Hi prashi89,  
`hab pkg bulkupload` is now the preferred way to bootstrap an on-prem Builder instance. The `on-prem-archive.sh` script has been deprecated.

With regard to the HTTP 405 error, I saw in one of your previous posts that you are utilizing a Builder installed via Chef Automate. If that is the case, you will need to append `/bldr/v1` onto the url, ie. `--url https://yourbuilder.instance.com/bldr/v1`. Also, I happened to notice from the cli output that the `hab` version you are using is a little bit older. Our latest versions of hab are more efficient and hence speedier uploading packages.

We are working to make this situation (using a different url for public Builder or Automate installed version) easier for our users and will be releasing something soon. Please stay tuned! 😀

Hi Jeremy  
you are correct . i can use the url you mentioned . but i am getting difficulty in using old version of hab, same as you mention . if i use old version of hab and doing bulkupload it is giving below error  
☁ Discovering origin names from local artifact cache  
✗✗✗  
✗✗✗ Unrecognized archive format (libarchive err\_code=84)  
✗✗✗

i try to upgrade the hab cli . but no luck . if i upgrade hab cli , this particular service "chef/deployment-service/0.1.0/20200127203210 " is not able to start.

so any correct process to upgrade hab cli ?

That is an odd development with the older hab version because you were able to get further along with the bulkupload earlier. Now it appears to be unable to decompress one of the .hart files, which it didn’t encounter before. This indicates to me that the builder\_bootstrap directory has somehow become polluted or tainted since the contents were first downloaded. Regardless of which version of hab is in use, you will have to resolve this issue first.

What happens if you remove this directory and start over with a fresh download|bulkupload of a minimal package set such as this one: [https://github.com/habitat-sh/on-prem-builder/blob/master/package\_seed\_lists/effortless\_x86\_64-linux\_stable](https://github.com/habitat-sh/on-prem-builder/blob/master/package_seed_lists/effortless_x86_64-linux_stable)?

Glad to hear that your issue is resolved prashi89! 👍

Typically, Automate installation manages its own version of hab and hab-sup for the system(s) on which it is installed. If you wish to utilize different versions for bootstrapping or service management, you would likely need to find alternate system(s) to do that on so that it doesn't interfere with the version(s) required for Automate.
