SDK Installer trouble
I’m getting an error using the installer. Here’s the log from the installer:
Installer version 3.2.0 (windows)
Using Locale: en_US
Fetched the SDK download mirror URL from the CGI.
SDK version Apache Flex SDK 4.14.1
AIR version 18.0
Flash Player version 18.0
Creating Apache Flex home
Creating temporary directory
Downloading Apache Flex SDK from: http://apache.spd.co.il/</p><!-- ilflex/4.14.1/binaries/apache-flex-sdk-4.14.1-bin.zip
Unable to download Apache Flex SDK
Installation aborted
This is from the installer itself which I downloaded from the direct link. If I use the badge on the installer page, I get a similar error:
Not Found
The requested URL /</p><!-- ilflex/installer/3.2/binaries/apache-flex-sdk-installer-3.2.0-bin.exe was not found on this server.
Apache Server at 127.0.0.1 Port 12345
On Mac, I get a similar error as well:
Not Found
The requested URL /</p><!-- ilflex/installer/3.2/binaries/apache-flex-sdk-installer-3.2.0-bin.dmg was not found on this server.
The Mac installer has a similar error to the Windows one above:
Installer version 3.2.0 (mac)
Using Locale: en_US
Fetched the SDK download mirror URL from the CGI.

Is this a problem with the Apache mirror setup?

I couldn’t connect via Remote Desktop. It seemed to accept credentials
but then I waited 5 minutes while it tried to “configure the session”.
Erik, can you use manage.windowsazure.com to reboot this VM?
Thanks,

Are you able to at least reboot the other one (

Not sure. I keep hoping the “free” renewal will happen.

Yes, the nightly build server is off-line. I have been unsuccessful in
renewing may Apache Committer MSDN license. I may end up paying for it
myself.

I am not sure if this is related, but I have been unable to install the flex
nightly using the installer for a while. The error message happens as soon
as I press the "next" button. I can install the other versions of flex, but
not the nightly. I reinstalled the installer and have the cache off.

We haven't done anything yet. We need to make changes to the installer,
and installer badge to read the JSON parsed output. The change that is in
place is a fix we put in place on the server so that the current versions
will still function.
I'm really booked out this week, but can start looking at it this weekend.
Somebody else is more than welcome to look as well.

Re: SDK Installer trouble

They didn't give a drop-dead date for the move, but they asked us to start
making the change. I think it would be reasonable for us to push that
change with the next installer update.
I don't think we need our own CGI script in the future, if we can utilize
the JSON file. They originally put that in for the Open Office folks, so I
know they won't change it on the fly for the next reason.

Yup, it certainly is a hack, but one we could put in place quickly.
How long did Infra say they’d let us run the way we currently are? Are
they also deprecating the asjson param in favor of as_json?
If we do go and change the Installer, it seems like we need to have it
pull its mirror URL from a new entry in the sdk-installer-4.0.xml file,
otherwise we’ll break current installs. Does that make sense? And if we
are going to use JSON, do we even our own cgi script. Seems like we can
just parse what we need out of the JSON?

We could, but that is very hack-ish. Even more hack-ish than the installer
code-base.

Re: SDK Installer trouble

I’m just exploring ways to avoid having to make another Installer release.
From a quick look at the code, the Installer code effectively
screen-scrapes the cgi result. It looks like it is looking for the first
<p> tag. Switching to JSON certainly makes sense, but then we need a new
release. Could our single-mirror-url.cgi call mirror.cgi with as_json and
find the URL in the JSON, wrap it in a <p> tag and return that? I don’t
know much about cgi.

Re: SDK Installer trouble

We are OK still having the .cgi on our site as is. But they deprecated the
results of mirrors.cgi that output just the URL. They want us to use that
same script, but with the JSON output.

Re: SDK Installer trouble

Hi Nick,
Thanks for digging into this. FWIW, the flex-sdk download.xml ant script
currently uses closer.cgi. The FlexJS install script uses
http://www.apache.org/dyn/mirrors/mirrors.cgi. If infra has shut off
mirrors.cgi then we have more work to do, although we already hit
mirrors.cgi with an “asjson” parameter as opposed to the “as_json”
parameter Infra is now suggesting. Is Infra blocking the old asjson
parameter?
Before we put everything on hold to try to create another Installer
release, is there any way we can redirect our single-mirror-url.cgi to
some other URL? I don’t know if the .htaccess files kick in first, or if
we can fix the installer by changing the sdk-installer-config-4.0.xml to
point to a single-mirror-url.lua or something like that. AFAICT, the
installer picks up the URL of single-mirror-url.cgi from the
sdk-installer-config-4.0.xml file.

Infra has put in a temporary fix for this. Everything should be working
again.
They have asked us to switch to a system that can parse JSON. The JSON
call will call the new LUA script which helps them out.
It looks like we will have to fix the installer badge and the installer
itself. I don't think anything else depends on the CGI on our server
(somebody correct me if I'm wrong). The new URL to parse would be
http://flex.apache.org/single-mirror-url.cgi?as_json=1

I'm working with infra to see what is going on. We are not the only

Yes, I am afraid so.
They have made changes to how the mirror URLs are retrieved.
It looks like we will need to change the installer to replace .cgi with
.lua in the call, and also tidy up whatever is causing the HTML comment
to appear.
In the mean time, you should be able to install using Ant (instructions
on the help page linked from the side of the installer Flash app).
