I'm experiencing a problem similar to what Luca Lafranchi reported in his message to the list on 22-Apr-2004 where autoyast claims it can't retrieve the needed control file. In my case, I am using SLES9 to retrieve the file via ftp. The log shows: 2004-08-20 16:04:01 <1> linux(875) [YCP] AutoinstConfig.ycp:214 urltok = $["frag ment":"", "host":"10.7.51.226", "pass":"", "path":"/control-files/test.xml", "po rt":"", "query":"", "scheme":"ftp", "user":""] 2004-08-20 16:04:01 <1> linux(875) [YCP] ProfileLocation.ycp:46 Path to remote c ontrol file: /control-files/test.xml 2004-08-20 16:04:01 <1> linux(875) [YCP] ProfileLocation.ycp:57 File=test.xml 2004-08-20 16:04:01 <1> linux(875) [agent-curl] CurlAgent.cc(Execute):209 Data: 2004-08-20 16:04:01 <1> linux(875) [agent-curl] CurlAgent.cc(Execute):210 Output : /tmp/YaST2-00875-tHiu4i/autoinst.xml 2004-08-20 16:04:01 <3> linux(875) [YCP] autoinstall/io.ycp:83 Can't find URL: f tp://10.7.51.226/control-files/test.xml so it claims that it can't find the file, but the log on the ftp server shows that the file was downloaded and in fact the output file .../autoinst.xml has the correct contents. So why is it claiming that it can't find it?
