Hello all,

I'm sharing my implementation experience and my findings about Adobe Internal Update Server and also hoping someone would share or direct me on the right path...

Here's my environment info:

Server 10.7.4
On Server App, have Web service ON
On System Pref, Sharing, have Web Sharing ON

Using AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool2.0
In Terminal, was able to create the updates directory with the following:

cd /applications/AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool2.0.app/Contents/MacOS/
ls

sudo ./AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool2.0 --root=/Library/WebServer/Documents/serverroot/updates/Adobe

Also in Terminal:

cd /applications/AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool2.0.app/Contents/MacOS/
sudo ./AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool2.0 --genclientconf=/Library/WebServer/Documents/serverroot/config/AdobeUpdaterClient --root=/Library/WebServer/Documents/serverroot/updates/Adobe --url=http://ip adress:80/serverroot/updates/Adobe

was able to create the Override files for the clients to look and update through local Adobe update server.

The Problem:

When putting the override file in the client and going to Help, Updates, get a message "The Update Server is not responding... might be offline, Firewall, etc.

Also, on the server box when I browse to URL http://ip adress:80/serverroot/updates/Adobe, I get:

"Not Found
The requested URL /serverroot/updates/Adobe was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.21 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.21 OpenSSL/0.9.8r DAV/2 Server at 172.17.32.200 Port 80" message

Or when I go to the internal 127.0.0.1 address, I only get the "Welcome to Lion" page, but nothing show, no index I can browse indicating the Adobe Update Server structure.

What am I missing here?

Love the 10.6 Server in terms of Web Services - it was broader and you can actually see what was being configured and had more options - 10.7 is so limitted.

I want to make sure I have everything covered before I ask the network/security guys look into it. Anything you can help with or share would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

You will still need to publish that URL via the Web service on your server. It sounds like that hasn't been done.

On 10.7, use the Server.app. Add the path as an additional site. This may start you in the right direction.

Hello jafuller,

Thank you for your response.

I did - in the Web Service, I've used different variations adding different site entries using the server ip/followed by different paths - created 4 different one and still doesn't work.

Hi All
did anyone ever get a fix for this? all this RUM talk got me thirsty, so i setup an internal server.loopback gets me to directory. quick question, does it matter when the server is setup. the clients were all done in August using AAMEE 3. I chose the admin will update radio button. I had to edit the "AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat" file to get the apps to check for update; i now get the update server is not responding. the server might be offline temporarily......" anyone ever see this?. I can get to it via safari

TIA

@lsmc08:

Could part of the issue be that the default directory where web server files live on OS X Lion and Mountain Lion are no longer in /Library/WebServer/ ?

On my OS X Lion Server and Mountain Lion boxes, the default directory where web files are located is /Library/Server/Web/Data/SItes/Default. The old directory exists on Lion, but I'm not sure if it's used any longer.

I run the AUS on a Mac Mini Server running OS X 10.8.2, and decided to keep things simple and I just added an "aus" folder inside the "Default" folder, ran the command sudo ./AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool2.0 --root=/Library/Server/Web/Data/SItes/Default/aus

...and everything seems to work. My override file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<Overrides> <Application appID="webfeed"> <Domain>http://servername.salve.edu</Domain> <URL>/aus/webfeed/oobe/aam10/mac/</URL> <Port>80</Port> </Application> <Application appID="webfeed20"> <Domain>http://servername.salve.edu</Domain> <URL>/aus/webfeed/oobe/aam20/mac/</URL> <Port>80</Port> </Application> <Application appID="updates"> <Domain>http://servername.salve.edu</Domain> <URL>/aus/updates/oobe/aam10/mac/</URL> <Port>80</Port> </Application> <Application appID="updates20"> <Domain>http://servername.salve.edu</Domain> <URL>/aus/updates/oobe/aam20/mac/</URL> <Port>80</Port> </Application>
</Overrides>

So I'm just jumping into this. I'm trying to Setup AUSST 2.0 on a 10.8.2 Server.
I read the notes but would like a recap:
1. ./sudo ./AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool2.0 --root=/Library/Server/Web/Data/SItes/Default/aus/Adobe which will download about 31GB of data.

The generate the client conf file with this command: sudo ./AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool2.0 --genclientconf=/Library/Server/Web/Config/AdobeUpdaterClient --root=/Library/Server/Web/Data/SItes/Default/aus/Adobe --url=http://myhost:80/aus/Adobe
Do I need to modify or add anything under 10.8 Websites services?

I may be a little late to the game here, but I've been banging my head against the wall trying to get this to work with 10.8 server.

I've set up my server much the same way as @taugust04, except my path is http://cletestmac.local/AdobeUpdates/webfeed/oobe/aam20/mac/updaterfeed.xml

I keep getting below error message in Safari. The xml files contain what I'd consider valid data however. I've copy/pasted an excerpt of the updaterfeed.xml file.

Error message:
**This page contains the following errors:

error on line 1 at column 1: Document is empty
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.**

It looks like the path is incorrect. My full path is http://192.168.16.6:1234/Adobe/CS/webfeed/oobe/aam10/mac/updaterfeed.xml
Also, proxies are not supported, if you happen to using something like that.

Enable directory listing to get to the path easily : nano /etc/apache2/sites/0000_cletestmac.local_AdobeUpdate.local.conf and edit "-indexes" to "+indexes"

Closest problem related thread I've seen:

Can anyone assist me with setting up a Lion Server Web site piece needed to host AUSST? Can't seem to find steps to doing this anywhere. Here's what I've done:

- Successfully ran the AUSST Server Setup Tool (ver 2.0.0.14) by running:

/AUSST/AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool2.0.app/Contents/MacOS/AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool2.0 --root=/AUSST/Adobe

- Added a site called "ausst-server.local" on port 80 stored in "CustomSitesDefault" but choosing that site and pressing "View Server Web Site" takes me to the default web site (?)...

- Have not setup internal DNS to point "ausst-server.local" to the IP yet.

Any help appreciated - thanks...
