* Specify the OS of the machine used for administration/package creation (Linux)

Good morning,

I now have my secondary repository configured, however when I go to the repository tab and try to create my index on the server, nothing happens.

My secondary repository is therefore waiting for the index.
I'm having trouble following your procedure for setting up this deposit system... I'm stuck at this step: https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/wapt-replica ... figuration

I can't find the waptserver.ini file which, according to your documentation, is located on the main server; there's nothing in /opt/wapt.

Thank you,

The server configuration file is /opt/wapt/conf/waptserver.ini

I will look into making this more explicit in the documentation.

Sincerely,

Denis

Thank you.

You mention the [global] section in the documentation, but there is no global section in waptserver.ini, only [options].

So I added the section and tested with and without it, but nothing happens with the index creation process...

Yes, it's in the [options] section that it needs to be added. We're going to have some documentation updating to do

Hello,

that's exactly what I did, but the index isn't being created.

Thank you.

Good morning,
So you will need:
* Add `remote_repo_support=True` to the [options] section of `/opt/wapt/conf/waptserver.ini`
* Restart your server: Can you verify that a sync.json file has been created in the /var/www folder?
If not, you can create it in /var/www/ and assign it the correct permissions. Creating this file may take some time depending on the number and size of the packages on your server.
Check from time to time if it has content with cat for example.
Best regards,

Or you can upgrade to version 1.8.1; there's a bug fix related to that

Good morning,

Thank you for your valuable help!

I have since updated my server to version 1.8.1; the files were created correctly, but nothing is being written to them.

Here are the details of the permissions in /var/www/
Do they have the correct permissions? (I've since deleted and recreated the sync.json file, but it's the same)
My waptserver.ini is also correctly configured.

Code: Select all

-rw-r--r--  1 wapt     www-data     0 Feb 19 15:42 sync.json
-rw-r-----  1 wapt     www-data     0 Jan 28 14:05 rules.json

Do they have the correct permissions? (I've since deleted and recreated the sync.json file, but it's the same)
My waptserver.ini is also correctly configured.

The rules.json file is populated when rules are saved in the secondary repository tab. It's normal for it to be empty if there are no rules.

Sincerely,

Denis

I updated the server with my various repositories to version 1.8.1, and it has appeared since the update.
