Plugin: Jetty Starter 1.6

[wayner]

I know this is a bad practice, but how do you set up Jetty so that there is no username/password required?

I am trying to test out an interface between my Control4 home automation and Sage and currently the Control4 software cannot handle the login and needs to be able to access the Sage web server to send controls using the Sage Web Remote stuff.

I tried commenting out the user/password line in jetty/etc/realms.properties but that didn't seem to work and now I can't log in, at least not until I change back and restart Sage.

in the app's context.xml file set the authentication=true line to = false

[wayner]

For the Sage Web browser (the full one, not mobile) is that nilem_websrv.context.xml or sagewebapp.xml?

And do I have to restart the Sage service or is this update applied on the fly?

the nielm one...

i would think on the fly but someone more knowledgeable then i should confirm...

[Slugger]

Once you save the changes to the context file, Jetty should automatically restart the app, which should apply your changes immediately.

[korben_dallas]

(slugger, stuckless, jreichen) Run as an application on the Jetty web server plugin (deploy as a .war file)

I'm planning on setting up Jetty on my SageTV server, with the point of getting Nielm's Web Interface. However, I don't see anything about a .war file in the installation instructions found here: WebserverInstall

There are 2 versions of the webserver plugin... One that runs on jetty and one that does not....

see here for the jetty one:

See post #96 of that thread from Skirge01. I haven't created a wiki page yet so right now those are the installation instructions.

Edit: thanks Skirge01 (see the following post), I forgot to update this thread

Yes, you have! It's right here. LOL!

Hi and Happy New Year!,

I am having trouble getting the Jetty Java running, I am a Newbie and need tiny steps to get through this if anyone has time. When I down loaded and installed the Jetty Starter 1_6 "3" folders were missing(Lib, Logs, and Static) is this correct? Are these folders created by software at a later point in time? Based on the other post I believe I am adding the line "sagex.jetty.starter.Main" in the correct location as follows: load_at_startup_runnable_classes=sagex.jetty.starter.Main. Is this correct? When I run the application and then check the sage.properties file again the new extension is missing...

Thanks to any kind soul who will help me through this!

[jreichen]

Make sure SageTV is not running when you update Sage.properties. Changes made to the properties file while it's running will be lost when it restarts.

Thanks for reporting the missing folders. It looks like the new build process for 1.6 left them out. Go ahead and create them manually while SageTV is shut down, I don't know for sure whether it will be a problem if they're missing. Here's the complete list:

• contexts
• lib
• log
• static
• webapps

[Tiki]

I know this may seem simple, but could you add some instruction to the basic setup instructions on the Wiki so n00bs know where to find the login username and password for Jetty, and how to test that Jetty has been properly deployed? I did figure it out eventually, but it took some time...

For those who are interested, username and password for the Jetty Webserver are stored in:
jetty/etc/realm.properties


To test the installation, you can login to:

http://localhost:8080/
(this will only work if you are running your web browser on the same computer that is hosting the Jetty Webserver).

http://192.168.0.50:8080/
(replace 192.168.0.50 with the IP address of the computer running the Jetty Webserver).

You should get a 404 Error Page, but it will inlcude a list of valid context links (if you haven't installed any Jetty Apps yet, there will only be one link for "/", otherwise, there should be one link for each Jetty App that is installed).

If you are logging in from outside the local network, you will need to setup port forwarding on your router and you will need a static IP address.

[jreichen]

Thanks for the feedback and for installing Jetty I'll add your suggestions to the wiki. The n00b feedback is the most valuable because it usually includes the things I most take for granted but might not be obvious to others Someday I probably need to clean up my server and start from scratch just to see if the instructions work.

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!

FYI - I just got jetty running on my Windows 7 install. I had to modify the c:\program files\sage tv\sage tv\sagetv.properties file to make it work though. Windows would not allow me to edit and save the properties file directly, it kept giving me access denied errors and brought up the save as dialog box. I copied the file to another location, modified it, and then copied it over the old file. This worked for me.

[Loch]

Sorry if it's off topic, but didn't know where else to put it.

Question for you guys regarding the Jetty package for Sage. Can it be used to run other webapps much like a standard Jetty install? I was looking to use my Sage Server to serve out media using Subsonic as well. I was trying to use their .war file but nothing works. BMT, SRE, SageAlert all run great but I get a 404 on trying to connect to Subsonic using their install sequence. I didn't see the need to run multiple web servers if not necessary. Thanks

[Slugger]

You can run other wars - I do it myself. You will need to create a context file in order to deploy the app. Just copy one of the context files from BMT or SRE or whatever and massage it to work with the war you're trying to deploy. (Just don't make the copy directly in the context dir otherwise Jetty will try to deploy a new app immediately - and fail).

[Loch]

Thanks Slugger. You nailed it. I had tried copying one and then modifying it, but I didn't think about the immediate loading. So I just copied bmt.xml (smallest) to desktop, edited, plopped it back in the dir and now it's loading. Giving me errors on logging in, but that is for a different forum. Thanks for the quick reply.

[GKusnick]

An issue has come up over in the Web Interface for Jetty thread about the use of the temp directory for WAR file deplyoment. The problem is that Windows Disk Cleanup Wizard and similar maintenance tools assume that files in the temp dir are safe to delete. This is not true of WAR deployments; deleting them breaks the associated web app.

Can we get Jetty to do its default deployments to someplace other than the temp dir, so that maintenance tools can run without breaking things? So far I've been manually editing the web app's context file to deploy elsewhere, but this has the unwanted side effect (on Windows) of breaking the hot-deploy feature.

[jreichen]

I'll do some research to see if I can point it to a different default directory. Since the setting is in each app's context file, uptaking any changes is ultimately up to the app developer (myself included for a couple apps) but if I come up with something I'll change the recommended configuration that's documented on the wiki.

[perfessor101]

Hello, I had Jetty working about a year ago ... then it seemed to stop responding ...
I had a few different webapps loaded (SJQ2 and a couple others ...)
I was having NAS issues with tracking all the files I was using as markers so I went back to Dirmon2 (UnRaids speed has much improved since then)

Now with all the FanArt happening I've been looking at getting Jetty 1.6 going again ...

I'm running Windows XP MCE 2005 with the latest updates and SageTV current release

I deleted the jetty directory this morning and reloaded my SageTV directory with the extracted downloads of jettystarter_1_6, sagex.api-6.6.2, phoenix-api-61, metadata-updater-4.0-beta17 and nielm_websrv_jetty_2_26_build49

The latest TV Explorer and sagex seem to be working ok ... don't know if that says Jetty is partially working or not ...

Here's what my logs and a few directories look like

grep -i jetty sagetv_0.txt
