Getting error while uplaoding a package - This node already exists: /etc/packages

[aditya_nayak]

Hi,

I am trying to upload a package in my publisher instance using the API - http://localhost:4503/crx/packmgr/service/.json/?cmd=upload

It is giving me following message - This node already exists: /etc/packages

I am not using any ready made web client like CuRL, but using DOT NET class like HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse.\

I am passing credentials admin/admin while posting the zip.

Let me know on how totrouble shoot this.

Regards,

Provide complete stack trace at error.log file starting from time of upload of package till the failure.

HI Sham,

I am getting following error in the web response:
{"success":false,"msg":"This node already exists: /etc/packages"}

Also, I do not see the error.log file modified with the latest datetime stamp -
D:\AdobeAEM\crx-quickstart\logs\error.log

The publisher instance is now running as a Java VM, i.e. by simply running the cq5-publish-p4503.jar

Let me know if any additional info is helpful.

Regards,
Aditya Nayak

Hi,

I was able to resolve this by passing the credentials as basic authentication in a request header in my post request.
