Strange, hey. Ok, I think I've found the culprit. Short story: the demexp server can no longer access is XML database file. Long story: Judging from server error logs, the server can't write to its XML file: http://demexp.org/public-server-logs/demexp-2006-01-06T22:23:40+0100.err Exception Sys_error("Permission denied") caught Exception Sys_error("Permission denied") caught Exception Sys_error("Permission denied") caught My user identifier (uid) on marcos.ras.eu.org has changed recently and the demexp server has been started under my older one. As all the files in my home directory on marcos have been changed to the new uid, the server can no longer access its files for write. When you added a new tag or modified an exisiting one, the XML file is saved and it raised an exception that is caught by the server code, but the connection with the client is closed abruptly (thus the Rpc.Rpc_server(3) error message). Moreover, the server data structures are no longer synchronized with the saved database in XML format. 1. I'm waiting that root on marcos machine kill the server (I cannot do it myself as the process has a different uid); 2. In fact Felix, you've found *two* bugs: - on the client side, I should give a more meaningful error message; - on the server side, I should take into that case and not cut abruptly the connection (or stop the server, I don't know). Best wishes, d. PS for Felix: you'll lose all the modification on the server you tried to accomplish. -- pub 1024D/A3AD7A2A 2004-10-03 David MENTRE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 5996 CC46 4612 9CA4 3562 D7AC 6C67 9E96 A3AD 7A2A _______________________________________________ Demexp-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/demexp-dev
