I installed Sandweb 1.0RC2. After a bit of fidling and stuff I managed to
get it running except it doesnt run quite as I expected.
I am running the Sandweb CGI script on the same server as the CVS
repositories.
Thru Sandweb I created a repository item for the CVS repository I wanted to
access, firstly I am confused that I have to enter a Username/Password into
the repository creation fields, why do I have to login as a user and then
specify a repository user aswell ? Anyway I used my login for the
repository, it seemed to accept it.
I went to the Sandbox link expecting to see a list of modules in my
repository, I dont. I enter a module name ('dataset' I know it exists in
the repository) into the appropriate field and click Checkout (with my
repository selected) it opens a new window with the following output
SandWeb : VCS checkout
Current filename(s) : dataset
An error occurred. A call to the shell gave us this error code : 1
The module now appears in the list (even though an error occured). Clicking
the link brings up another window (where the files are supposed to be) but
with no files (and they do exist in the module).
So, it appears its sort of working, but not. Any help anyone ?

Hmm.. last we spoke, I gave you instructions on how to intialize pserver manually. What came of that? You mention here that you are "unable to login as apache", what do you mean? Does "su - www" (or whatever your apache user is) fail? Please send any error messages along. To use SSH, just select it in the repository menu in SandWeb ( I'm confused from the above, are you able to log into SandWeb via the web interface? ). -- Rob |

What kind of fiddling did you have to do (out of curiosity)? We
have some fixes waiting in CVS for the next RC release ( in the
release-1_0-branch), I'm curious to know if it's something new. Please
include what OS/version you are using.

Short answer:
If it's a local repository, username/password isn't really needed.
Long answer:
SandWeb is a multi-user CVS client, capable of using local as well
as remote CVS repositories (authenticated through SSH). SandWeb
uses it's own authentication system that is totally seperate
from any version control system.
Let's say I have :
Server A -- SandWeb server
Server B -- CVS repository server
Server C -- CVS repository server
I can authenticate as many users into SandWeb as I want, but they
will probably need seperate credentials to use the repositories on
Server B and Server C.

SandWeb is a client, it does everything that e.g. the command line "cvs"
does (it actually uses the command line "cvs" to do it's job). What
you are doing is the usual behaviour (e.g. "cvs checkout dataset").
<offtopic>
It would be a neat extension to SandWeb and I would like to
pull a list of modules like this sometime post-1.0 (I've investigated
it, it's kind of a hack if you don't maintain CVSROOT/modules manually
on the server side. But it's doable).
Anyway, if you want a repository browser, I recommend : http://viewcvs.sf.net
I find it quite useful in addition to a CVS client.

Yeah, that's an open bug. It's confusing that an empty module
appears when an error occurs. I hope to have it fixed it before
the next RC release.

Ok, so we got back an error level of "1". Unfortunately that does not
tell us very much :) This error may have come from "cvs" or from
"expect", or something else (maybe the Apache user does not have a
shell?).
Did you read the included INSTALL file, and make sure you have all
needed software? Make sure your repository is set up correctly
in SandWeb (look in the "repository" menu).
Here is how you can really figure out what's going on, if all else
fails :
edit sandweb.cfg (/usr/local/etc/sandweb.cfg by default, but it's
configurable by you at "make install" time)
Turn "debug=0" to "debug=1"
Retry. Send us the output (just copy&paste all text on the error page).
!WARNING! - this debug output contains your password, sanitize it
before you send it :)
HTH,
Rob

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the quick reply.
> What kind of fiddling did you have to do (out of curiosity)?
Well I read the INSTALL and README files and did the fiddling (probably bad
word to use) required to get it installed .. downloaded various Perl
modules, set permissions for 'apache' user, edited 'sandweb.cfg'

It is a local repository, so your saying it doesnt matter what
username/password I use

Where does it 'checkout' to then ?

Read the INSTALL file, followed everything as best I know how to

Exactly. You should select "save password" though, because then it
won't bug you everytime you perform a CVS operation.
Hmm.. this is kind of bad user interface design I think, we should
make those fields "greyed out" if it's a local repository probably..
I'll file a bug on it.

SandWeb maintains a SandWeb user home directory, by default it
is /usr/local/share/sandweb/users (from the output below, you'll
see it's checking out to "/usr/local/share/sandweb/users/stevef/Albury
Computers", where "Albury Computers" is the selected repository and
everything before it is your SandWeb home directory).

Huh.. it's not escaping the space in "Albury Computers".
Hey, can try this :
--
go to repository menu
delete the "Albury Computers" entry (don't worry, this is just a SandWeb
setting, it won't delete the real repo :))
create a new repo, but don't put a space in the name
try to checkout dataset through the sandbox menu
--
Because it's not escaping that space, it's trying to "cd" to
"/usr/local/share/sandweb/users/stevef/Albury", which doesn't exist
( it's "/usr/local/share/sandweb/users/stevef/Albury Computers" ).
Technically this is a SandWeb bug, if this fixes your problem then
I'll fix it in SandWeb...

Hi Rob, Again thanks for the quick reply, your either in my time zone or up late at night !! Removing the space from the rep name fixed the problem, I can now checkout modules and get at the files inside etc. I am however finding it difficult to use since it checks out to the server path '/usr/local/share/sandweb/users/stevef/AC' now, and I know I can download the files thru the browser (individually) but this is a very time consuming operation, downloading each file 1 at time so I can edit them and then presumably upload each 1 at a time. I know Sandweb is not fully released yet but is there anyway to make it download files in bulk or something. This might be a limitation of the browser technique. Fortunately I am using TortoiseCVS for development inhouse, I was wanting to use Sandweb so I could CVS from outside, I have not yet managed to get CVS working over SSH so I thought Sandweb would be a good alternative. Thanks heaps anyway. Steve F |

Probably both :) I'm on the west coast. > Removing the space from the rep name fixed the problem, I can now checkout > modules and get at the files inside etc. Cool. That's really a bug though, spaces should be allowed in the names.

It's a limitation of SandWeb.. we were given a patch that implemented batch uploads/downloads, but it was at an odd place in our release cycle so I was unable to incorporate it :/ ( between Alpha and Beta ). Well, I'm glad you have it working. I really want a batch upload/download feature too, it would make SandWeb so much easier to use. We are in Release Candidate status though, trying to avoid the urge to add new features until our bugs are fixed :) I don't think it'd be too hard though. I'll try to get it in a post-1.0 release.. maybe I will work on it in the trunk. Thanks, Rob |
