[SOLVED] Updating problem again. - 500 Internal Server Error

[Ewan]

This problem was solved by running a script when I had the updating problem with Lite 7.4.

I've once again, on two laptops, freshly installed Lite 7.6 and the problem has returned.
Running the same script I used before fails and I'm stuck.  Please, any help on this.

it may be a case that trying a different repository other than Main USA may work.

Instructions are in the deprecated manual.
Click Menu, then 'Help Manual' to open your copy
Click Contents, then Software
Scroll down a little to 'Software Updates by Country' and click on the word Repository.
Follow the instructions there

stevef...........You really are the TOP BANANA!!!!

I followed your instructions to "Software Updates by Country" which took me to a window where Linux offered to scan for updates best suited to my location.  I let it do so and it suggested a UK site.  I then restarted my computer and selected "install updates" and we're now FLYING!  A nice learning curve for me and you've made an old man very happy.
Kindest regards,
Ewan.

Thanks for confirming the outcome.

I can confirm that the server error still comes up today from the main USA repo. Do we know the cause of this? Not used to EU servers being more accessible than US servers.
