SOA account downloads and installs patches. This works fine.

I am in the process of setting up local PCA server , I followed all the instruction on this page

http://www.par.univie.ac.at/solaris/pca/usage.html

of copying pca as pca-proxy.cgi
settting /etc/pca-proxy.conf
restarted httpd (amaeng3 is the planned local PCA server)
etc....

On the client I issued

pca -X . --xrefurl=http://amaeng3.acml.com/cgi-bin/pca-proxy.cgi --patchurl=http://amaeng3.acml.com/cgi-bin/pca-proxy.cgi -d 137048-01

it comes back as


Downloading xref file to /root/./patchdiag.xref Trying http://amaeng3.acml.com/cgi-bin/pca-proxy.cgi? Failed

Any ideas? Also, I need to know if there is any config involved on client side.

Thanks in advance.
Mahesh
