jumbobreakfast 13 Posted July 10, 2015 Thanks for the quick reply but I tried that and there was no change. However, deleting a3s.cfg allowed it to run so I could update the repository. I don't think I had any addon search directories set since we are only using this as a repository so perhaps the update was expecting one. Thanks for your time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[lol]clan killer bee 1 Posted July 12, 2015 Good morning, I hope I'm not redoing this question. I run the arma3 sync now/host for a while with lot of fun. I just ran into a issue I might or missed or not understand at the moment. We have been switching providers and I got a new IP address ! I went to the online tab and changed it to the proper ip and port. Problem is that it doesn't save the ip and port number but the old one keeps coming back ! So peeps that get the repository get the wrong ip/server in the online tab or join server. With regards, KillerBee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[lol]clan killer bee 1 Posted July 13, 2015 Thank you for the reply Major. I have done that and I also have changed it like F2 and and reset the ip and the ports but no result the old ip came back. Also have tried to delete the online with the red cross and added a new online with name and ip and port ! Also that failed and the old op came back again ! I made a extra with another name in the online with the new ip and started from the list and it booted arma3 and all the addons and went straight to the server. When I restarted the arma3sync it was gone and behold the old freaking ip was still there ! It seems more that the ip don't get saved for some or other reason ? Only when you enter it directly in the online and than start is seems to do what is needs to be doing after that is is all the same old ! With regards, Killer Bee Ps sorry that the reply took so long kids vacation and so on and so on :P ---------- Post added at 17:40 ---------- Previous post was at 16:30 ---------- Okay I think that I found out what went wrong ! You were right about how too change it major only you need to make one more step to let it remember. You have too build the repo sent it to the server and than get the public auto config url and import it ! That why the old one gets overwritten . I thought there would be a repo update announcement you get the update and fixed ! You need to rerun auto config by import and than all comes together !

[lol]clan killer bee 1 Posted July 13, 2015 Okay I have checked it I just noticed that when the ip was correct but the addons in the addons tab wasn't checked. After this you need to check the addons if there checked if the addons are not there check the modset. Of course that is if the repomaker included that in the repo. Hope this might help someone who might run into the same problem ! Thanks for the reply Major. With regards, KillerBee ---------- Post added at 18:22 ---------- Previous post was at 18:16 ---------- There is no need to re-import the autoconfig. Pretty sure you have some mess with permissions access on ArmA3Sync files. I didn't do that! I installed the program as it was never changed anything and ran administration. The problem was that it didn't get saved (in my case) the new ip. Apparently the ip did get changed in the new repo but not by the program itself there on the spot ! Got another member that had the same problem we been testing it ! Might be a glidge or something like antivirus or something that prohibit the changing of certain files no idea !

Jastreb 69 Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Hi. I am trying to setup repository, but I ran into an issue. When I go to Check Addons, after I uploaded them to remote server via ftp I get 403 or access denied error. I nailed it down to my .htaccess in the root which is fine and has many rules for blocking all kinds of pests. If I disable it, A3Sync works. Permissions are fine, paths are fine too. Question is which method do you use in A3Sync which triggers my .htaccess rule to block it? I even tried to overide with new .htaccess in the repo folder ( which is on a subdomain now ) but it simply wont work, probably being intercepted as bad bot or other grabber method. I will not post my .htaccess in public, neither repo url since its a private server. I can send it to you via PM, or other means if needed. Please assist. Thanks. PS: Anonymous access via ftp is not possible, it is not allowed by my provider, so I cant use it as a way of managing repo. PPS: Most of the rules can be found here > http://pastebin.com/u/hackrepair Edited July 15, 2015 by Jastreb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PPS: Most of the rules can be found here > http://pastebin.com/u/hackrepair Past the url of the repo into a web browser and try browsing/downloading files (especially /.a3s/*) Configure the server as it should and then once it works use ArmA3Sync. Be sure that the server is configured to allow range request (true by default on Apache). ArmA3Sync can perfectly manage a FTP repo requiring credentials to login.

Jastreb 69 Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) So I should configure it to use ftp instead of http? Nope either way it fails.

Jastreb 69 Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) I think I have that in the rules in .htaccess to block empty user agents. Will check.

However be aware that blocking user-agent is a complete useless method nowadays against bots as it is very easy to workaround. Ah that is why I got 403 when trying to initialize the repo and check addons. Well, removing blacklist fixed it, but you should still add user agent. I know that blocking bots is not bulletproof, but it can at least save some bandwidth and reduce error log size. I will not block empty user agents anymore, but will apply rules for specific bots if I find it necessary. The bigger the htaccess the slower the site. Everything has a price I guess.
