You can find in this package the page, its backend, its api and the error. That says that ther is a close brace bu this close brace is not missing. Can somebody help me? I would like to say that this page was working well on an other httpd (tcl) that I cannot use now :).

Thibault Fouache 2008-11-27T17:26:52 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.aolserver/15390 I'm trying to set up an ns_register_proc to redirect requests to what used to be a separate website that now points to mine to a directory on my site. (The client does not want to use a virtual server.) My plan is to test the host of the connection and ns_returnredirect if it matches the formerly-separate host. The docs at: http://panoptic.com/wiki/aolserver/Ns_register_proc say "The conn argument will be filled automatically with the connection information." so I expected it to be an ns_set or array, but it does not seem to be. It contains "cns0" on the first use after a server restart, then "cns1", "cns2" on following uses. Can someone give me a hint how to use the conn argument in: ns_register_proc GET /* misaEast AAA BBB proc misaEast { conn {arg1 one} {arg2 two} } { ... } I've also tried using [ns_conn host] within the proc but it just returns "". Other ns_conn options, including url and location, return the expected values. Is there a way around this?

The code iterates over all the sockets waiting for I/O events and prints out some info about the socket and the associated conn via NsAppendConn(sockPtr->connPtr). It turns out that if the sock is in SOCK_CLOSEWAIT state, the connection associated with the sock has already been freed, so the NsAppendConn call blows up. I can reproduce the crash by logging into the nscp port and calling ns_driver query over and over on a lightly loaded development server. Here is a patch that just puts an empty list where the connection info would be in the case that the conn is null. Does it look ok? --- driver.c.orig2008-11-07 17:17:36.000000000 +0000 +++ driver.c2008-11-07 17:20:33.000000000 +0000 < at >< at > -1328,7 +1328,12 < at >< at > pdata.pfds[sockPtr->pidx].revents, sockPtr->acceptTime.sec, sockPtr->acceptTime.usec, sockPtr->timeout.sec, sockPtr->timeout.usec); - NsAppendConn(drvPtr->queryPtr, sockPtr->connPtr, Andrew Steets 2008-11-07T17:38:59 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.aolserver/15370 Hello list, We would very much like to use an organizational wildcard cert with Aolserver which contains a passphrase and is owned/managed by the org's web group. Typically, the web group logs into servers (Windows IIS or Apache is what they support) and "installs" the certificate once and then again whenever the certificate is renewed. Although this is not my area of expertise, my understanding is that these other platforms utilize a key store. I've asked around a bit within the community and so far, the only suggestion has been to have the group copy the cert to our server and strip the passphrase out via openssl. I'm uncertain whether the group owning the cert will go along with this process so I thought I'd ask the list if there is any other way to handle this situation? Thanks, Michael Michael Steigman 2008-10-31T22:46:05 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.aolserver/15369 Hi, I am wondering what is causing the error "error writing sock#: broken pipe". I am sure my box is able to post to the youtube upload page because youtube throws an error when I set the contents of my video file to an empty string. (The video file I am using is a small 187kb file.) If I set the contents to the video file though, I get the broken pipe error. Code is attached. This is on aolserver 40r10. TCL 8.4.13. Jeff Lu 2008-10-31T04:30:43 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.aolserver/15361 Hello Everyone, We are running multiple instances of AOLserver on different machines, and I am enjoying the reload functionality to reload the proc libraries using ns_eval source {fileName} in each one of them... However, one of the AOLservers crashes after few minutes from the reload. The strange thing is that this is the only AOLserver that crashes, while others don't!!! and I noticed that just before the crash, the following error happens (which means something in the C breaks, and I am assuming that it could be in the TCL interpter, Curently tcl 8.4.16 ( not AOLserver...But this is only an assumption): "called Tcl_CreateHashEntry on deleted table" We use this server to serve multiple domains and have a pound load balancer in the front , For example if the request comes for www.xyz.com we serve xyz service related site and contents and if the request comes for www.abc.com we serve abc related contents and site.

See http://www.tcl.tk/community/tcl2008/ for details on the tutorial. Three hours is not a lot of time, particularly since I want the tutorial to be hands-on/interactive/your-buzzword-here and I am interested in hearing what people think are the "can't be skipped" topics. For example, one of the most important topics (IMNSHO) is showing the power of actually scripting configuration using Tcl (as opposed to configuring with key-value entries). But configuring AOLserver is a big area, what in particular shouldn't be missed? How important would you find a simple example of writing an extension module? What about nscp? etc, etc. Thanks, Matt Matthew M. Burke 2008-09-25T16:36:31 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.aolserver/15342 Everyone, The AOLserver.com website is having some database connectivity problems. I have opened a support ticket at SourceForge, but their response has been underwhelming. I am seriously questioning why I continue to pay the $39/year "subscriber" fee for this "priority" support. If things continue to get worse at SourceForge, how do folks feel about moving the project hosting elsewhere? Personally, I really like Launchpad. What is everyone's thought on it, vs. other suggestions? Dossy Shiobara 2008-09-19T18:56:18 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.aolserver/15341 Is there an 4.x version of AOLserver that supports byte range requests like aolserver 3.3+ad13 did? If so, is there some configuration parameter to enable it? I'm working on a online video application, and I'd like to be able to do a couple of things: 1. Serve videos to my iPod Touch, which requires a web server that supports byte-range requests 2. Serve videos from the same server as my web app (built on top of OpenACS), so that I can enable/restrict access to those videos on a per user basis. Right now I'm using Darwin Streaming Server to stream the videos, but I can't restrict access to those streams by individual user. I like the streaming server, since it allows for seekable video, which is also why I'm looking for byte-range request support. I suppose I could downgrade to 3.3+ad13, but I'd rather stay with the 4.x series if possible. Dave David Hwang 2008-09-18T20:32:07 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.aolserver/15338 Hello! In page http://dev.aolserver.com/wiki/Ns_adp_parse is writed "If you specify the -safe flag, then only registered tags are executed; inline scripts using "<% ... %>" or "<%= ... %>" are ignored." I'm try to using ns_adp_parse -file -safe $fname and <% ... %> sections are executed! It's very unsecure for me. What can I do? I'm using AOLServer 4.0.10-7 from debian etch. Best regards, Alexey. Alexey Pechnikov 2008-09-05T11:19:06 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.aolserver/15335 Hi, I've been trying to get aolserver to run on Valgrind for a week now and it does work to a certain extent. My Aolserver interfaces with Oracle databases and my problem is that when I do run aolserver on valgrind and nsoracle driver attempts to connect to Oracle, I get a OCIServerAttach ()': ORA-12546: TNS: Permission Denied error. I'm not sure why it's doing this. It works fine without valgrind. I've even set my permissions bits on oracle binary as rwsrwsrwx. It's still not working. I need help, please. :( I don't know where to look. Thanks. Sep Sep Ng 2008-09-02T01:14:37 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.aolserver/15331 Hi all, If I Ns_Log() the data in a (char *) I can clearly see that it contains newlines, and I can also verify that it contains nulls with memchr. I have tried any number of ways to turn it into a tcl object, eg: objPtr = Tcl_NewByteArrayObj(str, length); or objPtr = Tcl_NewObj(); Tcl_AppendToObj(objPtr, str, length); or objPtr = Tcl_NewStringObj(str, length); etc. this is then set as the result object, and control returns to the tcl code. Whether the tcl code then does an ns_log, ns_return (which I know isn't supposed to be binary safe) or ns_write, i get all the newlines converted into \n (ie. two characters \ then n) and chunks of binary get converted to unicode characters. I can see from Tcl_AppendToObj that that is supposed to happen there, but how can I output a byte array object without it being converted to utf8? Any help appreciated - this is driving me nuts :) Mark Aufflick 2008-08-28T08:50:09 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.aolserver/15328 Hi all, Researching the use of ns_ldap in OpenACS it seems that the version of ns_ldap in wide use is http://www.sussdorff.de/resources/nsldap.tgz which seems to have additional support for ldap bind (note I am not an LDAP expert so forgive me if I'm using the wrong lingo). The diff is pasted below. Should this be committed to the tree? diff -r nsldap/nsldap.c nsldap-sussdorf/nsldap.c 1373a1374 1796a1798,1820 diff -r nsldap/README nsldap-sussdorf/README 186a187,191 Mark Aufflick 2008-08-24T10:53:50 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.aolserver/15327 Hi, Ipv6 is becoming more important, with only only a few years of ipv4 address space left and governments starting to require it when doing business with them. I'm running ipv6 myself for a while now, but my webservers are still ipv4 only, because they run ipv4. So, I wrote a patch, downloadable here: http://www.freepascal.org/~daniel/aolserver-ipv6support.diff ... it applies against AOLserver-cvs. After applying the patch, AOLserver uses AF_INET6 rather than AF_INET. While of course, experimental, AOLserver seems to serve pages perfectly fine on both ipv4 and ipv6, with no impact on configuration files, or TCL code. Everywhere you could use an ipv4 address before, it now simply accepts both. Daniël Daniël Mantione 2008-08-23T15:18:50 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.aolserver/15227 Consider the following pseudocode snippet: <<...generate file $myfile in some way...>> ns_returnfile 200 text/plain $myfile ns_unlink $myfile If this snippet is executed in a tight loop on a Linux system, the chances of returning the wrong results are very high due to AOLserver's fastpath caching, which requires the following four attributes to be identical to consider a new file to be a cache hit (as per the FastReturn function in fastpath.c): 1) Same device number 2) Same inode number 3) Same modification time (within one second) 4) Same size Assuming $myfile is always on the same filesystem, number 1 is taken care of, and Linux reuses inode numbers, so the creation and deletion of $myfile will typically result in a file with the same inode. So in this example, files created within a given second that contains the same amount of data as a preceding file created within that same second will be considered identical, and will be erroneously served from cache. This isn't just a hy John Caruso 2008-08-18T19:33:56 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.aolserver/15226 Just noticed that bookmooch is #6 on the reddit homepage. I seem to recall that bookmooch was running aolserver backed by bdb on just one or two servers - is that still the case? What I was wondering more of course is if there was any notable traffic spike from the reddit mention and if aolserver handled any spike without problems. -J Jeff Rogers 2008-08-01T01:55:13 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.aolserver/15225 Hi all, Just a short FYI that the upcoming Tcl conference will have tutorial sessions that include AOLServer and OpenACS tutorials. I'm forwarding along this short note from the conference chair: AOLServer and Tcl classes available in Virginia Training sessions for AOLServer and Tcl will be offered at the annual Tcl/Tk Conference being held in Manassas, Virginia, October 20-24. The classes are taught by industry experts and professional educators. Conference membership is not required to attend a tutorial. Details at: http://www.tcl.tk/community/tcl2008 I hope to see some of you there. Regards, Jeff Jeff Hobbs 2008-07-23T17:00:52 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.aolserver/15209 Hey all! I've recently added a custom server error message using a redirect in AOLserver's config file. Since then, I've been occasionally seeing the following error in the logs: [09/Jul/2008:18:04:08][30505.1690512][-conn:1-] Error: return: failed to redirect 'PROPFIND /500.html': exceeded recursion limit of 3 There will be several thousand of those entries in a row, followed by a server crash. I don't see anything in the logs to indicate what may have initiated the error in the first place. And the entries continue even after the server reboots. At first, I thought there might be an error in the server error page itself, so I switched it from being a dynamically generated page to being a static HTML file, which goes through no filtering, but that didn't solve the problem. Does anyone have any thoughts on what might be going on? Thanks! -Scott William Scott Jordan 2008-07-10T02:15:25 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.aolserver/15208 Did the method of specify the max upload size change in 4.5? 4.0.x was "ns_param maxinput [expr 1024 * 1024 * 1024]" Jay Jay Rohr 2008-07-10T01:10:42 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.aolserver/15202 Hi all, I'm attempting to get PHP working with Aolserver 4.5 as a workaround in a time crunch here. OS is RHEL 4. I compiled PHP5 in a VM that is basically identical to my production server and it worked like a charm. On the production box, however, the script produces no output and the response headers say "500 internal server error". There is nothing in the error log (debugging turned on). For the sake of it, I tried PHP4; again, it compiled just fine and loads OK at server startup but no output. This time I got a "200 OK" message in the response headers, though. Nothing in the logs again. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to troubleshoot this? Thanks in advance.
