I tried setting up a reverse proxy setup on my local box and I was checking if I was able to start a depot server with proxy-base. However, even after starting it with shifted base, pkg refresh/pkg send would fail. Request your help in troubleshooting this. I followed the below shown steps:
1) I edited the config file of apache2.2 to allow the reverse proxy. (It is originally referenced as "http://opensolaris2.chn99.sun.com";). bash-3.2# cat /etc/apache2/2.2/httpd.conf | grep Proxy ProxyPass /release http://opensolaris2.chn99.sun.com:10000/ I believe with this entry, I can access, the depot server as: http://opensolaris2.chn99.sun.com/release 2) I tried accessing "http://opensolaris2.chn99.sun.com/release"; via browser and it was successful 3) Then I started the depot server with --proxy-base option bash-3.2# /usr/bin/python2.4 /usr/lib/pkg.depotd --proxy-base=http://opensolaris2.chn99.sun.com/release 4) I set the authority to this URL and I tried doing a pkg refresh, but it fails with 504 error: bash-3.2# pkg authority AUTHORITY URL opensolaris.org (preferred) http://pkg.opensolaris.org/ localstbrepo http://opensolaris2.chn99/release/ bash-3.2# pkg refresh pkg: 1/2 catalogs successfully updated: Transfer from 'localstbrepo' timed out: 504 - Gateway Timeout. (happened 4 times) I think the config setup by me is incorrect somwhere, but couldn't identify. Can you kindly help me here.. regards, Ram On 1/6/09, Shawn Walker <[email protected]> wrote: > ramanujan oops wrote: >> Hi, >> >> From the mail thread >> (http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/pkg-discuss/2008-December/009096.html) >> >> I understand that from release 2008.11, the new authority will be >> referred to as: http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release >> for stable revisions and "/dev" for development revisions. >> >> Are these branch paths in the URL actually folders on the host acting as >> depot server (Similar to the /var/apache/htdocs)? > > No. They are different depot servers reverse-proxied through Apache via > URL using the --proxy-base parameter to the depot server. > >> Can we have our own branch similar to /release or /dev in the depot >> service started by us? > > The depot server doesn't support this directly; you would need to > reverse proxy the depot server through a webserver such as Apache and > use the --proxy-base parameter [1] > > -- > Shawn Walker > > [1] http://blogs.sun.com/sch/date/20080221 > _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
