SLES8 Retrieving Controlfile via http
Hello, according to the following documentation (http://yast.suse.com/autoinstall/sles8/autoyast2-sles8.pdf) about getting the controlfile :
If only the path prefix variable is defined, YaST2 will fetch the control file from the specified location in the following way: 1. First, it will search for the control file using its own IP address in upper case hexadecimal, e.g. 192.0.2.91 -> C000025B. 2. If that file is not found, it will remove one hex digit and try again. This action is repeated till the file with the correct name is found. Ultimately, it will try looking for a file with the MAC address of the clients as the file name (mac should have the following syntax: 0080C8F6484C) and if not found a file named default (in lower case). As an example, for 192.0.2.91, the HTTP client will try: C000025B C000025 C00002 C0000 C000 C00 C0 C 0080C8F6484C default
I want to use the mac-feature, but I can see in the logfiles from the webserver, that autoyast only tries the hexadecimal presentation of the ipaddress and not the mac adress and also not the file default. Has anyone the same experience?? thx and best regards ______________________________________________________________ Verschicken Sie romantische, coole und witzige Bilder per SMS!

Maybe you have a file like "C" or "C0" or something like that in your document root of the webserver? If not, paste that part of the access.log please. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nürnberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de
