Nielm's webserver works with Linux SageTV

[laurenglenn]

I'm so happy that this works with Sage Linux.

Install Webserver version 1.6 into the /opt/sagetv/app directory

add the plugin line like it says on the website.

Go to http://localhost:8080/sage/Home to see what's recording.

I can't see the drop-down menu to jump to other parts, but you can go to:

http://localhost:8080/sage/RecordingSchedule

to see the recording schedule......

here are 3 more:

http://localhost:8080/sage/EpgGrid

http://localhost:8080/sage/Search

http://localhost:8080/sage/Recordings

Cool (although I am not surprised!)

The only parts of my plugins which will not work well on Linux (working in theory) would be:
The execute external program part of the Dynamic Menu STVI
The execute web browser part of the RSS News STVI
Everything else should be pure OS-independant JAVA or STV code.


Interesting that the menu does not work -- everything should be OS-independant -- can you show the JS errors in Firefox and attach them here pls?
Can you also check the webserver log file in webserver/log/AWS-<date>.log
Can you also try viewing the webserver on the linux server usign a browser on a Windows machine and see if it works there?

Note that windows webserver pages work on linux Firefox (apart from media player), so it is probably a server issue...

[laurenglenn]

Cool!

I attached a PNG file with the errors that showed up along with the two log files.

There's only one computer in my apartment, so I can't really login from another.

But it's fully functional and makes it almost like when I was using Windows where I can run other programs now and not have to jump into the GUI as much.

Now thats just wierd -- all the firefox errors suggest that the output from the different HTTP requests is getting mixed up?!

The Class Not Found errors suggest that you have a newer servlets.properties with either an old nielm_webserver.jar, or some classes in net/sf/sageplugins/*

So should I try erasing the directory and re-extracting 1.6 ? Or is this something that has to be fixed by you?

Thanks,

Well, it looks like you are using a webserver 2.x servlets.properties file with a 1.6 webserver classes...

Probably best to do a reinstall of the webserver... Make sure that you delete all the webserver*, Acme, net/sf/sageplugins/webserver and net/sf/sageplugins/sageutils directories before re-extracting.

(Why 1.6? do the 2.x versions not work?)

By the way, which Sage version is the Linux version?

[laurenglenn]

Thanks!..... The menus showed up now.

I couldn't get v2 to load. It kept giving me an error saying that it could not find the classes.

But 1.6 does work with the menus, which is fine for now.

Thanks again...
Lauren

P.S. Sage Linux version is 4.1.4.1

hmmm.. maybe the linux version does not like the .jar files --
Are there any JARs subdirs of /opt/sagetv/app?
Are there any other .JAR files?
Do you have any logging from the server? If so, does it have a 'classpath=' in it's second line after startup which includes the 2 Jar files that come with the webserver?

Anyway, a workaround for webserver V2
unzip the v2 webserver zip into /opt/sagetv/app as before

cd to /opt/sagetv/app
unzip JARs/nielm_sageutls.jar '*.class'
unzip JARS/nielm_sagewebserver.jar '*.class'
rm JARs/nielm_sageutls.jar JARS/nielm_sagewebserver.jar

This will give you the directory tree of .class files like in 1.6...

Yes. That did it....

I now have a Favorites Manager in the window and the full menus. Thank you.

Sage keeps giving me this error though:

The webserver and SageTV seem to be working very well with no problems. But, I thought you might want to know about this.

Thanks,
Lauren

yep - that error is why HDTV markers are not showing up -- will be fixed tomorrow

Would this be the same for the v6 beta? there doesn't seem to be a /opt/sagetv/app directory. I have /opt/sagetv/server would that be the same? I went through the directions using /opt/sagetv/server instead, but wasn't able to get it to work. I'm using the latest beta for sage linux and the latest webserver files.

[jreichen]

I'm able to run the webserver by extracting the zip download to /opt/sagetv/server. No need to extract the class files separately. The jar files are extracted into the JARs directory and everything else into the webserver directory.

[Kevintimm]

I have everything (as far as i can tell) setup properly but still can't seem to get this thing to work. is there a firewall or something on the linux version? maybe something with gentoo? i added the line in sage.properties file (shows up in system info this confirms it right?) tried just about everything. i dont have a web browser on my server, or if i do i dont know how to get to it. server boots only into sage. i can get to the prompt but thats it. i am trying to open the page from another comp on the lan. should be "http://serverip:8080/sage/home" right? where would i even look for errors? can't find anything in any logs. seems like the webserver isnt even starting. i dont know....

[jreichen]

There shouldn't be a firewall installed.

Did you try 'http://serverip:8080/sage/Home' where Home has an upper case 'H'? That was an issue for a while but I'm not sure if it still is or not.

Here are the settings from my /opt/sagetv/server/Sage.properties. Yours will vary some depending on whether you're using ssl.

nielm/webserver/video_path_translation_file=paths.properties

In the betas, the SageTV debug log is always on and is located at /opt/sagetv/server/sagetv_0.txt. The web server logs are in /opt/sagetv/server/webserver/log.

Here's a trick to just display the only channels you normally watch. In the EPG display, hover your mouse over the link for the channel (e.g., 3-WTKR) and look at the status bar for the browser (the bottom of the screen) (if it doesn't show at the bottom of the browser, try right-clicking and selecting "Properties"). You should see a value like "startchan=11884". Write down that number. Repeat for all of your other favorite channels, then string them together like the example below in an URL for your browser.

http:// 127.0.0.1:8080/sage/EpgGrid?Channels=11884&Channels=11292&Channels=11957

Don't for get to add the amperand between each of the Channels. When you go to that link, you should have a customized EPG display for only the channels you like to watch.

Does anyone else have a problem on the recording detailed information page? Stack trace shown below. The stack appears in the "Stream Original Video" box of the page and prevents the page loading properly which is annoying. Any ideas how to fix it please?

I reported this in the webserver thread. It's fixed in 2.15 but the workaround is easy if you don't want to upgrade.

[garnold]

Why is some of the Jar files are being left out of the webserver updates? after version 2.20
the nielm_sageutls.jar and nielm_sagexmlinfo.jar are not included with the 2.21 and 2.22 versions of the webserver download which caused problems with installing the webserver on my Linux box. To fix the problem I just copied new files from 2.22 server over the 2.20 server and the webserver works now on my sage box.
