#371 fr.wikipedia.org Site not found

[echo0]

Hello,

I just downloaded fr.wikipedia.org and installed it with the files :
Xowa_frwiki_2014-11-24_wiki.7z
Xowa_frwiki_2014-08-04_images_001.7z
Xowa_frwiki_2014-08-04_images_002.7z
Xowa_frwiki_2014-08-04_images_003.7z
Xowa_frwiki_2014-11-24_images_update.7z

When I browse to :
http://localhost:8080/fr.wikipedia.org/
It says Site not found. Check address please, or see console log.
null

If I browse to this address again it will just display a blank page.

xowa is started with the command line :
java -Xmx256m -jar /xowa/xowa_linux.jar --app_mode http_server
the version used is the latest 2.4.2.1

Thanks! I think this is the same as #368 fr.wiktionary.org home page not found . Basically, the HTTP server didn't have code to find the Main Page, so it would behave unpredictably.

I tested now with the v2.4.3 RC, and it works. Let me know if I misunderstood anything above.

If you tested in v2.4.3RC and you were able to use fr.wikipedia.org so indeed it's corrected. Thanks.

Still not working with version 2.4.3.1 : when I browse to http://localhost:8080/fr.wikipedia.org/

HTTP Server started: Navigate to http://localhost:8080

Thanks!!! Based on your report, I did some more investigating, and can confirm this is a bug. In fact, it was serious enough for me to make another build tonight: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xowa/files/v2.4.3.2/

I describe more below. Thanks again for sticking with it!

---

The defect was introduced in v2.4.1.1 with the new .xowa database layout. It required the presence of a folder called fsdb.user. These databases are for saving user-downloaded files. On your system, you're missing /xowa/file/fr.wikipedia.org/fsdb.user. The files at archive.org deliberately omitted these files, because I did not want to distribute files that might overwrite the users.

Unfortunately, v2.4.1.1 requires these files and fails outright if they don't exist. I didn't notice this, because I do have these files (as would any user who was using a version prior to v2.4.1.1). But users who started with v2.4.1.1 and who just downloaded the databases would always fail.

I corrected this in v2.4.3.2 by creating the databases if they don't exist. I tested that the databases do create, and that fr.wikipedia.org loads

Again, thanks a lot!
