#09:20:06bshumFun fact, not having any environment paths set for the Mark Lost Item A/T did the trick. No strange perl errors related to that anymore and it looks like we have items with a status of lost and an edit time in the wee early morning when the A/T cron runs.
#09:20:08bshumYay!

#09:32:34bshumOdd side effect
#09:32:45dbwells has quit IRC
#09:33:00bshumIt looks like our A/T for the notice part of it is triggering off each individual item marked lost
#09:33:16bshumAnd sending like 7 copies of the notice to someone, if they have say 7 items that went lost at once.
#09:33:33tsbereSo it isn't grouping?
#09:33:40bshumOr wait, it is grouping
#09:33:45bshumDoh, bad SQl
#09:33:51bshumDisregard, stupid Monday mistake :(

#11:40:12csharpso what is the default behavior when one does not specify an admin-user/admin-pass in the eg-db-config.pl installation step?
#11:40:18csharpis a user created or not?
#11:41:37mmorgan has joined #evergreen
#11:41:54tsberecsharp: User is created. Random username and password.
#11:42:04csharpyikes
#11:42:06csharp;-)
#11:42:20tsbereYou can run it with the admin-user/admin-pass options but none of the create stuff to change those ;)
#11:42:27csharpI guess that would be actor.usr with an id of 1 then
#11:44:27bshumAnybody using virtual library cards like through Card Star?
#11:47:46jeffwe have patrons that use cardstar or similar
#11:48:04jeffwe also asked boopsie about incorporating it into their mobile app
#11:48:43jeffdepending on make/model, we find CCD barcode scanners have better luck than laser-based scanners.
#11:49:11jeffmight also be affected by things like screen protectors, etc, etc.
#11:50:00bshumjeff: That's kind of what we were investigating. Looking into new scanners.
#11:50:31jeffscanner manufacturers are now (in at least one case) listing the ability to scan from a smartphone display as a feature tick on comparison charts.
#11:50:52jeffsorry, though... i don't recall which vendor i saw doing that.
#11:57:20jeffone thing that i've found is that the cardstar "use camera to scan" didn't work well on several of our library cards. it also didn't work well on a handful of store cards i tried, either.
#11:57:34jeffin fact, i couldn't get it to scan any of them. perhaps a bug.
#11:58:37jeffi initially thought the codabar barcodes were just too long to scan reasonably via that method at that range/orientation.

#13:46:51eeevilsomeone crimped our tube

#13:53:08Dyrcona doesn't like having his tube crimped.
#13:53:4618VAAJBCH is now known as Dmagick
#13:53:51tsbere is disliking these "Transaction begin error" uncaught exceptions
#13:53:54dbwells has joined #evergreen
#13:58:15eeevilcutting 2.0.8, wheee!
#14:07:09tsbereDoes anyone know why open-ils.pcrud.transaction.begin would fail so completely that it doesn't even show up in the logs?
#14:07:29eeeviltsbere: not connected to the db?
#14:07:40tsbereSearching works. Logging in works.
#14:08:04eeevilfun ... you mean it doesn't show up in the db log?
#14:08:05tsbereBut I can't even find the point where apache is *asked* to make the call in logs
#14:08:12Dyrcona will be back later.
#14:08:16Dyrcona has left #evergreen
#14:09:05tsbereeeevil: I am getting errors from PermaCrud.js in the staff client without being able to find *any* logs mentioning the call was attempted. :(
#14:09:57tsbereSame code checked out and installed in a dev system I get logs for.
#14:10:18phasefxtsbere: single Apache server? first thing that always come to my mind for any PermaCrud transaction error is different osrfcachetranslator servers defined across multiple apaches
#14:10:57tsberephasefx: Yea. We have a single apache server.
#14:11:33tsbere(it also works on the dev box)
#14:13:25tsbereEverything else appears to be fine. :(
#14:18:55tsberehmmm
#14:19:36tsbere sees responses of 200 then 400 on osrf-http-translator on his test
#14:23:42tsberefor added fun, I can't find evidence that anything *else* in pcrud is failing. Just transaction.begin.

#14:29:52tsbere has quit IRC
#14:29:57tsbere_ is now known as tsbere
#14:41:48csharpI ask this only after many many times installing Evergreen, but...
#14:42:08csharpis there a particular reason why "Listen 443" isn't just commented out by default?
#14:42:12csharpin eg.conf?
#14:42:27tsbereBecause some distros need it?
#14:44:11csharptsbere: fair enough ;-) just wanted the reason if someone knew it
#14:44:44kmlussier has quit IRC
#14:44:45csharptsbere: I was actually wondering earlier, what platform is MVLC running on?
#14:44:53tsbereUbuntu
#14:45:34csharpcool - I wonder how many non-Debuntu production instances we have out there
#14:46:19csharp has switched to Fedora for desktop use, but continues to use the tried and true Debian stable (and sometimes Ubuntu) in server settings
#14:47:57kmlussier has joined #evergreen
#14:49:59jenny has joined #evergreen
#14:52:02bshumPresently, we're doing which? Debian/Ubuntu and fedora mainly for OS supported by community.
#14:52:22bshumIf under those OS, commenting out Listen 443 is a given, maybe Evergreen should ship that way
#14:52:30bshumWith a warning about uncommenting it if your system needs it
#14:52:51kmlussier has quit IRC
#14:52:54bshumThat way we can cut down on one extra step
#14:54:37kmlussier has joined #evergreen

#16:46:31wolf29issue with "Register Patron" pointed to c not working Why would osrf_ctl.sh -a start_c fail?
#16:47:11bshum-l -a , you mean?
#16:47:27bshumAnd perhaps there's some runaway PID goofing you up
#16:47:35wolf29I am specifying my host location, so not -l
#16:48:05wolf29I have my butterfly net.. I can hunt them pids
#16:48:19wolf29Where should I be dumping them?
#16:49:01wolf29I ran osrf_ctl.sh -a smart_clear
#16:49:19wolf29no error mssgs
#16:51:46wolf29should I just stop everything, run clear_pid and restart?
#16:51:57bshumMight be worth trying that.
#16:52:08bshumJust to be sure I guess.
#16:52:34bshumAnd watch the logs to see if there's any indication of what broke and why
#16:52:55bshumThe PIDs are stored wherever opensrf.xml tells them to be, I think.
#16:53:05charltgm_ has quit IRC
#16:54:37wolf29Clearing PID files...
#16:54:39wolf29wc: ]: No such file or directory
#16:54:41wolf29[: 301: missing ]
#16:55:05kmlussier has joined #evergreen
#16:57:23bshumYikes, a barcode in our system with 258 characters. Legit 14 digits, surrounded on both sides with whitespace. Wth? :(
#16:57:26phasefxwolf29: wonder if we're running into some bash-ism's and you're using dash?
#16:57:50wolf29possibly
#16:58:38wolf29how can I tell, or why would what worked last week fail today?
#16:58:53wolf29more dumm questions. :-)
#17:00:11tsberebshum: That barcode might be migrated. <_<
#17:00:17Dyrconawolf29: First, ask yourself, "What changed between now and last week?
#17:00:24bshumtsbere: It's a pre-cat, but maybe....
#17:00:46wolf29users in the field have played with the system... :-)
#17:01:34wolf29I have been working on building an alternative to nfs to share some of the pieces...
#17:01:47wolf29maybe my nsf share is broken (again)
#17:02:30wolf29rpc_pipefs on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)
#17:02:31wolf29192.168.10.33:/openils on /openils type nfs4 (rw,clientaddr=192.168.10.35,addr=192.168.10.33)
#17:03:15wolf29it is all still there
#17:03:36wolf29it fails when the downstream server gets rebooted
#17:08:22kmlussier has quit IRC
#17:11:15wolf29is there any service that can only run on one server in the cluster at a time?, besides the router, which is specified in opensrf.conf - or is it opensrf_core..
#17:17:18phasefxI can't think of such a thing
#17:19:05dbwells has joined #evergreen
#17:19:36wolf29hmm...
#17:20:57wolf29I added my fqdn to the list of hosts in opensrf.xml - before it was running from the internal server address (and working...)
#17:22:45mmorgan has left #evergreen
#17:24:41wolf29I give up, I guess I will work on it tomorrow
#17:25:23wolf29on my webserver, the c stuff has come up, but it is still failing on the server it is supposed to be on
#17:27:03wolf29see ya tomorrow.

#23:42:48jefftsbere: so phasefx was on the right track earlier, even though you had a single apache server? put any thought into making some log noise where you found none?
