Jan, *MY* PPM resists on http://ppm-ia.ActiveState.com/PPM/ppmserver-5.8-windows.plex (DEFAULTURL) is my profile_server, but there is no such file there (only ppmserver-5.8-dave.plex, ppmserver-5.8-tj.plex and ppmserver.plex). So if I set enable-tracking to 1, the PPM prints 404 Not Found on Repository.pm line 84 (where ppm_protocol is called) When I changed my ($proxy, $uri) = ($1, $2); my $client = $o->{client} = SOAP::Lite->uri($uri)->proxy($proxy); To my ($proxy, $uri) = ($1, $2); $proxy = 'http://ppm-ia.ActiveState.com/PPM/ppmserver.plex'; (EXISTINGURL) my $client = $o->{client} = SOAP::Lite->uri($uri)->proxy($proxy);
the error message is supressed but profiles does not work still (of course). I have tried to change DEFAULTURL in clientlig.cfg, PPM-Agent-Perl.pkg and repositories.cfg files to EXISTINGURL, but after launchig PMM again, these settings are set back to DEFAULTURL JB > -----Original Message----- > From: Jan Dubois [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 12:13 AM > To: Gregory, Carlton > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Using PPM > > > On Wed, 26 Feb 2003 17:13:35 -0500, "Gregory, Carlton" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >Good Evening, > > G'day! > > > I am trying to use PPM but cannot get past some errors. > > > > I have looked at the docs and have boiled down some problems. > > > > My Perl is 5.8.0 build 805.
