Lite Upgrade (3.4 to 3.6) via a proxy server doesn't work

[WytWun]

Just wanted to report that removing the --no-proxy option to the wget command Jerry identified has allowed me to complete the upgrade to 3.6 on the system behind the proxy.  Thanks!

Please mark the thread as Solved. I'll update the code for the next release.

Commands did work. Results are in pasted text link (kept getting a 403 error when trying to post).

So what's my next step(s)?

[member=6217]humdinger70[/member] it looks like you you actually got to the repo with wget in that link you provided. So, I will just increase the timeout to see if that solves the problem.


Change line 495 in /usr/bin/lite-upgrade-series3 to:

Code:

wget -qnv -t2 -T8 --ignore-length --max-redirect=1  --spider http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/db/version

that's -t2 ( two tries ) in -T8 (in 8 seconds) ... which should be plenty to connect to the server. It looks like the issue is your machine just taking to long to "talk" to the server. Or even better, the current -t2 -T1 is just way too low of a value for some cases. Hope that helps.

Watching this and other posts about Lite Upgrade issues with interest. In the meantime, the following change has been made to Lite Upgrade:

Code:

wget -qnv -t2 -T8 --ignore-length --max-redirect=1  --spider http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/db/version

Thanks. That did it. I'm now on 3.6 )although all the Lite Sources repositories are marked as 'TIMED OUT'.

Lite Sources suffers from the same illness    ... remove the --no-proxy statement in line 19 and increase the timeout. That should get you going. For whatever reason your DNS resolver or something else between your network and the end-party takes too long to talk to each other.

Fixed in latest release.
