Hi,
Am having problems with my Bubba server!
When i add a image file like a ISO to the download list, It will not add the file and then crash the server, So then i have to reboot the server and still not showing any file in the down list!

What is the best thing to do?

Thanks for your help

Hi,

We released an update a couple of days ago that fixed some issues with the downloadmanager when corrupt links or torrent files was added.
Please make sure you are running the latest release.

Also, is it possible for you to provide the link that crashes your system?

Hello pa,

It says there is no update, i never had a update from the day i had it.
I do not know if something may be blocking my bubba to your servers!
The file links are like Linux download links.. like Ubuntu.com ISO downloads.
http://se.releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubun ... e-i386.iso
It can be anything to do in file images.

It will not add the images to the downloadmanager.

Thanks for your help

could you check or upload your /etc/apt/sources.list ?

If you have never made an upgrade then I suggest that resolving this problem is the first step since there has been some major updates to the software handling downloads.

Are you familiar with using the command line?
Can you, as Eek asked, post your /etc/apt/souces.list and also the output from the commands:

(before doing this, make sure you have only Excitos repositories enabled)

# apt-get update (run as root)
# apt-get dist-upgrade (run as root)

The default setting in the bubba is that only the excito repositories are activated, though if the web-update doesn't seems to work, here is how to do it the "hard" way:

• Get hand on an ssh client, if using *.nix, it's an 99.99% probaillity that one is already installed. If using Windows, install http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/lat ... taller.exe
• login using your username and password (remember to activate ssh-access in the user settings in the web-admin)
• when logged in, type su, following by enter, type the password excito
• type cat /etc/apt/sources.list, verify that the output is

  Code: Select all

  #deb http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ sarge main
  #deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main
  #deb http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ sarge non-free
  
  deb http://update.excito.net/ bubba main
  

• If it's not similar at all, the file must be edited, to do that, use either nano or vi to edit the file.
• when the file seems to be fine, type apt-get update
• If that also went fine, type apt-get dist-upgrade
• If something didn't work out fine, please paste the output here.

Could it be a router problem? If yes, what ports should be open to allow update? Also, our firewall is set to see outside - but nothing can come inside.

Thanks

Does your router assign IP:s via DHCP, or do you have inserted the network settings manually into the Bubba?

We have inserted network settings manually. We can access the Bubba on the Internet with out any problems.

Check that the network setting for DNS server is valid.
