Thank you everyone! I have browse 102 on my XO and it automagically logs
into the schoolserver.

Now I am ready to actually make things work.

That's Daniel's release. Look for a release issued by Simon Schampijer.

Weird. But the numbers are misleading (one of the serious drawbacks in
the linear numbering scheme we have :-/  )

I think it depends on the release you want to run it on. For the SoaS
series, grab at least 104 I think. For XOs running 8.2, grab 101.

Is there a certain release or URL for the browse-101 that I should be using

I get the impression that you're experimenting with a custom setup --
Maybe it's a good idea to get a conventional XS + XO setup in
parallel, so you can see how it works when it works, and then you can
compare it with your setup.

Either way -- enable debug on that config file, restart apache and the
apache logs will tell us what's happening.

I looked but I don't see anything that responds to
http://schoolserver/backup/1 
is there some other magic I am missing?

Upon further research, i added a print e.code into ds-backup.py I see I am
getting a 403 unauthorized response from the schoolserver. This is on a
registered client that can get into moodle using the browse.xo magic cookie.
I am not clear on how authentication is supposed to work with the ds-backup
code.

Check the web server error log on the XS, it might have more diagnostic
info.

 Hi,

 I have updated my XS to the lastest code and I have the ds-backup server
 code on there.
 I have ds-backup-client on my client (slightly modified SoaS).

 Now I am investigating how this works and I am reviewing ds-backup.py to
 see why my backups are not working.

 I am looking around line 114 and I see this

backup_url = 'http://schoolserver/backup/1'

 I see that the serial number from the client is appended to this.

 I don't see anything on the XS that responds on this URL. Should this
 respond or do I have the wrong version of this script or I am confused?
 If something should respond on this URL, is it part of Moodle, ds-backup
 server or something else?

 Thanks!

I put print e.code in the HTTPError handler in check_server_availble and the
error code is "403" for Unauthorized. I can connect to Moodle with the magic
cookie in Browse so I am not sure what is expected for authentication for
the backup.

Hi, yes i can connect to the XS at http://schoolserver, ping schoolserver
etc. It does look like its configured correctly. The SoaS is getting a DHCP
address from the XS.

Re: [Server-devel] ds-backup.py backup_url server check

[Carol Farlow Lerche]

When the client references "schoolserver", it depends on client
configuration where and if it finds it.  Places that can affect this lookup
process are the configuration designating what is your DNS server, the
configuration of your resolver (e.g. does it supply a default domain if the
requested name is not fully qualified.  So if your local domain is
configured to be "mydom.com", schoolserver.mydom.com might be the actual
name that is looked up.  Finally if you have an /etc/hosts file you can
supply a local name for an arbitrary IP address, so you could have a line
there that gave "192.0.2.1 schoolserver"

If your "schoolserver" is not named schoolserver in your same domain, just
add an /etc/host entry.
