Bug Reports: B16Enk's seow_server_v1.0

[IV/JG7_4Shades]

Please use this thread for bug reports and technical discussion of B16Enk's great all-in-one installer for SEOW.

I have a problem with the Uniform Server.
In the mission planner it is not possible to tick the check-boxes in the list of scheduled missions. No error message - just nothing happens!
It is not a problem on the client side as I can tick check boxes on another SEOW-Server from the same client.

This sounds like a Mozilla/Firefox issue. Many people run Firefox with the IETab add-on installed. The trick here is to ensure that your Firefox client uses the IETab to render all MP pages. It may be that you have told Firefox to use IETab for the other SEOW server address, but not for your Uniform server address.

No, this was not the problem. Yes, I am using IE-Tab but until I read your post here, I didn't even know, that I can setup Firefox to open certain addresses automatically with IE-Tab! So I always opened the server pages manually in an "IE-Tab"-Tab.
And even opening the server in original IE doesn't fix my problem.

Cheerio

~S~ Chamel, I'll investigate and report back.

I'm not able to repeat this error at my end.

Using the 'Star of Africa' template:

Map Sector:
Cyrenaica (http://localhost/mp4/Cyrenaica/Cyrenaica_Sector.php)

Created two new missions.
Click 'Scheduled Missions'
Tick boxes enabled and functioning.

Script time out warning is an issue with IE, and this does sound as though the script has not been able to complete.

Perhaps if I could have a copy of the mission you are trying to run?

I will PM you my email address so you can send it, or I can create an ftp account for you.

The Star of Afrika campaign has many mobile units in the template. If you don't want to retain these movements, after loading the template, you can just do a "Remove In Progress" operation with the DCS to clear out the template waypoints. The MP screens will load much faster after that.

Ah..but as it is it's a good 'stress test'.

I think I passed too

I'm at work now, so I can't mail the mission now. But this problem occured on my Server with several different missions - so I am quite sure, that it's not mission related.
And it's not an issue with the script time-out warning. I had to fiddle with these but found a way to avoid them via a registry edit ( http://raf74.net/seow/viewtopic.php?p=663#663 )

I need the server for a LAN party next weekend - so I will probably set up another server installation on my notebook this evening - probably using XAMPP ( http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html ). But anyway the Uniform server project should be continued as it looks like the easiest way for newcomers to set up a server.

XAMP is good, I use it too.

Back to your issue.

What are your security settings in IE for 'Intranet'?

I haven't been able to replicate this on two other systems, both running XP SP2 and IE7.
On the slower machines there is a delay before the boxes become checked, but not an appreciable delay.

[EJGr.Ost_Chamel]

I found the problem ... and as usually, the problem was in front of the monitor.
I had edited the Mp-Head.js file according to Goanna's posting ( http://raf74.net/seow/viewtopic.php?p=5 ... light=#577 ) but somehow I must have done something wrong. Anyway, after installing XAMPP on my machine and copying over the MP-files I found, that the same problem occured under XAMPP too. So I thought about what I had changed and remembered that edit. After replacing the file Mp-Head.js with the original version, everything runs fine now.
Well, so I have now two working WAMP installations on my machine!

Thanks for your patience

B16Enk breathes a huge sigh of relief

I too so often suffer from the problem of a nut loose between keyboard and chair...LOL thanks for the update M8, much appreciated.

The IT guys at work would call that a PICNIC problem - Problem In Chair Not In Computer

Hi there,

Enk's server in its current form does not support InnoDB tables! It's strange, that SEOW runs more or less on this server, but when you call some statistics (I realized the problem when I tried to get a detailed mission statistic), the server won't respond.

I fixed it with the following changes in the InnoDB part of the my-small.cnf file.
Old:

Code: Select all

# Uncomment the following if you are NOT using innodb tables
skip-innodb

# Uncomment the following if you are using Innobase tables
#innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:100M
#innodb_data_home_dir = /usr/local/mysql/data/
#innodb_log_group_home_dir = /usr/local/mysql/data/
#innodb_log_arch_dir = /usr/local/mysql/data/
#set-variable = innodb_mirrored_log_groups=1
#set-variable = innodb_log_files_in_group=3
#set-variable = innodb_log_file_size=5M
#set-variable = innodb_log_buffer_size=8M
#innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=1
#innodb_log_archive=0
#set-variable = innodb_buffer_pool_size=16M
#set-variable = innodb_additional_mem_pool_size=2M
#set-variable = innodb_file_io_threads=4
#set-variable = innodb_lock_wait_timeout=50

New:

Code: Select all

# Uncomment the following if you are NOT using innodb tables
#skip-innodb

# Uncomment the following if you are using Innobase tables
innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:100M
innodb_data_home_dir = /usr/local/mysql/data/
innodb_log_group_home_dir = /usr/local/mysql/data/
innodb_log_arch_dir = /usr/local/mysql/data/
set-variable = innodb_mirrored_log_groups=1
set-variable = innodb_log_files_in_group=3
set-variable = innodb_log_file_size=5M
set-variable = innodb_log_buffer_size=8M
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=1
innodb_log_archive=0
set-variable = innodb_buffer_pool_size=16M
set-variable = innodb_additional_mem_pool_size=2M
set-variable = innodb_file_io_threads=4
set-variable = innodb_lock_wait_timeout=50

I just took the values for the InnoDB parameters as they were in the original file. It's surely possible to optimize these values, but it works like this.

Hmm.

OK lesson learnt!

I will work on getting an update to the server.
