Hi the environment is Windows 2000 with both the client and James running on the same box and using OE 6. JDK is Sun JDK1.3_06. I will actually be deploying on Linux but it's convenient for me to do quick installs/tests on my win2k box.
Despite the "oddities", I reckon the build I'm now using is good enough for us to get started with and so I have installed on our Linux server and told my own Dev team to go to it. I've also asked them to report any issues so that I can give you feedback. All the best Martin -----Original Message----- From: Noel J. Bergman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 10 January 2003 16:59 To: James Users List Subject: RE: NNTP: Nightly Build available for testing Martin, Thank you for testing. What is your test environment? There is an open bug report when using James' NNTP support on NTFS. I am running the server on linux with Sun JDK 1.4.1. The clients are WinXP with Microsoft Outlook Express 6, Netscape News and Opera 6. -- Martin Woolley @ Jan 10, 2003 5:05 -- > - improved from yesterday but still problems The NNTP code is still experimental, and needs more development work. As long as we're making progress, and can identify precisely remaining issues, that's good. Harmeet is working on an NNTP protocol test, which would help identify protocol errors more clearly than testing with a typical news client. See: http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?JamesNNTP for current known status of the NNTP implementation. > - I am running with the default newsgroups (avalon.dev/user, james.dev/user). OK.

Interesting. I posted to all of my newsgroups, and all of them work. And according to a later note from you, they are now working for you, too? -- Martin Woolley @ Jan 10, 2003 6:37 -- > Retrieving the list of NewsGroups from the server with OE results in"; > 500 Unknown command > Configuration: > Account: localhost > Server: localhost > Protocol: NNTP > Port: 119 > Secure(SSL): 0 > Error Number: 500 > Code: 800ccca2 Would you please go into SAR-INF/environment.xml and change the two NNTP related entries from INFO to DEBUG? :-) I see something similar: 10/01/03 09:46:14 DEBUG nntpserver: Command received: LIST 10/01/03 09:46:15 DEBUG nntpserver: Sent: 215 list of newsgroups follows ... 10/01/03 09:46:15 DEBUG nntpserver: Sent: . 10/01/03 09:46:15 DEBUG nntpserver: Command received: 10/01/03 09:46:15 DEBUG nntpserver: Received unknown command with argument null 10/01/03 09:46:15 DEBUG nntpserver: Sent: 500 Unknown command As you can see, after the LIST command was processed, Outlook Express 6 appears to send a blank command. Neither Opera or Netscape sent that blank command. Outlook Express 6 appears to be the cause of the error, but appears to ignore the error on my system. -- Martin Woolley @ Jan 10, 2003 6:41 -- > If I start using the latest nightly build, is there any risk of message store > compatibility issues when I install later releases? We're not contemplating changing any message store formats for James v2. For James v3, I would certainly hope that the NNTP store will be entirely replaced. The current one is atrocious. -- Martin Woolley @ Jan 10, 2003 6:40 -- > Added another group, which alphabetically appears before the first of the > default groups (the one I cannot see messages in ie avalon.dev).

So does this mean that as of now you are getting messages posted to all of the accounts? Are there any files present in your var/nntp/spool directory? --- Noel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
