Hi Keywan,

Package: apt-cacher
Version: 0.8-4
Severity: important

After an update from 0.7-2 the access from the clients is denied

Sorry about the very slow response to this bug report, my wife just had
a baby last weekend and things have been rather hectic for me. I'm just starting to catch up on things.

I think you've been caught by the new client authentication mechanism
which allows you to specify a range of IP addresses that are allowed to
use your cache. Any machines outside this range are denied (hence the
403: Access Denied). The loopback address (127.0.0.1) is always
explicitly allowed, so one way to test this would be to set your
apt-cacher machine up to use itself as a cache and then try an update on
it. That should work.

The format of the 'allowed_hosts' entry you need to put in the config
file is explained in 'man apt-cacher'.

Please let me know if that was the problem so I can close this bug
report. I'll also close #264149 anyway, since it appears to be a
duplicate of this report.

Cheers :-)

Jonathan Oxer

Until "Fehl..." you see the normal apt-get output and the last line with
"E:" is just the normal proposal, when a package is not reachable.


When i downgrade to 0.7-2 everything is well instead of an slow "apt-get update" from the clients.

An update or installation on the host where apt-cacher is installed isn't a problem.

in /var/log/apt-cacher/*log there wasn't any error but in /var/log/apache2/error.log: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Sat Aug 07 14:49:32 2004] [error] [client 192.168.1.2] Scalar value @allowed_hosts_parts[0] better written as $allowed_hosts_parts[0] at /usr/share/apt-cacher/apt-cacher.pl line 231.
