Hi,

I have a repo set up on port 95 of a machine and am using apache to proxy requests for http://pst.ireland/2008.11-sru to http://pst.ireland:95.

Occasionally (I haven't worked out how often or what exactly triggers this yet) I get the following error from pkg installs and image-updates:

pkg: Maximum (4) network retries exceeded during download. Details follow:
Transfer from 'http://pst.ireland/2008.11-sru' timed out: 408 - Request Timeout. (happened 4 times)

Using an authority of pst.ireland:95 works fine.

The apache config I have for this is:
ProxyRequests On
ProxyPass /2008.11-sru/ http://pst.ireland.sun.com:95/
ProxyPassReverse /2008.11-sru/ http://pst.ireland.sun.com:95/
RedirectMatch ^/2008.11-sru$ /2008.11-sru/
...
Just wondering if anyone else has come across (and resolved!) this issue before or if there is a better way of specifying the proxy in the apache config?

I can't speak to your particular issue, but here are some relevant configuration bits used for pkg.opensolaris.org:

    ProxyPass ... timeout=5 nocanon

...we don't use ProxyPassReverse as far as I can tell.

Also, I'm assuming you've specified the --proxy-base option to your pkg.depotd server (or set the pkg/proxy_base SMF property) to http://pst.ireland/2008.11-sru?

Do you actually have this configuration active right now?

You might also want to pick a different port than port 95 since FireFox blocks that port by default [1], making it difficult to browse the package repository.

Cheers,
