[00:24:08 EST(-0500)] * EricDalquist (n=EricDalq@216.143.72.2) has joined ##uportal
[12:57:48 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok
[12:57:54 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so everything except SVN should be back up
[12:58:49 EST(-0500)] <athena7> once svn is back up, i think i have all the display strings moved from the ajax XSL to messages.xml
[13:13:18 EST(-0500)] <dstn> EricDalquist, wow, rebuild apache? what exactly happened?
[13:13:33 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> apache kept deadlocking the os
[13:13:42 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> thinking it was a bug
[13:13:47 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> or that we were using the wrong mpm
[13:13:51 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so I recompiled it
[13:13:59 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> the svn apache recompile is happening right now
[13:14:02 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> but it takes a long time (sad)
[13:14:34 EST(-0500)] <dstn> hmm, werid
[13:14:36 EST(-0500)] <dstn> weird*
[13:39:39 EST(-0500)] <dstn> sooo I'm having another weird issue with 3.1RC1...the portal manager returns "No channels to display" when I click modify currently publish channel however add content returns with the channel registry just fine...
[13:40:00 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> are you using default data?
[13:40:03 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> or an import?
[13:40:15 EST(-0500)] <dstn> keep in mind this may be a problem with my import but I want to see if there are any issues with channel manager
[13:40:18 EST(-0500)] <dstn> import
[13:40:26 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> you're missing the MANAGE permission
[13:40:29 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> it is new in 3,.1
[13:40:49 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> going to get lunch ....
[13:40:53 EST(-0500)] <dstn> ok thanks
[13:51:47 EST(-0500)] <dstn> EricDalquist, when you get back, I was thinking about the whole "required" things...my thoughts were a script that ran before everything else that ensured that certain entities exist and then a script that ran after to verify that certain entities were properly imported. i.e. that if your version is 3.1 you should have the MANAGE permission
[14:08:14 EST(-0500)] * EricDalquist (n=EricDalq@216.143.72.100) has joined ##uportal
[14:08:58 EST(-0500)] <dstn> or perhaps, the scripts always import the required entities regardless and there is a verification script at the end
[14:09:55 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> just read the logs
[14:09:58 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> good idea dstn
[14:18:55 EST(-0500)] * colinclark (n=colin@216.143.72.2) has joined ##uportal

[15:21:14 EST(-0500)] * colinclark (n=colin@216.143.72.2) has joined ##uportal
[15:21:29 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> svn is fixed
[15:26:17 EST(-0500)] * lennard1 (n=sparhk@216.143.72.100) has joined ##uportal
[15:32:41 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> hey dstn
[15:32:48 EST(-0500)] <dstn> yo
[15:32:55 EST(-0500)] <dstn> svn all better
[15:32:56 EST(-0500)] <dstn> ?
[15:32:58 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yes
[15:33:07 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> can you check your 2.6-export checkout?
[15:33:07 EST(-0500)] <dstn> yay
[15:33:32 EST(-0500)] <dstn> ya, let me just re-check it out
[15:34:49 EST(-0500)] * atpa8a (n=stfu@static-71-249-199-57.nycmny.east.verizon.net) has joined ##uportal
[15:34:54 EST(-0500)] <atpa8a> hmm
[15:34:55 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so are you on 2.6 right now or 2.5?
[15:34:55 EST(-0500)] <atpa8a> hello
[15:34:59 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> hello
[15:35:13 EST(-0500)] <dstn> like what is our portal currently running?
[15:35:13 EST(-0500)] <atpa8a> is svn still down?
[15:35:19 EST(-0500)] <dstn> if so, 2.6
[15:35:31 EST(-0500)] <dstn> atpa8a, no, just came up
[15:35:42 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> it just came back
[15:35:46 EST(-0500)] * dstn is checking stuff out now
[15:35:49 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> dstn: yes ok
[15:35:58 EST(-0500)] <atpa8a> cool
[15:36:01 EST(-0500)] <atpa8a> thanks
[15:37:22 EST(-0500)] <atpa8a> i know this isn't CAS channel but... release is the same as the tag, right?
[15:46:53 EST(-0500)] <dstn> atpa8a, if you are asking if tags are releases...in some cases yes, depends on the tag name
[15:48:47 EST(-0500)] <atpa8a> right
[15:48:53 EST(-0500)] <dstn> EricDalquist, so fresh checkout is still missing those files
[15:49:13 EST(-0500)] <dstn> haven't tried running it yet, let me add those files and try running and see if I get that same NPe
[15:49:19 EST(-0500)] <atpa8a> but the release contains the same source code that -final tag, right?
[15:50:06 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> atpa8a: I would assume so
[15:50:09 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> dstn: ok
[15:50:12 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> what files are missing?
[15:50:52 EST(-0500)] <dstn> so far, lookup-dlm-noderef.crn & load-limited-layout.crn have came to surface
[15:50:58 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok
[15:50:58 EST(-0500)] <dstn> there may be others
[15:51:50 EST(-0500)] <atpa8a> cool
[15:51:51 EST(-0500)] <atpa8a> thanks
[15:56:48 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> dstn: can you try updating, those two files are now in svn
[16:00:18 EST(-0500)] <dstn> EricDalquist, ok, all configured with rdbm, dlm, groups, and svn updated. Still getting the NPE
[16:02:23 EST(-0500)] <dstn> here's the full of it
[16:02:25 EST(-0500)] <dstn> http://uportal.pastebin.com/m237335e6
[16:02:28 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> k
[16:04:02 EST(-0500)] <dstn> it does actually write the .layout file but it's empty
[16:04:08 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[16:04:15 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I'm thinking there is a null value check missing
[16:06:14 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I wish drew were here ....
[16:06:32 EST(-0500)] <dstn> you think it's in cernunnos?
[16:06:38 EST(-0500)] <dstn> or in the script?
[16:06:43 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I think export-layout.crn is returning null
[16:08:29 EST(-0500)] * athena7 (n=athena7@216.143.72.100) has joined ##uportal
[16:09:02 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[16:09:09 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so you get the message "Export Layout: Nothing to expor...."
[16:09:18 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> which means export-layout.crn isn't returning anyting
[16:09:24 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> but drew's code doesn't handle that
[16:10:31 EST(-0500)] <dstn> got ya
[16:16:18 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> dstn: update and try again
[16:18:47 EST(-0500)] <dstn> new error: http://uportal.pastebin.com/m4042f664
[16:19:04 EST(-0500)] * dstn is trying to fine where PREF_ID comes from...
[16:20:22 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> on line 11
[16:20:27 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> of export-preferences.crn
[16:20:30 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> add at the end of the line
[16:20:31 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> , uppep.PREF_ID
[16:25:46 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> any luck dstn ?
[16:26:44 EST(-0500)] <dstn> no, not really, had to add a null check for PORTLET_DATA....it runs but I'm getting empty 0 byte .layout files
[16:27:28 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> where did you do the check?
[16:27:46 EST(-0500)]

<dstn> <with-attribute key="PORTLET_DATA" value="$

Unknown macro: {crn(lookup-dlm-noderef.crn)}

">


[16:27:46 EST(-0500)]

<dstn> <if test="$

Unknown macro: {groovy(PORTLET_DATA != null)}

[16:27:53 EST(-0500)] <dstn> export-preferences.crn
[16:28:00 EST(-0500)] <dstn> 17-18
[16:28:27 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> got ya
[16:28:49 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> but you're just getting 0 byte .layout files ...
[16:28:51 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> hrm
[16:29:25 EST(-0500)] <dstn> INFO User 'reb42' has no non-header/footer structure nodes in their layout.
[16:29:30 EST(-0500)] <dstn> does that mean they don't get exported?
[16:29:35 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah ....
[16:30:02 EST(-0500)] <dstn> k, cause I'm seeing a lot of users fly by I have a small number of .layout files
[16:30:20 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah, you should only get .layout files for users that actually have content in their layout
[16:30:57 EST(-0500)] <dstn> thats good, that's what we want
[16:31:08 EST(-0500)] <dstn> this logging map is verbose
[16:31:11 EST(-0500)] <dstn> lol
[16:31:16 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[16:31:24 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> you can turn that off in commandline-log4j.properties
[16:31:50 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that is in /properties/
[16:31:57 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> but the export is running for layouts right now?
[16:33:10 EST(-0500)] <dstn> ya
[16:33:17 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> great
[16:33:39 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so are you getting 0 byte .layout files for the 'skipped' users?
[16:34:21 EST(-0500)] <dstn> so far, I've only got 2 .layout files total
[16:34:28 EST(-0500)] <dstn> both 0 bytes
[16:34:29 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok
[16:34:32 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> well thats not good
[16:34:36 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> but ok
[16:34:39 EST(-0500)] <dstn> ya, no bueno
[16:34:40 EST(-0500)] <dstn> lol
[16:34:55 EST(-0500)] <dstn> well shoot, I've gotta run. I can look at it tonight and tomorrow morning
[16:35:02 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok
[16:35:10 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> when will you be back on?
[16:35:15 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> just out of curiosity
[16:35:58 EST(-0500)] <dstn> should be on around 8 EST
[16:36:09 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok
[16:36:19 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I'll probably be out at that time but I can check messages
[16:36:25 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and we can work on this again via irc tomorrow
[16:36:26 EST(-0500)] <dstn> k
