[OPEN-ILS-DEV] EG client login error

[Mark Ellis]

Dan and Bill,

Thanks for your responses.

I'm running EG 1.2.1.1 and OpenSRF 0.9 on Ubuntu 7.10 

My client login is now working.  After restarting Apache and rerunning
autogen, things were initially worse.  Srfsh stopped working too, but
it's back as well now.  I'm not quite sure what I did, but your advice
was apparently good.

The link to the My Account section was a javascript:void(0).  I pasted
in a modified  URL from the PINES installation which got me to the My
Account page but login prompt wasn't there--just the header, footer and
sidenav.  Clicking on My Account in the sidenav got me a 404.

Sort of working:
https://eg-server.yourlibrary.ca/opac/en-US/skin/default/xml/myopac.xml?
d=0

Sidenav link (404):
https://eg-server.yourlibrary.ca/opac/en-US/skin/default/xml/myopac/myop
ac.xml

I've had a look at the Apache error log and the only error messages
relate the missing file above--otherwise it's just info and debug
messages.

So, some progress.

Mark

Rereading the original email, the following leaps out at me:

"""setting network_failure_status_string: TypeError:
obj.NETWORK_FAILURE has no properties"""

It sounds to me like the problem is occurring at the gateway (the staff
client and catalogue connect to the Evergreen server via the Apache
gateway, while srfsh connects directly to the Evergreen server via
XMPP). Can you check your Apache error logs to see if there are any
errors turning up there? If the normal catalogue functions work fine,
but logging into My Account fails, perhaps it's the SSL portion of your
Apache config that's the problem.

Also, make sure that you start the Apache server _after_ the OpenSRF
router / perl / c services are already running. If the Apache server is
running before the OpenSRF services start up, then you will have to stop
the Apache server and start it again to make any successful connections.

More info would also be helpful (sorry if this info is in a different
thread, but my memory is limited) - are you running OpenSRF 0.9 with
Evergreen 1.2.1.2, and on which Linux distribution?
