[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Install hiccups: blank webpages and a bumrouter

[Dan Wells]

Ed,

Sorry to hear of your problems with Ubuntu 7.04 on Virtual PC.  For what it's worth, I have had good luck with VMWare.

If you decide to keep troubleshooting 6.xx, maybe you still need to do:
sudo a2enmod cache
as well.

The disk cache module depends on the cache module.  When I do sudo a2enmod disk_cache on 7, it automatically loads 'cache' as well.  The apache version on 6.xx may not be as kind.  Also, if disk_cache was in fact not loaded (not totally sure), maybe other modules are missing too?  Here is the whole list from step 21 in the Ubuntu wiki page:
Enable the needed apache2 modules:
sudo a2enmod deflate
sudo a2enmod expires
sudo a2enmod include
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo a2enmod ssl
sudo a2enmod proxy
sudo a2enmod disk_cache

I rolled back to Ubuntu 6 after running into Ubuntu 7's
no-mouse-movement-under-Virtual PC bug.  

Tried loading the module and got:

evergreen-admin at eg-server:/openils/bin$ sudo a2enmod disk_cache
Password:
Module disk_cache installed; run /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload to
enable.
evergreen-admin at eg-server:/openils/bin$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2
force-reload
 * Forcing reload of apache 2.0 web server...        Syntax error on
line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/disk_cache.load:
Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_disk_cache.so into server:
/usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_disk_cache.so: undefined symbol:
ap_cache_cacheable_hdrs_out

[fail]


Bleh. This is making me re-think the idea of starting over with 7.

Thanks!

Ed

Hello Ed,

For starters, I will be interested to see if you are able to get Ubuntu
6.xx to work.  I beat my head against it for a long time before moving
to 7.xx.  From what I recall, 6.xx had some erlang issues related to
encryption or something which prevented ejabberd from functioning
correctly.  It is hard to recall; all I really remember at this point is
the pain :-)  What else can I say but that you have been warned.

Assuming that those issues may have since been fixed somewhere or
somehow, I will try to answer your two questions.  The Ubuntu
instructions specify that you run:
sudo a2enmod disk_cache
This command should load both the disk_cache module and the base 'cache'
module.  Maybe this instruction got skipped, maybe your version of
Apache doesn't support the Cache* directives, or maybe your version of
Apache doesn't automatically load module dependencies.  My guess is on
#2, but you could try this anyway:
sudo a2enmod cache
and see what happens.  If it says the module is already loaded, then I
would just leave the directives commented (for now anyway).

For your router problem, the first thing I am going to suggest is that
your machine names be checked for consistency.  Your urls say
'mynewegmachine' yet your router is being sought on 'eg-server'.  Maybe
these differences are just some partial email sanitization at work, but
we have to start the troubleshooting somewhere.  If this is the wrong
tree to bark up, sending along your config files and logs is usually the
next step.  If you are unsure how to do this, here are some basic
instructions:
http://www.open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=scratchpad:dmcmorris:start# 
config_log_zip-up .  If your logs have grown too large to send, stop
Evergreen, delete/move the logs, then start it up again.

Good luck,
DW

I'm following along with the (absolutely awesome) Ubuntu installation
instructions, with a couple of detours since I'm running v.6 instead of
v.7 (the main one being that I had to install libmemcache from source).

I've gotten as far as bringing up OpenILS (seems to start okay).  When
starting Apache, I got:

Syntax error on line 73 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/eg.conf:
Invalid command 'CacheStorePrivate', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a
module not included in the server configuration

I went ahead and commented out the image caching stanzas in eg.conf, and
that seemed to shut Apache up.


However, when I go to http://mynewegmachine to see the fruits of my
labors, I just get:

XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: http://mynewegmachine/opac/en-US/skin/default/xml/index.xml 
Line Number 1, Column 1:

Attempting to go to config.cgi (step 25) returns only a blank screen.


I then tried to finalize the opac using the autogen script, but I found
something even more disturbing:

Updating fieldmapper
  * ! EXCEPTION ! *
TYPE: OpenSRF::EX::Session
Mess: Session Error
Mess: router at eg-server/opensrf.settings IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE
NETWORK!!!
Loc.: 103 OpenSRF::Utils::SettingsClient
Loc.: /openils/lib/perl5/OpenSRF/Utils/SettingsClient.pm
Time: Wed Jun 13 10:00:00 2007
(and the same for web_fieldmapper, OrgTree and OrgTree HTML)

So I have two issues:

1) What the heck is going on with Apache?
2) Is the opensrf router connecting?  If not, where do I start with
troubleshooting?


Thanks!
