Re: [Webware-discuss] Recurring AssertionErrors from URLParser.py
Wouldn't you know? This morning, I got another AssertionError... this time from http://ipaddress:8081/. I've turned off the EnableHTTP altogether. Thanks for pointing that out.

Re: [Webware-discuss] Recurring AssertionErrors from URLParser.py
Just to followup. I eventually did upgrade the installation from 0.9.4 to 1.0.2 by installing it alongside the original directory changing the webwareDir config. line inside my app working directory's Launch.py. Unfortunately, this is unrelated to the original problem. -- Here's what I think was happening. The server (somehow) made its way onto a list of open proxy web servers. At that time, Apache2 was configured to be an open proxy... but I didn't know it. So I changed httpd.conf to remove the proxy- related functionality. But that didn't fix the AssertionErrors problem, it merely stopped the server from acting as a proxy. In fact, it caused the number of AssertionErrors to skyrocket from a few per day to approx. 100 in 2 hours. I'd originally had Apache configured with rewrite rules to route normal URLs through the AppServer... (e.g., requests to www.example.com got served through www.example.com/webkit/). Thinking that the unwanted proxy requests were hitting these normal URLs, I removed the rewrite rules. This had no effect on the errors; they kept coming in droves. Upon closer inspection of the emailed AssertionErrors, it appeared that the proxy requests weren't actually hitting any of the VirtualHost domains for that box, but they were explicitly connecting to http://ipaddress:8080/. So it didn't really matter how I had the rewrite rules or virtual hosting configured. Finally, I changed the port number inside my app working directory/ Configs/AppServer.config. Now (at least theoretically), the server's just kicking back 404s to everything connecting to 8080 instead of routing anything through WebKit inducing the AssertionErrors. It'll work for now. If any of you have any suggestions as to a better way to fix the problem, I'd certainly welcome them.

If your're running 0.9.1 or newer, you can simply update Webware itself without any changes in the app work dirs. I recommend moving the old version to /usr/local/Webware.old and then installing the current version as /usr/local/Webware. Then no changes to the working dirs will be needed, and if it does not work as expected, you can easily revert the update. -- Christoph -- ___ Webware-discuss mailing list Webware-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss

What's the best way to upgrade a current installation to the latest version?

Hi Christoph, For each of the domains hosted under this installation, I have: NameVirtualHost [ipaddr]:80 VirtualHost [ipaddr]:80 ServerName [domain].com ServerAlias [domain].com *.[domain].com DocumentRoot /var/www/[domain] /VirtualHost But I also employ a number of rewrite rules (within the VirtualHost directive) for those which primarily use the webkit application server (the wk part of the URL): RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/wk/(.*) /$1 [R] RewriteRule ^/js/(.*) /js/$1 [PT] RewriteRule ^/gfx/(.*) /gfx/$1 [PT] RewriteRule ^/logos/(.*) /logos/$1 [PT] RewriteRule ^/screens/(.*) /screens/$1 [L,PT] RewriteRule ^/(.*) /wk/$1 [L,PT] I killed the application server earlier today to halt the increasing # of emailed tracebacks/errors. I'm surprised nobody has had this happen before. Googling the specific error turns up zero hits. I must be an edge-case.
