Issue with the Sametime 8 network-install if you misconfigure the original network package on the server
Tags :Sametime
Here is what I found. I installed the Sametime 8 server and also placed the network-install package on the server. For those of you not familiar with it, I suggest you go read how this is done over here. I then started the download. I forgot to specify the base URL inside the download properties though and when the install attempted to complete, it came up with errors. Lots of errors.
I then went back and placed the correct URL in the download properties file and tried again. I noticed that the install seemed to download incredibly quick. Halfway through, it then stopped and just sat there for a long time. I killed the install and tried again. Same thing. It then hit me. The original download was still in my cache for the browser so it was still reading the bad data. Here is a screenshot:
So I went in and removed that bottom file from the cache to see what the result would be. As expected a much longer download started again. You need to know the original part is 29MB and then more is pulled from the server. The client code itself is still 135MB when it is on the machine. So I am off to delete the file and redo the install.
