Apple Update Server

Abz,

AFAIK the .apple catalogs are there as like a default. But are not the one's clients use.

What if you look @ where the catalog files exist, are the correct one's there?

I think lion server does not publish the catalogs until the 1st sync is complete, so maybe Monday?

Hi Ben

I've looked where the catalogs exists and they are not the correct ones I have *.apple and *.composite

Sorry Abz, that doesn't sound right.. But I'll not be near a mac this weekend so can't check for sure.

Anything in the logs? Has the sever finished its initial sync?

nothing specific in the logs, it looks like it is actually downloading updates although for some reason over 300 have been enabled of which only one has been copied

I've also tried deleting the entire html/ folder and re-sync again but still the same thing

very weird
Will have a look again on Monday, have a nice a weekend

shhh.. snuck on my home server..

ls /private/var/db/swupd/html catalogs.sucatalog catalogs.sucatalog.alternate catalogs.sucatalog.apple catalogs.sucatalog.apple.previous content index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog index-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog

& then

ls /private/var/db/swupd/html/content/catalogs/others 
index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.productscache
index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog
index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog.apple
index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog.apple.previous
index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog.composite
index-leopard.merged-1.productscache
index-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
index-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog.apple
index-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog.apple.previous
index-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog.composite
index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.productscache
index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog.apple
index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog.apple.previous
index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog.composite

I guess you should see the same.

LOL

This is what I see

var/db/swupd/html
catalogs.sucatalog
catalogs.sucatalog.alternate
catalogs.sucatalog.apple
catalogs.sucatalog.apple.previous
content
index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog
index-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog

& then

ls /private/var/db/swupd/html/content/catalogs/others index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.productscache
index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog.apple
index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog.apple.previous
index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog.composite
index-leopard.merged-1.productscache
index-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog.apple

I'm working on two Lion Servers and both have exactly the same issue

I've trashed the swupd.conf and swupd.plist files but still get the same issue - I'm at my wits end!

Proxy server?

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3923

hmm one server is going through an authenticated proxy which could explain things, but the other is not, it has direct Internet access

hopefully its all working on Monday as if by magic!

Ben you was right, it just needed some time to sync

Thanks for all your help
