Problems downloading patches
Hello all,
I have installed patch 119788-07 on my UC proxy server and patch 121118-10 on a couple of Sol 10 clients. I have also set the URLs as described in other forum threads to:
UCProxy # patchsvr setup -l
Patch source URL: https://getupdates1.sun.com/
UCClient # smpatch get patchpro.patch.source
patchpro.patch.sourcehttp://UCProxy:3816/
However I am still unable to recover the patches. I get the message:
UCClient # smpatch download
Failure: Cannot connect to retrieve current.zip: Service Unavailable
The old Sol 8 & 9 clients appear to be working correctly.
Any suggestions as to what I can try next?

I'd check the following (in order) -
* Can the UC proxy connect ok ("smpatch analyze")?
* Are there any small or zero byte files in the patchsvr cache (/var/sadm/spool/patchsvr by default) and if so delete them.
* Review the patchsvr logs in /var/patchsvr/logs. Specifically the catalina_log.<date>.txt and localhost_access.<date>.txt logs

Thanks for the reply,
smpatch analyze shows the expected list of outstanding patches but smpatch download shows "This patch could not be found" for every patch.
/var/sadm/spool/patchsvr contains directories and some files like
.%2Fall_signed%2F118677-03.jar
and others.
The logs do not show any specific errors that I can see.
How can I clear all cache on the UC Proxy so that it will start from scratch again?
