Hi alan, I also had the same issue, and the same logs. I don't know why but seems that the SUS doesn't has a directory: I have 2 10.7 server and in that one with a working SUS, I have these symbolic links in /var/db/swupd/html/:

the last 3 links are missing, like the corresponding folder /var/db/swupd/html/content/catalogs/. I don't know why they are missing. I made this week a clean installation and this is the result...

Did you find a solution?

Thank you Mark23. I didn't used Profile Manager, because in the previous installation of the same Lion Server OS, I used the same KB to configure clients, and SUS worked fine since the beginning. I can't understand why this time should be different: it miss some symbolic links to witch client seems to point to in the folder ./html/ so yesterday I tried to make them by myself, and the SUS worked. But the question is why SUS didn't built them?

BTW, after SUS was working I've seen the updates that the server provides, wasn't complete: without Lion SUS (using Apple online SUS) I see several updates, like Safari 6

but when I ran the software update from clients pointing it to my server again, it said "You are up to date", and in fact, Lion SUS doesn't had -for example- Safari 6:

Can you help me please?

Here is an Apple KB that explains that there is an Apple Software Update server certificate expiration issue.

"Mac OS X Server administrators who are managing their own Software Update servers should remove all updates signed with the expired certificates and redownload the updates from Apple"
