Unable to update Linux from WebCID

Findingnewo

Hi there,

We are using a combination of Windows/Linux clients in our environment and are trying to configure our linux clients to update from our WebCID. I have configured it to share out the "savlinux" update folder, and provided firewall access. I then used the Sophos for Linux "mkpkg" process to create a package that points to our web server that contains the update directory. When I attempt to run it, it immediately looks for a file called "server.inf" - I can't find any trace of that file in any directory on our Sophos Server? What is going wrong here? Have I missed something?

    Hello Findingnewo,

    IIRC server.inf doesn't need to be there. Do you have any `client side log or command output showing the error? Often the MIME type settings on the web server are the culprit - you'd have to make sure there's a catch-all ("*" - heard that it works with text/plain) and there isn't any special server-side processing for known MIME types used in the CID.
