My client machine is amadv889 and local server is amaeng3, I did not
quite understand
"write to patch download directory /export/opt/jumpstart/www/cgi-bin/" ,
which user is trying to write, is it the webuser trying to write
something onto cgi-bin directory on the server amaeng3??

Mahesh,
This is odd. Please add debug=1 on the client side too and run pca -d
119254 and see what error messages you get and where it is pointing to.

Server side /etc/pca.conf, just added "debug=1" at the end of

I don't see anything downloaded in /var/pca with that patch
number. However what is confusing is its able to put patcdiag.xref file
when I delete it from /var/pca directory on the client side. I am sure
its fetching it from local server(amaeng3).

Mahesh,
1. Please paste your Server Side /etc/pca.conf
2. If you have debug=1 in your /etc/pca.conf, then on the Server
(PCA Proxy) side there will be a file /tmp/pca-proxy-debug.txt If you
can paste the relevant text of this transaction here, it would help to
know why it is not communicating.
Usually, when I get that error, it usually means that my PCA
Proxy /etc/pca.conf is not correct.

Addendum: On the Client, you should be able to do:
pca -d 137048-01
NO need of using the other parameters.

Here is how I have mine setup:
Server: /etc/pca.conf
user=userid
passwd=password
patchdir=/pca/Patches/
xrefdir=/pca/Patches/
wgetproxy=http://proxy.home.com:80
syslog=user
dltries=5
threads=5
debug=1
Client: /etc/pca.conf
patchdir=/var/pca
xrefdir=/var/pca
patchurl=http://pcaproxy.home.com/Patches/pca-proxy.cgi?
xrefurl=http://pcaproxy.home.com/Patches/pca-proxy.cgi?
1. Make sure that you DO NOT have any http_proxy
settings on the Client server for ROOT or Other IDs which use pca.
2. Make sure you have CGI Enabled on the HTTPD
Server. Create test.cgi with the following contents and make sure it is
executable. This will be a good test if your HTTPD support cgi execution
#!/bin/sh
# disable filename globbing
set -f
echo Content-type: text/plain
echo
echo CGI/1.0 test script report:
echo
echo argc is $#. argv is "$*".
echo
echo SERVER_SOFTWARE = $SERVER_SOFTWARE
echo SERVER_NAME = $SERVER_NAME
echo GATEWAY_INTERFACE = $GATEWAY_INTERFACE
echo SERVER_PROTOCOL = $SERVER_PROTOCOL
echo SERVER_PORT = $SERVER_PORT
echo REQUEST_METHOD = $REQUEST_METHOD
echo HTTP_ACCEPT = "$HTTP_ACCEPT"
echo PATH_INFO = "$PATH_INFO"
echo PATH_TRANSLATED = "$PATH_TRANSLATED"
echo SCRIPT_NAME = "$SCRIPT_NAME"
echo QUERY_STRING = "$QUERY_STRING"
echo REMOTE_HOST = $REMOTE_HOST
echo REMOTE_ADDR = $REMOTE_ADDR
echo REMOTE_USER = $REMOTE_USER
echo AUTH_TYPE = $AUTH_TYPE
echo CONTENT_TYPE = $CONTENT_TYPE
echo CONTENT_LENGTH = $CONTENT_LENGTH
Let us know once you have done this and still
have issues.

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.

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
<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.
