CCS5.5 Linux update:Some features could not be installed

Sven,

Shortly after the update started applying changes, it experienced a problem with your network connection. The update program retried each failure three times, but in some cases it still failed to download the content it was looking for. I have not seen this type of failure before. Usually, if there is a network connection or permissions issue, it happens right away and the update is aborted.

I would like to see if there is anything I can learn about your configuration so we can take steps to better detect and recover from this type of problem.  Could you answer these questions?

• Was this a wireless or hard-wired network connection?
• Do you have any other web services running on this computer? Specifically, is anything else using port 80?
• Have you changed the proxy configuration in Eclipse from what is there by default (IE, in the Window -> Option -> Proxy dialog)? 
• Were you aware of any disruptions in network connectivity during the update. For example, if this is a laptop, undocking it could interrupt connectivity temporarily.

Hello AndyW,

• I use a wired network connection
• No, there is no other service listening on port 80 on my computer. I'm using Linux and work as normal user. So I'm not allowed to open a server socket on one of the well known ports (below 1024). Why does the update process try to open a listening tcp socket on port 80?
• No, I do not use a proxy.
• I don't think there were network connectivity problems during the update.

Reinstalling the compiler tools was not successful, because the msp430 compiler tools are not available at the given link.

After performing a clean install of CCS everything works fine.

Thanks

Sven

The reason I was asking about port 80 is I noticed an error message in the log. We use port 80 to do http downloads.

Hello AndyW,

In the log file there are several exceptions like this:

This means that eclipse tried to start the internal web server Jetty. Binding a server socket to a port less than 1024 is forbidden for normal users. So a SocketException is thrown.

But why do you need a HTTP-Server for downloads? For downloads you need a http client!
