Yes this should basically work. But you need to assure that all files needed for installation/upgrade/downgrade are listed in download nodes so WPKG can download them. Also this feature is not very widely used and you might encounter some issues. >> Unfortunately, wpkg seems to expect a wpkg_web installation under this >> path (because it appends profiles_xml_out.php to the URL): Yes it does. This feature to fetch the XML databases via HTTP has been added for web-based management tools like wpkg_web. However you do not necessarily need to run wpkg_web. Any HTTP server serving packages_xml_out.php, profiles_xml_out.php and hosts_xml_out.php should do it. The names are configurable in config.xml. You might want to try setting them as follows: <param name='web_packages_file_name' value='packages.xml' /> <param name='web_profiles_file_name' value='profiles.xml' /> <param name='web_hosts_file_name' value='hosts.xml' /> So it will fetch these three files instead from the URL configured in wpkg_base. Any Apache server should do the job then. >> Do I have to install wpkg_web or does this solution work without it? If >> yes, where is my mistake? See above. It should work with a simple HTTP server too. br, Rainer ------------------------------------------------------------------------- wpkg-users mailing list archives >> http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/wpkg-users/ _______________________________________________ wpkg-users mailing list wpkg-users@lists.wpkg.org http://lists.wpkg.org/mailman/listinfo/wpkg-users
