Why httpd needs restart for sync_client update download

[Vaishali Dhakate]

Dear Openxt Team,

I have redhat Synchronizer and openxt setup. I am able to download update.tar.

But there is a doubt. I am able to download the update.tar when

1) I restart the openxt device

2) and also when I restart httpd service then fire 'xec-vm -n syncvm reboot'.

But sometimes even on openxt reboot the update.tar wont download.

VM syncvm (14): sync-client: downloading and it just keeps downloading without downloading it. It times out. Now this is on single pc and server directly connected to the router. should i try increasing timeout from 3600 to more! I think 3600 should be good enough.

This is a common issue.

And also I am not able to download without restarting the httpd server. ie I have to run 'service httpd restart' and then immediately 'xec-vm -n syncvm reboot' . But without this I am not able to download by just firing 'xec-vm -n syncvm reboot' on openxt. That wont download. I have to restart httpd and then syncvm for it to download.

Please give me some understanding about why this is happening and how this can be solved if you know.

Once again grateful for all the help.

Regards

Vaishali.

I had an issue with Redhat. After 'yum install httpd'  and rebooting redhat it wont boot up. And then after  debugging through the boot process. Figure out that httpd service running at different runlevels on boot stops redhat from booting up. So had to

chkconfig httpd off

chkconfig httpd --del

This fixed the issue. But I think this could be the reason why I have to restart httpd to get the download. otherwise if I reboot the openxt device it downloads without a httpd restart. So any hints/ideas are really appreciated.
