Hi!

I have problem with update using help->Check for updates. Program returns message box with:
HTTP 500 (InternalServerError)
I have tried update several times, but every time PDN returns this error.

I'm using 3.0 RC 1 release.
The same problem i had with PDN 3.0 Beta 2 and Beta 3 release.

This is not about my firewall (Kerio 4.x), because its turning off does not help.
Any ideas how to check for updates with PDN?

best regards,
Szymon Belus

Is there no solution for this problem? Maybe you will need some additional information, which I can get?
Please write me what you need to solve this problem.

Yes. I do that, but when update worked, I clicked once and I have new version. Now I have to uninstall previous version, download newest one and finally install it. That takes much more time.
I am wondering why this error occurs.

You don't have to uninstall before installing the new version, it handles that automatically.

In fact you can just run the installer with the /skipConfig command-line parameter to have it do exactly the same thing that the auto-update does. That is, it doesn't ask you any questions, you don't have to accept the license agreement (because you already have in the update scenario!), it just installs it.

As for the HTTP 500 error: I don't know. I haven't seen it myself. Your two reports are the only ones that I know of. The server that the updates are coming from is a large mirror network managed by BetaNews.

In any case I've reported this to the BetaNews guys, hopefully the problem will be gone if it isn't already!

Check this out:

http://www.checkupdown.com/status/E500.html <----explains what HTTP 500 is

Its an internal(your server) server restriction or error. Its probably not BetaNews.

The site could of been down for a bit or you could have a setting wrong in your firewall or router.

Well then may I ask a few questions ?.

Have you turned of the builded in firewall for windows and tryed to update ?

Do you have all of the windows updates as they often fix bugs in windows ?, If not you should go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

Are you using a router ? If so do you have the router internal firewall setup right ? (Belive it or not most people don't even know that there routers have there own firewalls inside of them)

Do you have an up to date web browser ?. I know IE is now using IE: 7.

Notice they are all coming from Poland, and I've seen similar (Polish) issues in previous posts too.
FYI.
