Apple working on SUS fix? Test Update in SUS list

I am also having the same issues, no fix from me, but i did trash the html folder from the SUS, and had it rebuilt it, but when all was done, I was presented with the same errors, so don't go rebuilding and downloading 3GB worth of updates, it won't help.

Same error.

Tue Apr 15 15:10:55 servername-domain-com.local swupd_syncd[35272] <Error>: swupd_syncd failed with SUCatalogLoaderException: We've been foiled by the SUCatalogLoader: no local display name. Drat.\n

And now it's working again, for me at least.

same error (also on 10.5.2 server) about 15 minutes after starting the service. No updates have downloaded completely to this machine yet although there is about 7MB of data in /usr/share/swupd/html

Me too, all seems back to 'normal'.
I did have the following error in the log however..
swupd_syncd[62] <Error>: swupd_syncd failed with CantCacheDataException: Couldn't write http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/02/36/061-4589/q9Q23qT4S9T4bVNwHmPhJVGn wJpkXsSN2t/061-4589.sv.dist to /usr/share/swupd/html/content/downloads/02/36/061-4589/q9Q23qT4S9T4bVNwHmPhJVGn wJpkXsSN2t/061-4589.sv.dist.

I dont think I did anything to rectify the situation directly. All permissions looked ok. I ran the software Update in client mode from the Aple and that hinted I had a firmware and safari update that I elected not to do. I'm happy its back and look forward to the next delights... 😉
cheers

As of Fri Apr 18 05:10:57 (GMT +3) all is back to normal.

Safari 3.1.1 downloaded and properly served.

I managed to grab the mirror-config-1.plist file but just not sure where this goes.. if maybe we can find out where this file goes this can be the work around.

I managed to fix this issue. 🙂 What I did was looked in the log for software update server under "Software Update Server Log" and copy and pasted the link "http:// swscan.apple.com/content/meta/mirror-config-1.plist" and pasted that into Safari, once that opened up in safari save that page as a txt file to desktop.. it will save as "mirror-config-1.plist.txt". Once thats done remove the ".txt" from the file name thru file information panel. Open Finder and navigate to /usr/share/swupd/html and place a copy of that mirror-config-1.plist file in here and a copy in /usr/share/swupd/content/catalogs/ then restart the server. All should be well. 🙂

I just got this same error on a fresh install of 10.5.2 Server. I tried machead08's fix but no difference.

In my log, I get exactly:

<Error>: swupd_syncd failed with SUCatalogLoaderException: We've been foiled by the SUCatalogLoader: no local display name. Drat.

...within a few seconds of starting the service.

Again, this is a fresh install that has never worked... so it's got to be something pretty obvious... if only I knew where to look!

Any ideas anyone?

Check your file permissions.

Those of you having this issue... are you on a network where the only web access is via a proxy?

I'm only seeing this on locked down networks. It looks to me like engineering hasn't told swupd to go through web proxy set within the GUI.
