Any idea as to what could be wrong? Any useful logs I could look at?

Thanks

Same here... Just updated everything... Jetty, SJQ, SWS, etc...

Thought it was something I did, but then went back and checked... Nope. Looks good here. IE, FF, WM6 IE, all keep requesting User:PWD multiple times...

If you're familiar with the Live HTTP Headers plugin in Firefox you could capture the request and response headers and post them here.

A couple other things you could try:

• Clear the browser's cache
• Delete the browser's cookies

I keep getting a 404 error no matter what I try. I even resaved the sagewebapp.xml file. Any help is appreciated.

Are you using this URL (with your server, notice that's 'sagem', not 'sage')?

http://server:8080/sagem/m/menu.jsp

Try to delete the SAGE_HOME/jetty/webapps/SageWebApp directory then update the sagewebapp.xml file. The war may have been only partially extracted and the directory would be incomplete. If that doesn't work, shut down SageTV and try those steps, then start SageTV.

And if that doesn't work , enable SageTV's debug logging, reproduce the 404 error, and post your log for me to look at.

Is anybody still having trouble with multiple password prompts? If you are, have you tried the things I suggested?

Was I not supposed to delete. the .war file? Because Its not making new files
Edit: it made the files when I loaded the UI, not service....still 404 error...server= my ip, correct?

Nope, that's where all the code is Jetty monitors the contexts folder for changes to files in that folder. The way sagewebapp.xml (and most other SageTV plugins that use Jetty) is set up, if Jetty sees it is new or has changed, it (re)extracts the war file to the subfolder and runs the web app from that folder.

Extract the zip file again and try going to the URL. If it still doesn't work, try some of the steps I suggested before.

I have Web user interface installed. Maybe that is interfering? I'm getting a pink screen, error 404, and it says: "Rogatkin's JWS based on Acme.Serve $Revision: 1.26 $" underneath the error.

That's the problem. Right now nielm's web interface runs in a different web server and Jetty cannot use the same port. Change Jetty's port in JettyStarter.properties and restart SageTV.

I hope to soon support running nielm's web interface in the Jetty web server so everything will run on one port.

I changed it as follows: ........... The default is 8090 and is specified
# in etc/jetty.xml.
jetty.port=8091.......


Would this be correct? I also opened the ports in the firewall, and restarted, but still no luck...now I'm just getting a page timed out error

It sounds like you're trying to use your router's outside IP address. Start by trying to connect directly to your server using its internal IP address, probably something like 192.168.xxx.xxx. So the url would be

http://192.168.xxx.xxx:8091/sagem/m/menu.jsp

Obviously replace the 'xxx' strings with the actual address of your server.

If you enable SageTV's debug logging (so a log file is created) and uncomment the DEBUG= line in JettyStarter.properties then you'll see Jetty's port in the SageTV log.

I don't know about "multiple password prompts," but I can't seem to get past the password prompt. I've tried (what I believe is) the default password found in the realm.properties file but it doesn't seem to work. I am successfully using the BMT web UI so I assume jetty is working correctly.

I've tried clearing browser cache (as suggested) and also tried accessing it from a few different PCs on my network but still no luck.

Any ideas?

Great!

In your router you need to map port 8091 to your SageTV server (192.168.xxx.xxx). Then you need to find out your external IP. Your router's software might have it or you can go to a site like http://www.whatsmyip.org/ to get it. Once you know that, use that IP address in your URL rather than the internal IP you used before.

Once that's working, you can map a domain name to your IP using a service like http://www.dyndns.com. There are many out there, search the thread for nielm's web server - there are several posts about doing this.

Ok, I was able to bring the up the Sage login prompt on my phone, but it just keeps asking for it, won't let me actually login.

What I meant by that was even though you enter the correct user/password (sage/frey by default in the jetty/etc/realm.properties file), Jetty keeps prompting you to enter it again.

Can you clarify a little more how you're using BMT successfully but getting the repeated password prompts?

If you can reproduce it in Firefox, could you install the Live HTTP Headers plugin, go through the repeated password prompts, and post its output here. (Remove your public IP for your privacy if that's in the request/response).

Do you get repeated prompts if you use Firefox with the public IP? If so could you also post Live HTTP Headers output for me to look at?

in BMT's context.xml file there is no line about authentication = true. I've never been prompted for a password with bmt... one could argue that this not correct and is a bug. Before i researched and figured out the user/password in the realm.properties i set authentication = false in the mobilweb and sagealert context files to access them without a user/pass too (not that i would recommend doing this long term).

It works from Firefox, logs right in.
From my phone it just keeps prompting me for username and p/w.

Thanks for the info. I'll check with stuckless about why that is.
