Remote Management difference with 4.5.0 and 4.6.0

Post#1 by gerstner » 27 Apr 2018, 23:59

We have 10 Porteus Kiosks installed on 4.5.0 with remote management. Great feature. We can change the config file on the server and on the next boot the devices pick up this change. Very nice as we management the devices in different locations.

All worked fine on 4.5.0. I upgrade 2 of the devices to 4.6.0 and used the same configuration files but get the error during boot:
Server is not accessible or remote config is not present on it.
System configuration will not be updated - please report this issue to your network administrator.

Tests confirm if I put a 4.5.0 version back on the network line, all is good and the remote file is used to manage the device. With 4.6.0 it never updates and on each device upgraded from 4.5.0 to 4.6.0 I get this error.

Please let me know what i am doing wrong here thanks, as this feature likely is too common and I didn't see any others posting issues with this feature as kiosk_config is a critical parameter in this mode.

I have replied to your email - did you get my response?

Basically i suspect a proxy issue and cant test it from my own PC. You need to associate your kiosk with my PK Server so i could debug this issue in your environment.

Thanks
