Hi, I found some postings related to this on the list but none seem to help me with my problems. running 10.1 I have a www server that is connected to the internet and also to our private internal network. I have to rsync a mirror of opensuse on our www server and make that available to our internal net for installs and updates. The www server private IP is 10.0.0.9. I can add and use my local mirror the suse updates: rsync://suse.mirrors.tds.net/suse/suse/update/10.1 But I can't seem to add and use the opensuse 10.1 local mirror: rsync://suse.mirrors.tds.net/opensuse-full/ admin-02-01 /root# rug sl # | Status | Type | Name | URI --+--------+------+------------+------------------------------------------- 1 | Active | ZYPP | suse-local | http://10.0.0.9/pub/suse/suse/update/10.1/ admin-02-01 /root# rug ref Refreshing Services... 100% Successfully refreshed. admin-02-01 /root# rug sa --type=zypp http://10.0.0.9/pub/opensuse/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source/suse local-opensuse Adding zypp service... 0% ERROR: Could not add 'http://10.0.0.9/pub/opensuse/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source/suse': Failed to parse XML metadata: Can't add repository at http://10.0.0.9/pub/opensuse/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source/suse: Cannot create the installation source Any ideas?
