[RESOLVED] Empty WUA repository

Hello
, today my server is acting strangely!
The /var/www/waptwua directory is full with almost 300 files, but the console remains stubbornly empty, and when I try to install Windows updates, waptwua fails because it can't find the files to download.
How can I rebuild the update database?

Of course, I've rebooted the server, but that didn't change anything.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello,
You should check the download history from the Windows Update tab in the WAPT console and perhaps also /var/log/wapttasks.log on the WAPT server.
Best regards,
Bertrand

The history shows nothing abnormal.
As for wapttasks.log, it only contains INFO, no errors.

We would need to check the database status with this SQL query to see:

Code: Select all

SELECT * from WsusUpdates
Apparently there are cab downloads, so it looks more like a problem with a filter checked in the GUI.

Hi.
So, I don't know what happened, but this morning it was back to normal.
I waited until at least one machine was properly updated, but it's all good now.
We can close this.
Thanks. :)
