[hobbit] clientupdate help

[Hubbard, Greg L]

Sounds like you may have created your tar file incorrectly.  The
somewhat sketchy instructions say to create the tarball relative to the
client directory, not root.

	The plot thickens, I can now do a clientupdate...sort of, for
some damnable reason it puts itself under
/usr/local/hobbit/client/hobbit/client/ (the repeated hobbit/client is
not a mistake) any ideas why it would do this?? Running tar xvf on the
files on the server creates the directories in the same directory as the
tar (i.e. no hobbit/client) so why is it doing it on the client side? Do
I need to alter BBHOME somehow?

	 

	Thanks,

	Jason.

	Hi All,

	 

	Have been working with clientupdate to get our server's RE-IP to
go smoothly but am having problems, I put the tar files into ~/download
and alter client-local.cfg to do:

	 

	[Foo.bar] 

	            ClientID=server_move

	 

	The file under ~/download is call server_move.tar and has 777
permissions

	 

	The problem is it isn't working and I can't see a reason why,
when on foo.bar itself I run:

	 

	~/bin/clientupdate -update=server_move

	 

	And get the output:

	 

	tar: blocksize = 0

	 

	even adding .tar to the end of the -update does nothing, is
there any other way I can see what is happening and why it is going
wrong?

	 

	Thanks,

	Jason.

	 

	(note: - is -- outlook just does some formatting crap)
