Error running Online Update Configuration

SUSE Product Topics SLES Configure-Administer
1

I have just installed an evaluation copy of SLES 11 SP3 on z. I was trying to run the ‘Online Update Configuration’-> ‘Register for support and get update repository’ but I am getting an error. I see it trying to contact the server, but get ‘An error occurred while connecting to the server’. Selecting detials, I see ‘ERROR: 400: HTTP Status 400 - An improper code was supplied’. I’m not sure what I need to do to correct this issue. Any suggestions welcomed.

I have fixed this issue. I added the following line to /etc/profile.local

export http_proxy=“http://10.10.1.1:8081/”

then issue

suse_register -a regcode-sles=YourActivationCode -a email=YourEmailAddress -a moniker=YourHostname -L .suse_register.log

All good now

Hi szjtln,

just for the records: The proper place to add a system-wide proxy configuration is “/etc/sysconfig/proxy”…
