Issue when checking managed installs config and entering sudo command

[Amanda Vasquez]

When entering the following sudo command to check for updates and see if my configuration has worked. This happens..

sudo /usr/local/munki/managedsoftwareupdate -vv

Can someone please help and tell me why these two error are coming up:

When entering the following sudo command: sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/ManagedInstalls SoftwareRepoURL "http://IP ADDRESS/munki_repo"

Is that format correct for the software repo URL?

What happens if you try to curl that address?
curl http://<ip address>/munki_repo

Simpler question:

What happens if you copy and paste that URL into a browser?  

Does it work if you open it in Safari?

No, it would be the command Nick gave you:

curl http://<ip address>/munki_repo

except, instead of <ip address>, you'd substitute in your actual IP address. For example, if your IP address is 192.168.1.105, then the command you'd put in would be curl http://192.168.1.105/munki_repo

http://<ip address>/munki_repo/manifests/bootstrap

…would seem to be the URL for the intended manifest…

I get the following error:

Not Found

The requested URL /munki_repo was not found on this server.

---

Apache Server at IP ADDRESS Port 80

[Amanda Vasquez]

when i try to curl the ip address i get:

admin$ curl http://<ip address>/munki_repo

-bash: ip address: No such file or directory 

[Mr. Alan Siu]

I think that would indicate there's something wrong with your Apache server setup (i.e., the munki_repo folder is not where you think it is or the Apache service isn't actually running).

When I visit my repo page, I get this:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /munki_repo/ on this server.

[Mr. Alan Siu]

Are you substituting in your actual IP address for <ip address>?

<ip address> is only a placeholder. It's not exactly what you should type.

It's sort like saying "Write Dear so-and-so" where you put in the actual person's name ("Dear Chloe" or "Dear Jane").

In this case, you need to substitute in the actual IP address (series of four numbers, separated by periods). So if the IP address is 192.168.0.2 then you'd do curl http://192.168.0.2/munki_repo and not curl http://<ip address>/munki_repo

Does that make sense?

Yes that is what i did. I entered in the correct IP Address which was indicated in the network section of system preferences.

Even after enabling Apache 2  and typing in the url in a browser i am still receiving the same error :

Not Found

The requested URL /munki_repo was not found on this server.

---

Apache Server at IP ADDRESS Port 80

Also when trying to see if Apache 2 can read and traverse all of the munki repo directories the following error comes up 

nyc-yosemitemini:~ admin$ chmod -R a+rX munki_repo

chmod: munki_repo: No such file or directory

clearly i can see my munki _repo folder in my User/Shared/  folder

and file sharing is enabled in the server.app

[Mr. Alan Siu]

Okay. On the Munki server itself, can you do the following?

1. Start up Apache manually:

sudo apachectl start

2. Go to a web browser and go to http://localhost

See what error it gives you, if any.

3. Then go to http://localhost/munki_repo

See what error it gives you, if any.

The following happens:

1. Start up Apache manually:

sudo apachectl start

Everything good! 

2. Go to a web browser and go to http://localhost

The browser shows the webpage that says "Welcome to OSX Server" 

3. Then go to http://localhost/munki_repo

Not Found

The requested URL /munki_repo was not found on this server.

Apache Server at ip address Port 80 

[Amanda Vasquez]

when entering the curl command in terminal the following happens:

nyc-yosemitemini:~ admin$ curl http://IP ADDRESS/munki_repo

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

<html><head>

<title>404 Not Found</title>

</head><body>

<h1>Not Found</h1>

<p>The requested URL /munki_repo was not found on this server.</p>

<hr>

<address>Apache Server at IP ADDRESS Port 80</address>

</body></html>

How is it that when entering the url that folder cannot be found if it is there?

[Gregory Neagle]

Sounds like maybe you are following this: https://github.com/munki/munki/wiki/Demonstration-Setup

If so, you missed a step under https://github.com/munki/munki/wiki/Demonstration-Setup#building-a-server-repository: 

sudo ln -s /Users/Shared/munki_repo /Library/WebServer/Documents/

Without that, Apache won’t be serving up your Munki repo as a web directory.

After entering in the following command in terminal: sudo ln -s /Users/Shared/munki_repo /Library/WebServer/Documents/

 and creating a symlink inside of the /Library/Webserver/Documents/ that pointed to my munki_repo directory i was finally able to access my repository via the web.

Thank you everyone so very much for all of your help. I appreciate it!
