403 forbidden on repomd.xml

Octopus Server
1

I am trying to install a tentacle on centos as per the documentation at https://octopus.com/docs/infrastructure/deployment-targets/linux/tentacle. However it is failing as the permissions on the octopus repository metadata file are incorrect.

yum install tentacle
Loaded plugins: priorities
https://rpm.octopus.com/tentacle.repo/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTPS Error 403 - Forbidden

Hi @bobjabram

Thanks for getting in touch. I did some testing here on a CentOS 7 test box and haven’t been able to replicate the problem. I’m wondering if perhaps there was a transient issue and if it will work for you now.

Are you able to retest and confirm if the problem still exists at your end?

Regards,
Alex

Hi Alex,

Thanks for looking in to it, appreciate it. Still getting the forbidden, tried on different servers and from a few different networks, its gets blocked each time. The error message i get is the AWS forbidden message so not being blocked by a proxy on the network etc.

Hi @bobjabram
What distribution and version of Linux are you using?
The url https://rpm.octopus.com/tentacle.repo/repodata/repomd.xml is not actually valid, So I am interested in knowing how Yum has resolved that, the real url to repomd.xml is http://rpm.octopus.com/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml

This is now working correctly, not sure what has changed but thanks for the assistance.

Hi @bobjabram,

Glad to hear that it’s working for you.
