[Hepserver-devel] Cannot get my HEP CVS to work

[Wari W. <wa...@ce...>]

I've gotten hep and the messagging library, install twisted 1.0.4 and 
Lupy and tried out hep on a very fresh copy (No data directory).

After figuring out where to put what, I ran hep-add-user. Typed in the 
username and password, run hep, and hep runs nicely, got to 
localhost:5080 and everything runs fine. This is where the nightmare 
begins :)

I'm not sure what connection means, so I added http://fettig.net as a 
connection (hoping it would auto discover the rss) I'm then greeted with 
tracebacks, basically informing me that hep did not manage to create the 
directory called 
data/users/wari/messages/connections/http%3A/fettig.net/cur/ or 
something like that. So I looked into the source and changed all the 
os.mkdir() to os.makedirs() and that managed to keep hep quiet for a 
while (diff attached). So I go on again, creating a connection at the 
Configuration page, hit the go button, I'm then greeted with a blank 
textbox and a submit button, typed in http://fettig.net again, the 
browser then hangs there. Nevermind, load up the 'messages' page again, 
this time I found the http://fettig.net/ and it loaded the default 
debian page that I have :) Interesting.

Configuration: http://fettig.net/?flav=rss [go], goes back to that 
particular page again where there's one textbox and a submit button. 
Enter http://fettig.net/?flav=rss, the page hangs again, but after 
clicking on the new fettig.net entry in messages, I got your RSS entry, 
thank god for that :).

Subscribe bookmarklet does not work yet, when I try to delete the old 
fettig.net connection I got the page pointing to 
http://localhost:5080/config/config/editconnection and I got the message 
"No such resource" Go I guess I have to delete the connection myself (If 
I know howto).

When I started up hep I got:
Scanner: filled queue ['http://fettig.net', 'cvs', 
'http://roughingit.subtlehints.net/pyblosxom', 
'http://fettig.net/?flav=rss']
HTTP: Connected to http://:80/.
HTTP: Connected to http://:80/.
HTTP: Connected to http://:80/.
HTTP: Connected to http://fettig.net:80/?flav=rss.

Ah, that's what happened to the rest :)

So anyway, the patch is all I am able to contribute right now. Which is 
nothing much. I'm not sure how hep works now :) One thing for sure, it 
definitely looks good now.

PS: I would still like to have the old style of viewing the blog entries 
in reverse chronological order.
