Subject: Witango-Talk: New WiTango
Install Problem - user scope variables disappear
I'm running a new install of WiTango 5 and am
having a strange intermittent problem.
Every now and then the user scope variables
seem to disappear and the page does not function correctly. If I
refresh they will often reappear. I haven't really found any rhyme or
reason for when this happens.
Here is a WiTango Debug portion of the page
when it works correctly:
[Application File] [176] START /ebay/survey.taf
Witango_Server_5 _function=nextq A1=1 c_Scale_Boolean=0 Next_Q_id=2
Previous_Q_id=1 Submit=Next Total Length of Postargs: 62
[user$
Vars] [177] DaveNextQ=1; variableTimeout=30; Seperated_string_array=;
No_Q_Left=0; MSCF=[Object: 0217FDC8]; Survey_id=172; aPrefix=<TABLE
BORDER="0">; Survey_idExists=1; User_id=-3927; starting_question=1;
[If Action] [177] If_survey_has_started
[Results Action] [177]
All_pages_header
When the page fails the top of the debug looks
like this:
[Application File] [185] START /ebay/survey.taf
Witango_Server_5 _function=nextq A1=1 c_Scale_Boolean=0 Next_Q_id=2
Previous_Q_id=1 Submit=Next Total Length of Postargs: 62
[If
Action] [185] If_survey_has_started
[Else Action] [186]
Else_innit_and_start_the_survey
Notice that the [user$ Vars] section is
missing? Those variables don't seem to exist all of a sudden and the
page misbehaves.
We've been running Tango 2000 on this machine
(W2000 Server service pack 3) just fine - this just started happening with
the upgrade. I did change the default scope for variables from
'request' to 'user' to be backward compatible with existing .tafs. I
also still have Tango 2000 installed on the machine (I've had to switch
back).
Any ideas?
