I Setup munkiserver folling the apache passenger instructions for linux (ubuntu 12.0.4)

The server is up and running I have setup a couple packages on a client and uploaded them.
I cannot get a client to connect and have been reading forums for days trying to find an answer.

I downloaded the client info from ARD and uploaded it to munkiserver to create the client I then using terminal copy and pasted the client prefs into a .plist

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>ClientIdentifier</key>
	<string>10:dd:b1:ea:e0:d4.plist</string>
	<key>DaysBetweenNotifications</key>
	<integer>1</integer>
	<key>InstallAppleSoftwareUpdates</key>
	<true/>
	<key>LogFile</key>
	<string>/Library/Managed Installs/Logs/ManagedSoftwareUpdate.log</string>
	<key>LoggingLevel</key>
	<integer>1</integer>
	<key>ManagedInstallsDir</key>
	<string>/Library/Managed Installs</string>
	<key>ManifestURL</key>
	<string>172.22.4.5</string>
	<key>SoftwareRepoURL</key>
	<string>172.22.4.5</string>
	<key>UseClientCertificate</key>
	<false/>
</dict>
</plist>


Then when I run sudo /usr/local/munki/managedsoftwareupdate
I get

Starting...

ERROR: managedsoftwareupdate: server check for 172.22.4.5 failed: (-1, 'Unsupported URL scheme')

This is a fresh OS X install.

Hi Mike,

It looks like you're missing either http:// or https:// at the beginning of your values for ManifestURL and SoftwareRepoURL.

Thanks

I have been fighting this for a while, it had more to do with plists not getting entered properly.  You comment got me to go back through and add the http.  My first client is starting to do its thing.  Now I can start really using the server.
