RE: [viewvc-users] tarball link dowload giving zerobyte tar file

Hi Michael,

 

Am very sorry for the delay in replying to the mail.

 

I checked the logs. The error that’s coming is as follows:

[Wed Feb 24 10:23:20 2010] [warn] mod_python (pid=7448,
interpreter='gforge-test.am.freescale.net'): Module directory listed in
"sys.path". This may cause problems. Please check code. File being
imported is "/opt/tools/viewvc-1.0.5/bin/mod_python/viewvc_cgi.py".

[Wed Feb 24 10:23:20 2010] [notice] mod_python (pid=7448,
interpreter='gforge-test.am.freescale.net'): Importing module
'/opt/tools/viewvc-1.0.5/bin/mod_python/viewvc_cgi.py'

 

Thank you

Thanks for sharing the version number. You are correct that that version
does support the 'allow_tar' option. What you are seeing is consistent
with 
something going wrong not at configuration time, but at tarball
generation time. 

You have not, however, answered my second question. Your web server
(which 
I assume is Apache) has a log file devoted to errors (somewhere like 
log/error_log). Is anything written to that file when tarball requests
are 
served by ViewVC on your server? Sometimes Apache will record a whole 
Python stacktrace in that file -- that's really useful information if
it's 
available.
