24play1 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Ok, I've been dealing with this for a while now so heres whats going on hopefully I can get a fix On transferring a rar over I had a crc error and installs were not being installed FTP direct produces the same error (corrupt rar) So, I changed the cat5 from server to switch - same result Changed switch port - same result now I've gone as far as changing the machine to a new one - same result Anyone have any ideas?

adamnp Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I would imagine something then is awry in the rar? Did you maybe transfer in ascii mode instead of binary mode at one point? Did the download fail at one point in the beginning? Can you open the RAR normally and extract it fine w/o TCAInstall? If so, try uncompressing and recompressing into a .zip. Normally if a CRC fails on a rar, its bad. There isn't to much you can do. There are a few 'repair' tools, but these usually fail. http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Best/rar-crc-fixing.html Heres a link anywho to some. I'm assuming that its just a bad rar here. Anyone?

24play1 Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 It extracts fine on the fileserver before transfer then either extracting using tcadmin or normal winrar on server after transfer (by either ftp or tca) results in crc error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECF Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Sounds like the file. Try creating a zip of it and use that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECF Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Use a zip program instead of WinRAR to create the zip file. It sounds like the zip file is corupt from the get go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24play1 Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 I did use a zip program As winrar doesn't support filetypes that big if you want a zip output (well so mine said lol) So I downloaded the latest winzip I'm just doing a bit of fault finding now incase its the fileserver itself but we've only ever seen this problem on this 1 IP regardless now it seems of the hardware on the end if that makes any sense keep the ideas flowing ECF theres a solution somewhere am sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamnp Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Haha!, about a 6months ago I was working on a Sparc system and I was having issues installing the SMP enabled version of the kernel, upon trying 20 times I took the $4000 machine and dropped it from my 3rd story balcony. And that was hard to explain to my partner expecting the machine in Seattle a week later...Haha! WOOPS! Needless to say, that replacement ended up being installed by him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
