Hi all. I am trying to install some packages from a host that I just was able to add into SUMA as a client. But I get the: Permission to access ‘[http://my.suma.server.suse.manager.com/pub/repositories/sle/12/1/bootstrap/repodata/repomd.xml](http://my.suma.server.suse.manager.com/pub/repositories/sle/12/1/bootstrap/repodata/repomd.xml)’ denied. It seems I can’t install any thing. Any idea why? I opened up the firewall for ssh protocol. Is this a files permission thing or a firewall protocol thing? Or neither? ---

What are the directory permissions/owner. – Cheers Malcolm °¿° SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE Leap 42.3|GNOME 3.20.2|4.4.120-45-default If you find this post helpful and are logged into the web interface, please show your appreciation and click on the star below… Thanks! ---

I can’t get to that site at all. Hmmmmm. 404 Not Found. /pub/repositories not found on this server. /pub not even found on the server. ---

OK, scratch the statement before. I can get to them in the web browser. Still not able to access it through the client. ---

One thing I don’t understand is that I can access [http://FQDN/pub/repositories/sle/12/1/bootstrap/repodata/repomd.xml](http://FQDN/pub/repositories/sle/12/1/bootstrap/repodata/repomd.xml) just fine from the web, but when trying to install a package from the client it tells me that [http://FQDN.suse.manager.com/pub/repositories/sle/12/1/bootstrap/repodata/repomd.xml](http://FQDN.suse.manager.com/pub/repositories/sle/12/1/bootstrap/repodata/repomd.xml)’ denied. Why is it adding in the ‘[suse.manager.com](http://suse.manager.com)’ part? ---

I realized what I did. There was a command in the suse getting started manual that says: 1. On your minion as root enter the following command: # zypper ar [http://FQDN.SUSE.Manager.com/pub/repositories/sle/12/3/bootstrap/](http://FQDN.SUSE.Manager.com/pub/repositories/sle/12/3/bootstrap/) \ sles12-sp3 So I did my full FQDN and then add the [suse.manager.com](http://suse.manager.com) part… I wasn’t thinking. Just changed the line in the repo. Lol. Sorry Malcomlewis…you’ve been helping me out a lot buddy!
