Plugin: Jetty Starter 1.6

The mime type API's weren't available in those versions (the plugin now comes with 6.1.19) so I suspect you have old jar files in your classpath.

This was a new clean install of 1.6...

But that was exactly what was wrong.. Not sure how I got the older files..

Thanx

Hi there.

I'm interested in trying out BMT, and as it requires the Jetty plugin, I installed that as well. However, I'm encountering a problem.

I changed the port from the default to 8086.

When I visit it, I get:

Error 404 - Not Found.

No context on this server matched or handled this request.
Contexts known to this server are:
/bmt ---> org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext@141fe06{/bmt,C:\Program Files\SageTV\SageTV\jetty/webapps/bmt.war}
/ ---> org.mortbay.jetty.handler.ContextHandler@150be9{/,file:/C:/Program%20Files/SageTV/SageTV/jetty/static}

When I visit the /bmt directory, I get:

I see a toolbar across the top of the page, then below that, "Phoenix", "Metadata Tools", and "SageTV".

I have not knowingly installed any other Jetty plugins.

In any case, when I visit the page, I am not asked for the user name or password. I then get three pop up messages "Failed to get staus for:" "Phoenix", "Metadata Tools", and "SageTV".

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I get that as well, try shutting down SageTV, going into the Jetty\webapps folder and deleting the bmt folder.

I installed Jetty according to the instruction. I'm simply trying to verify my install was successfull. I don't know what todo with it now that I have it installed, and I don't want to install plugins on top untill i know this step is succesfull.

As of now all I can achieve is the error message below as well.

================================
Error 404 - Not Found.

[evilpenguin]

Yep, you're good to go. For plug-ins i'd start with the webserver as its by far the easiest and most stable.

[woribhabor]

I thought this was a webserver? In anycase what webserver do you speak of? I just did a "webserver" search in the download and don't think i found it.

[evilpenguin]

Sorry, I'm confusing my terminology, SageTV Web Interface...

Hey EP,

Ok. I just tried that and I get the same result. Should I delete the bmt.war file as well?

BTW, I created a jetty/static/index.html page and that got rid of the 404 when going to the jetty root URL.

Does this mean that the Jetty plugin is working correctly and that the issue is with BMT? I'm happy to flip back to that thread if so.

Thanks.

Looks like there were two JARs that I had that were conflicting with BMT.

JARs\metadata-updater-1.16.jar and JARs\sagex.api-6.4.8-11.jar

[jreichen]

Looks like you figured it out yourself. I don't know if you've reported it to stuckless yet but it wouldn't hurt to let him know. He owns both of those jars.

You're not prompted for a login when accessing /bmt because that is configured at the application level, not the server level. Other apps (web interface, mobile web interface, recording extender, etc) are configured to require login. It might move to the server config at some point but that's how Jetty is set up by default (Jetty is a web server written by Mortbay and my plugin embeds it in Sage) and I haven't researched what it would take to change it.

Hi Guys,

I'd like to test out BMI, but I guess I need to install this Jetty app. I'm trying to follow the directions specified at : http://tools.assembla.com/sageplugins/wiki/JettyInstall

I'm totally lost after Step 4.
It says to open up Sage.properties and add some lines, (I think), so I added the lines at the end of the file, an restarted Sage, but I get nothing when trying to access: http://media:8500/bmt/

media is the name of the PC I'm using.
BMT files have already been extracted.

Can someone out there enlighten me?

[jreichen]

That is a little confusing. There should already be a line that starts with

load_at_startup_runnable_classes

. Add

sagex.jetty.starter.Main

after the equals sign. If there are other values to the right of the equals sign already, separate it from them with a semicolon. For example,

load_at_startup_runnable_classes=some.other.value;sagex.jetty.starter.Main

[rdabate]

I'm an @$$!!!

There are two files, one acually named sage.properties (this file was wrong). And then another file called just "Sage", that showed as "properties" for a file type.

So I guess I was looking at the wrong file the whole time.

Thanks

Windows is getting you confused by hiding the file extensions, you can disable that in the folder options menu and that should show you exactly what you need.

I have Jetty installed with BMT and Mobile Webserver working well but would like to take the next step and use SSL. I have stared at the wiki for days now trying to figure out how to make a certificate and use ssl for secure remote access but apparently I don't have it in me. Is there a simple set of instructions somewhere that I am missing that would help me figure this out?

thanks
Doug

[jreichen]

Doug, I was also lost the first time I tried to set up SSL. There are two parts to setting it up: generating a certificate and configuring Jetty. Let's just look at the first one for now.

Generate a certificate
The browser and server use a certificate to encrypt your data. You can generate a certificate by running the keytool command that comes with Java. When you run the keytool command in step 1 on the wiki, it will step you through the prompts as shown in step 2. For personal use, you can use the same password for the key and keystore. The example uses the value 123456 for both passwords. Don't forget the password you choose, you'll need it a little later on. You can leave most of the fields blank except first and last name. If you don't have a domain name, I think you'll still be ok, just enter something else. After finishing the command, a file named .keystore will be created in your home directory.

Try to see if you can get that far. Ask questions if you're stuck. Once you get past this part, we'll move on to configuring SSL in the Jetty server.

Thanks jreichen for the hand holding. I have attached the message that I get when trying to create a certificate from the Sagetv home directory in a command prompt. Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong? Can I put anything in as a password or numerals only?

Thanks for your help
Doug

It can't find Java's keytool program. I'm not positive if it comes in the Java Runtime Edition (the one for end-users) download or if it only comes in the Java Development Kit (the one for developers with the compiler and other tools, also includes the JRE). If you let SageTV install Java, then it installed the Java Runtime Edition. Take a look under C:\Program Files\Java and find out what folders are there and post that list here. Also look in each of those folders for a bin and/or jre\bin folder and see if the keytool program is there. If it is then specify the full path to the program. If not you probably need to install the JDK to get the tool.

I'm a dunce and can't get jetty installed. I followed the directions here:

http://tools.assembla.com/sageplugins/wiki/JettyInstall

and followed the steps one-by-one. I'm installing this on Win7 so I'm assuming that I should be editing sage.properties in the users\myusername\appdata\local\virtualstore\program files\sagetv\sagetv directory rather than c:\program files\sage tv\sage tv\sagetv.properties right? I get a 'The webpage cannot be displayed' error when trying to connect to localhost:8080 . It does try to connect for a while before giving me this error. I did shutdown sage and the service before installing and did restart the service after installing.

I tried setting debug options to on but I can't find sagetv1.txt (or whatever the debug file is called) to check on what is happening behind the scenes. This is a new install so bear with me. Any guidance is much appreciated!

I wish I could be of some help but I haven't used Vista or Win 7 so I'm not familiar with UAC. You might try searching the forums, I know there's been discussion around it and explanation about how it works.
