Re: [buckminster-dev] Update Manager for buckminster workaround or doesn

["ken1" <kenneth@xxxxxxxxx>]

MessageHi,

Starting from the bottom, testing the update site directly in the browser is 
a good way to ascertain basic connectivity. However, surfing directly to the 
...updates directory is not possible; the access denied error you get is 
normal. This is because the web server is not configured to allow directory 
browsing and is not something I/we have control over. The actual URL the 
update manager is aiming at is actually this: 
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/buckminster/updates/site.xml. Enter 
this, and you should see the xml file.

Assuming this works, I'm betting it's something simple that gives you the 
error when trying the update manager. I tested and manually entered the URL 
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/buckminster/updates as the 'remote 
site' and it seems to work for me. It can be something so mundane as a typo 
(lord knows I frequently make those when entering update site URL's - for 
example some sites use 'update' and others, like us, use 'updates'). Please 
double-check...

If this still fails I'm a bit at a loss - something internal to your 
organization? Maybe you're behind a proxy (the preferences for the update 
manager allows you to fill in proxy information). Which method do you use 
(the page has a preconfigured bookmarks.xml you can use instead of manually 
entering the URL(s)...I haven't tested this myself yet though, I will). 
Also, check your error log for something more specific (the error message is 
pretty much a catch-all for any network problem).

Hope this helps, come back if it still doesn't work,

Hi,

I am trying to install buckminster using Eclipse update manager as described 
under :

http://wiki.tada.se/wiki/display/buckminster/Getting+Started

But, for a while it tries to contact the given URL and comes out with a 
message that "Network connection problems encountered during the search"

Is this a bug / problem ? or I am doing something wrong.

If I try to access the buckminster update site (following)  using web 
browser :

http://download.eclipse.org/technology/buckminster/updates

Access forbidden!
You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either 
no index document or the directory is read-protected.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
