Hello everyone,

As I'm brand new to Wapt (which I'm currently testing), I have a typical newbie question... how strange!
The server is installed on Windows and seems to be working fine, although I couldn't deploy the client via GPO using the suggested method (webdeploy + checksum). I had to deploy it to the test machines using a script that apparently uses the old method:
`start \\(myserverad)\(myshare)\waptagent.exe /VERYSILENT /MERGETASKS="useWaptServer,register,autorunTray"`.
The deployment is now working correctly. The question concerns the packages in the private repository: how are they updating?

The specific problem is Flash Player, which was version 23.0.0.205-1 when I downloaded the package, but it should currently be 23.0.0.207-1. I naively thought that packages from the private repository updated automatically, but apparently not.
When I try to manually get the latest version via "Import from Internet," I get an error message like "Download canceled: " is an invalid integer."

So, in summary, the questions are:
1. Should packages from the private repository update automatically?
2. Why do I get this error message when I try "Import from Internet"?

Thanks in advance! Cheers!
Edit

: Actually, the error message appears every time I try to import any package from the Internet...

Sorry, I can't reproduce the error on my end.

Can you tell me more?

I also encountered this error for the invalid integer the first time; updating Windows and manually installing Python 2.7, then reinstalling the server, fixed the problem on my end.

Hello and thank you for these answers,

@sfonteneau. Like many, I'm on a network with a proxy, configured in the console and apparently managed by the WAPT server since it correctly shows me the list of packages available from the internet. But I realize that before learning more about WAPT's options, I had only tested the "import from a file" function. I'm not sure what additional information could help you besides what's in my first message.
Regarding the update method for private packages, do we have to manually manage the versions we want to install by importing the packages one by one from the internet (or via file), or does it handle the version updates automatically?

@mika08500 I admit I was a little hesitant to reinstall, considering the potential consequences for clients (or not), admittedly only 15 for testing, but I don't have much time to dedicate to it...

I'm not giving up because WAPT interests me, so thank you for your help. :-)

Hello everyone,

Attached is a screenshot of the problem I'm experiencing.
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit is up to date, as is Python (even though it wasn't strictly necessary).
Should I (and can I) reinstall the server?
I'm sorry to feel a bit alone with this wapt issue...
Cheers

Hello everyone...
and goodbye!
Too many unanswered questions, no real documentation, numerous bugs—in short, not the experience I had in mind.
Good luck.

Hello,

I'm really struggling to reproduce the problem.
I'm using Windows 7 x64 with local administrator privileges.

The problems I'm aware of are:

- Problem if the private key doesn't exist or isn't entered in the console.
key public isn't present in c:\waptssl
. - If there's an accented character in your username.
- For duplication: You might need to configure a proxy to access the internet.
- Cache issue? You can clear your cache in the console under Tools --> Clear Local Cache.

More complete documentation is currently being developed.

In the meantime, you can find additional help here: https://wiki.lesfourmisduweb.org/index.php/Serveur_WAPT

Or, you could request WAPT training...

The "invalid integer" error during download to the console is sometimes related to an incorrectly entered proxy URL.
We should add a validation of the URL format and return a more explicit message...

the format must be a complete URL like http://myproxy.mynetwork.local:3128 (with the http:// at the beginning) and not myproxy.mynetwork.local:3128.

This is indicated in the tooltip for the proxy settings dialog.
