Ok, attempted to update to 4.0.5 today. Painful (again), and my attempt
failed so I've rolled back to my working 4.0.4-1.
Here's my notes:
Notes on 4.0.5:
1. When searching for sponsor email, takes the first one found. It looks in
SQL, no matter what is specified in the authentication sources. I think
searching the local SQL users DB should be something specified by configuration
(would need a "Local User" or "SQL User" Source).
2. in ./conf/httpd.conf.d/captive-portal-common.pl, line 54 was changed and
this breaks access to sponsor authorization page
("/cgi-perl/email_activation.cgi" on the portal web server). Changing back to
old line 54 fixes this, here's the old line:
<Location ~
"/content/|/activate/email(.*)|/cgi-perl/email_activation.cgi">
3. When I click on the button to authorize a guest, I get this message:
Can't use string ("2") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at
/usr/local/pf/lib/pf/web.pm line 582.
From dinking around with the code, it appears that
"pf::Portal::getInternalSources()" is only returning the scalar context value
of the grep in the return value, not the array. Messed with it, but my perl
foo is very weak.
The fix for #1 was to change the email address on the dummy user I used to make
it possible for 1-click sponsorship acceptance (I had used my email address).
Not sure of a good fix for this, but for now I'll use an invalid email for that
user.
As noted in 2., the fix was to roll back the change to the <Location...> line
in the captive-portal-common.pl in the web config.
Item 3 stumped me. Spent about 4 hours screwing with every combination I could
think of. Clearly this is beyond my current knowledge, so I'll through it back
to the devs. This is related to Jake's last report I think.
For now I'll stay put on 4.0.4.
