Hiebert,

Thank you very much for that detailed description. You are right. Using
"http://master.dl.sourceforge.net"; always works.

That is why I ended up with redirecting all download requests of the
iSphere update site to "http://master.dl.sourceforge.net";. That is
different what "elmuerte" describes here:

http://elmuerte.blogspot.de/2009/08/eclipse-update-site-on-sourceforge.html

He redirects all root request to "http://master.dl.sourceforge.net"; and
all other requests to "http://download.sourceforge.net";. But we all know
that using "http://download.sourceforge.net"; returns a 302 error.

Eventually I installed the current releases and the beta versions of RDi
and WDSCi from the current iSphere update site.

Hope that works for you guys, too.

Thomas.

Now the isphere.sourceforge.net update site always gives me a 302 error in eclipse. Our networking department watched the traffic and it appeared that Eclipse download the file, but then still returned an error. So it might be an issue with Eclipse 4.4.2.


These update sites seem to always work for me, probably because they don't redirect to a mirror to download the files:

http://master.dl.sourceforge.net/project/isphere/beta-version/eclipse/rdi8.0/

http://master.dl.sourceforge.net/project/isphere/eclipse/rdi8.0/


I've only seen the certpath error if I had entered the site as https instead of http into RDI/eclipse.

I don't run RDI as administrator and I have RDI installed to c:\IBM\SDP95, with the shared folder as C:\IBM\SDPShared.
Updates to plugins work fine.


I always run Installation Manager as admin, but that is for a RDI Upgrade.

I've done the User Install option for Installation manager and RDI for another developer. Which does not require the tool to be run as an administrator. So far it works without admin rights.


We are behind a NTLM Proxy, so we always have to update the RDI eclipse.ini file to include:
-Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors=org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient4

Subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] Announcement iSphere 2.9.4.r and 3.0.0.b007

Folks,

I am sorry, but I am completely lost with SourceForge as the iSphere update site. I am as sure as I could be that I properly followed the instructions here:

http://elmuerte.blogspot.de/2009/08/eclipse-update-site-on-sourceforge.html

a) I opted for the .htaccess approach and did not mirror site.xml.

b) I added the url property to site.xml like this:

<site
url="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/isphere/beta-version/eclipse/rdi8.0";>

c) I created .htaccess like this:

# Default index page
DirectoryIndex index.html

# Enable URL rewriting
RewriteEngine On

# Do not redirect requests to the root directory RewriteRule ^\s*$ $1 [L]

# Do not redirect requests to 'index.html'
RewriteRule ^(index.html)$ $1 [L]

# Do not redirect requests to 'assets'
RewriteRule ^(assets/.*)$ $1 [L]

# Redirect requests of root resources to the master site RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$
http://master.dl.sourceforge.net/project/isphere/beta-version/eclipse/rdi8.0/$1
[L]

# The rest goes to the auto-mirror location RewriteRule (.*)
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/isphere/beta-version/eclipse/rdi8.0/$1
[L]

The only difference is that I do not redirect requests to the root directory and to "index.html", because the root directory stores the iSphere homepage.


Is the a brave guy who wants to join the project and fix that?

Please update iSphere from the zip file until the update site problem has been fixed.

Regards,

Thomas.

Thank you Brian - downloading the ZIP worked!
