Hi together!
I'm trying since about a week to get ConTeXt running as a background
process of a web application.
It's always hanging, and I get no log.
"ps axef" shows the call stack:
\_ /var/www/xxx/bin/python /var/www/xxx/releases/current/cerebrale/
manage.py runfcgi method=threaded ...
\_ /bin/sh -c cd /var/www/xxx/_textemp && /var/opt/context/tex/
texmf-linux-64/bin/context ...
\_ /bin/sh /var/opt/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/context --
purgeall --batchmode --result=/var/www/xxx/_textemp/xxx.pdf
\_ texlua /var/opt/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun
--script context --purgeall --batchmode --result=/ ...
\_ [uname] <defunct>
I.e. it looks like texlua calls uname in a way that lets the process
hang forever.
If I call the same from an active shell everything runs fine. Also
uname alone works in the shell command.
Any ideas what I could/should check?
I don't think it could be the PATH, since ConTeXt's bin as well as
all the system tools are in:
PATH=/var/opt/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin:/var/www/cerebrale/bin:/
command:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/
sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin
TEXMFOS=/var/opt/context/tex/texmf-linux-64
TEXROOT=/var/opt/context/tex
The user that runs the server process (incl. sub-shell and ConTeXt)
owns all the TeX files and the directory.
Maybe it's a Python problem, here's my call:
subprocess.Popen(cmd.encode('utf-8'), shell=True, stderr=logfile,
stdout=logfile)
But I can call several other commands in this way without problems.
The whole thing (incl. ConTeXt) works on my Mac (OSX 10.5.8) at home.
Everything I call before ConTeXt shows up in the logfile.
I tried to call mtxrun directly and replaced the calls to uname -m
with their return value (x86_64).
Now the texlua process itself hangs, even if not "defunct" it doesn't
do anything:
\_ /var/www/xxx/bin/python /var/www/xxx/releases/current/cerebrale/
manage.py runfcgi method=threaded ...
\_ /bin/sh -c cd /var/www/xxx/_textemp && mtxrun --script context
"prd_paket --batchmode --once" PATH=/var/opt/context/tex/texmf-
linux-64/bin:/var/www/xxx/bin:...
\_ texlua /var/opt/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun --
script context prd_paket --batchmode --once TEXMFOS=/var/opt/context/
tex/texmf-linux-64 VIRTUAL_ENV=/var/www/xxx PATH=/var/opt/context/tex/
texmf-linux-64/bin:...
Help?
Greetlings from Lake Constance!
