Re: [wpkg-users] mutlple profiles for 1 client

> This way WPKG would _always_ add profile2 to any host.
Yes that is _exactly_ what Im trying to achieve.

I can see what your suggesting, it just seems a very reverse way of
thinking.

basically have:
.+ -> everyone profile

and for each profile I wish to include everyone (every profile) I create
a meta-profileA which points to profileA + everyone profile.
I will answer my own question, WPKG for some reason only allows 1 regexp
match for each host.

To give an example:

WS.*-> all workstation software (notepad replacement, etc)
WSAUST.*-> all australian software profile (intranet etc)
WSAUSTLAB   -> software for AU labs

using this method I do not have to re-add default software to every
profile or have a metal profile for every single profile to support an
all computers profile.

This way WPKG would _always_ add profile2 to any host. This is probably
also not what you intend to do. If you really want to assign two
profiles to one node I told you already how to create a profile which
will include the contents of two other profiles (using profile
dependencies).

Id expect WS001 to match profile 1 and 2 as the regexp will match the
host name.

WS00.*  profile1
.*  profile2

is this possible ? or it it strictly 1 regexp match per host ?

Yes, this is exactly what you tell WPKG to do. Both definitions you use
are regular expressions. The first one (WS00.*) will match all host
names match contain WS00... Thus matching WS001 too. So WPKG will start
from top matching the profiles and it will find your WS00.* definition
and discover it matches. So
profile1 is assigned to the host.

For Hosts named WS01 the first definition will not match so WPKG
continues to look for a matching definition - here the second one ".*"
will match and profile
2 gets assigned.

If you want to assign multiple profiles to one host then I recommend
creating a "meta-profile" (e.g. profile-WS00) which depends on profile1
and profile2, so packages of both profiles get included. Then of course
assign the profile-WS00 to the first host definition.

If this is not what you're looking for please state your naming
conventions and what you would like to achieve so we might be able to
help you to find the right configuration.

[wpkg-users] mutlple profiles for 1 client

[Jacob Jarick]

I use wpkgexpress (most recent version r11) and the wpkg client 1.3.9.

I have the following hosts listed:

WS00.*  profile1
.*  profile2

profile2 is never applied to the host WS001. if I reverse the hosts
positions in the file / frontend profile1 is never applied.


Following: http://wpkg.org/Hosts.xml I have put the all inclusive match
at the bottom, though the wiki fails to explain why this is neccesary.

Help Please.

Has anyone else had this issue and managed to resolve it ?

We have several domains.

There is a bug with regards to importing XML files in the current
revision. It may or may not be related to the problem you're having, but
I thought I'd give you a heads up on it (there is an issue raised about
this in the project site). This bug causes certain XML documents to be
parsed incorrectly such that the results of the parse are missing XML
nodes completely and/or the parsed results are formatted incorrectly.

This bug was introduced when I upgraded the version of CakePHP that
wpkgExpress is packaged with to the latest stable version (1.2.5 as of
this writing). I have already submitted a ticket, and recently a patch,
to CakePHP's developers that from my testing, successfully fixes this
bug.

I plan on having a new release available by the end of the week.

My personal recommendation here would be a script/tool which exports ADS
information to WPKG XML files based on schedule or trigger. However
there is a (yet unsupported) patch for an early WPKG 1.1 version in
Bugzilla:


I am still having some concerns integrating it into the official
version. Maybe it will make its way in WPKG 1.2 release (where I plan
some bigger internal re-structurings anyway).

In general I am not a big friend of doing ADS lookup with JScript
because of stability and portability. Moreover most WPKG users
(including me) do not have an ADS running. So integrating ADS support
would increase testing effort (each patch/release would have to be
tested in detail by somebody having an ADS). Even the patch in Bugzilla
has never been ported/tested for newer WPKG releases.
So for the stable releases I clearly focus on stability and
compatibility for the majority of WPKG users (using plain shares and XML
files).

Having a tool which exports ADS information to XML files would allow ADS
users to run WPKG with ADS "support" while people without ADS are not
affected by code which they will never use.

br,
Rainer

Hi,

I've successfully installed R with the packages.xml at
http://wpkg.org/R. 
Now I'm trying to automate installation of some R libaries by adding the
following:
 where r-libraries.r is
http://daa.com.au/~jamesa/r-libraries.r

When I run this from cmd.exe, it works fine, but when I run WPKG, it
still installs, but Rscript.exe never exits. If I run
\\install\wpkg\wpkg.js /synchronize, I can see the download dialogs, and
an Rscript cmd window appears but it has no output (even if I add print
commands to r-libraries.r) and stays open once the script has finished.
Even adding a q('n') command to force it to quit has no effect. So I
think there's something about the way WPKG is calling Rscript.exe that's
preventing it from exiting.

The WPKG version is 1.1.1, WPKG client 1.3.9, the file server is Samba
3.0.28a and the client Windows XP SP3.

Do you have any idea what's causing this, or how I can debug it further?

Thanks,

wpkg.js is using an ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0") object to read XML
files from an URL. I guess this is using a proxy if one is configured. If a
proxy should by bypassed then the host should be added to the exception list
within the proxy configuration. I guess this could be done by GPO or directly by
IE configuration.
You could check your proxy logs too in order to check if WPKG tries to access
the file via proxy.

I also see that you're using an HTTPS connection. I don't see why it shouldn't
work but I have to admit I've never run a WPKG installation reading the files
from HTTPS yet.

Rainer

Re: [wpkg-users] FW: Client broken ? refuses to download profiles.xml viahttp - Help Please

[Jacob Jarick]

Falko Trojahn,

well after some more testing I have found the WPKG client not to be at fault, 
neither does it seem to be a "limbo proxy setting" lurking around.

to test:
* I created a folder under xampp/htdocs called test
* copied the generated .xml files to the directory
* adjusted wpkg_base in config.xml to this:
   
* then reran the client

Worked fine.


I believe it maybe a ssl invalid cert issue as everything else had the old 
behaviour of ignoring invalid certs by default and now everything is prompting 
the user.
Is it possible that the WPKG client will reject a url if the cert is invalid ?


I shall move this thread to wpkgexpress now, thanks for the help Falko.

Yes I have tried without proxy configuratio, though our domain configuration is 
rather f***ed up, so that could still be the issue.

Its not a wpkgexpress issue, the frontend is doing its intended job of serving 
out xml files (which I as I said I have tested with every browser known to man).

The client fails to process them, the exact same files saved locally work. This 
most certainly is a wpkg issue and not wpkgexpress.

Just an idea: did you try on same system without proxy-configuration (as you 
wrote in another mail)?

BTW: I think this discussion should go to WpkgExpress list, see:

[Jacob Jarick]

Yes I have tried without proxy configuratio, though our domain
configuration is rather f***ed up, so that could still be the issue.

Its not a wpkgexpress issue, the frontend is doing its intended job of
serving out xml files (which I as I said I have tested with every
browser known to man).

The client fails to process them, the exact same files saved locally
work. This most certainly is a wpkg issue and not wpkgexpress.

I have just saved the generated .xml's from wpkgexpress to my WPKG share
and set wpkg_base to '' in config.xml.
This works perfectly, it is only when the client (wpkg.js) trys to
connect to the webserver, it makes the connection then gives up.

Can someone confirm this form me before I make a bug report, thanks.

[wpkg-users] FW: web frontend, url works but client does not read url

[Jacob Jarick]

I nulled my access.log, reran the client and got this:

So it does seem to be going straight to my XAMPP server but it still
gets an empty file, thoughts anyone ?

I have tested the url that fails from one of our linux servers with curl

But when the client attempts to read the url, it fails.

config.xml: http://pastebin.ca/1574757

We do have a proxy enabled on our domain, is it possible the client is
grabbing them and trying to access a local server through the proxy ?

This looks to be my last hurdle (fingers crossed).

Re: [wpkg-users] which frontend to use

[Jacob Jarick]

Just an update.
 
I believe the reason my previous attempts did not work was due to
several things, I followed the instructions again starting with a fresh
XAMPP install, properly configured httpd.conf as per cakephp's
instructions.
When to http:///installer and it worked :)
 
mscdex I have to compliment you on such a nice interface, very
asthetically pleasing.
 
About to test the client now that I have updated config.xml with:

I also use xampp on both Windows and Linux when developing wpkgExpress.
AFAIK I didn't have to make any configuration changes specifically for
wpkgExpress to make it work.

Im using xampp atm, about to scrap and try fresh again - if I

wpkgExpress comes with CakePHP, so there is no need to install
it first. There are several existing issues with both with the
wiki/documentation and the code itself that do need investigating and/or
fixing. However, I admit I haven't had much free time to devote to the
project for awhile because work and education have been consuming the
majority of my time.

Are you sure these files are new? If you set logLevel to 1 (errors only)
WPKG usually would log nothing at all. So if you still have some log
files in your log directory they just stay there unless WPKG has to
write a new one.

So you might still see a log of a previous run because any following
WPKG run with logLevel 1 did not have to write to a log file at all.

So try removing your old log files and see if it's re-created. Probably
it's not.

Re: [wpkg-users] help: install if file does not exist

[Jacob Jarick]

Thanks for the info Rainer, I will shift to your suggestions instead of my 
rename.
Was my check syntax correct though ?

First of all I don't believe that renaming the exe file is the right way. In
fact it could even cause problems.
Instead I recommend just to remove the startup entry for the update sheduler:

reg delete "RUN_PATH=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v
"SunJavaUpdateSched" /f

This removes the startup of the update scheduler.
On this occasion you might also disable the quick starter service:

net stop JavaQuickStarterService
sc config JavaQuickStarterService start= disabled

This approach works for me since quite a while.


Your rename might fail for example if jusched.exe is still running while you try
to rename it. So you should at least use taskkill to assure that it's not 
running.

br,
Rainer

[wpkg-users] help: install if file does not exist

[Jacob Jarick]

Hi all,

I am trying to make a package install on the condition a file exists.

here is my current package:




 




unfortunately it returns true, even though the file exists. I have tested the 
"install cmd" via console and the cmd does work.

Re: [wpkg-users] WPKG client screen no displaying

[Jacob Jarick]

Thats really good advice, Thanks Pendl.
Id prefer on login, but you offer a good alternative so I will put both forward 
at the next meeting.

I am using the latest beta version of the WPKG client and run it at shutdown.
This way I do not have users waiting till WPKG is finished or any running 
process conflicting with WPKG.
In addition a reboot is never needed, since the installation is done just 
before it.

It shouldn't be the case.
If the delay is enabled and wpkg.js has really nothing to do, you should 
see this dialog for 10 seconds or so (the time when wpkg.js starts, 
reads config files, makes check and eventually quits).

If the delay is longer for you, this might suggest that wpkg.js is 
really doing something (hangs at installing something etc.).


To find out what it could be, set logging to your server in config.xml, 
and just browse the log (and check the timestamps) for a given 
workstation (the one which you think shouldn't be doing anything, but 
has a logon delay window waiting).

Thanks Tomasz,
the delay brings up the gui :)

Unfortunately it seems to delay login by 1 minute everytime after that even if 
there are no packages to be installed.
Is there a way around this or is it a current limitation ?

So far WPKG seems an ideal solution for our large network and I love how its 
configured through local xml files, excellent program/project.

Please try to set logon delay to be bigger than 0.

[wpkg-users] WPKG client screen no displaying

[Jacob Jarick]

Hi,
I am a new user of WPKG - I am setting it up for a demo at the company I
work for.
Everything has gone smoothly, but the only thing I am having trouble
with atm is I cannot get the client screen to display while WPKG
installs the packages.

I set show in the client gui when creating settings.xml but no
difference.

settings.xml:


\\ws0452\WPKG\wpkg.jscorp.amdel.c
om\utlabBLANKSYSTE
M/synchronize
/nonotify
/quietYESYES0<
logon-message-1>WPKG is installing applications and applying
settings...Please wait, don't restart
or power off your
computer...normalYESNOstandard33

config.xml (to long for email):
http://pastebin.ca/1568084

If someone could give me a hand, it would be much appreciated.
Id be happy to update the wiki faq as well.

Cheers
