[pca] PCA Proxy Troubles

[Gerard McFadden]

Hi,

We have a problem with our pca patch proxy. I noticed it had stopped working after our last round of patching (this may be unrelated)

I get the following errors when attempting to download new patches (on the proxy host, downloading its own patches):

# ./pca -d missing
Using /var/tmp/patchdiag.xref from Jan/23/09
Host: myhost(SunOS 5.10/Generic_137111-08/sparc/sun4u)

and so on.

(I had downloaded the patchdiag.conf using wget so there's no problem with accessing the )

To me it looks like a permissions problem but for the life of me I can't figure out where. 

The cgi-file is owned by our apache user, our pca download directory is owned by the apache user, /etc/pca.conf is owned by our apache user. 

Can anyone help shed any light on this please? 


I'm not subscribed so could you please Cc me on any replies.

Cheers,
Gerry
