| Summary | 0001587: Remote Include Errors | ||||
| Description | I have a url which I was using fine until Unreal core dumped, seems to be the problem with multiple /rehash's so I applied the urlfix.patch. However, now when I start up the ircd I get this error: [error] unrealircd.conf:7: include: error downloading http://URL.REMOVED/servers/retrieve.php?user=REMOVED&pass=REMOVED&file=badwords.conf': Cannot write to tmp/9B8A9127.user> <mode>"; (I've changed the password) I found a way around this is to comment out the include line, start the ircd, uncomment and rehash. This problem is only occuring with that kind of url AFTER it core dumped. Other servers (which have yet to core dump) are working fine with this url, but I've seen examples of this error on two servers now. Plain urls (without &?= in) are working fine still. | ||||
| Additional Information | I have a copy of the core dump if needed, but I think the urlfix.patch applies to this. Using: libcurl/7.11.0 OpenSSL/0.9.7c zlib/1.1.4 FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE-p14 & FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE ReleaseID (1.1.1.1.2.1.2.1.2.2100 2004/02/15 05:06:57) | ||||

Also on remote includes, (unrelated to above bug) I've found that if you take out a url from the config, and remove the old url from the http server, when you /rehash Unreal still tries to download from the url, even though it isn't included anymore. *** Notice -- error: Error downloading http://URL.REMOVED/servers/retrieve.php?user=REMOVED&pass=REMOVED&file=global.conf: The requested URL returned error: 404 It seems that Unreal is reading the config in a weird order so it would try to rehash global.conf and then unrealircd.conf? |

That's because if we don't do it that way, the entire ircd will freeze up while a /rehash occurs. I'll try and think of a way around this but I doubt it will be in 3.2 since it will require some major rewrites. |
|
|
The problem is that the current way of doing it means that it's impossible to rehash the ircd if the url is broken or down or inaccessible, or has simply changed...(because the rehash will fail) |
|
|
As I said, I'll look at it. I understand your concerns. That's not the point, the point is you're presenting a problem, not a solution. Until someone can come up with a solution, there isn't much I can do. I implemented it the way I did because of the simple fact that I could not come up with a better solution. |

[about the original bugreport...] This should be fixed in .2146, I found a zero terminate bug which gave me funny filenames like 'tmp/testinclude.php*á' etc, would only happen with '?' urls. [ http://cvs.ircsystems.net/cgi/viewcvs.cgi/unreal/src/Attic/url.c.diff?r1=1.1.2.12&r2=1.1.2.13&search=None&hideattic=1&only_with_tag=devel ] |

I think I have an idea on how to fix the bug in the bugnote, I'll try and come up with a better way to do it. Basically we'll still have to (try) to download the "old" file, but if it fails it will detect that the file is no longer specified in the config and therefore will just pretend the error never occurred. |
|
|
Ok, all of these problems should now be fixed. Can you update and confirm that? |
|
|
Joolz? :) |
|

I haven't been able to update any of the servers because that would mean knocking ~400 users off the server, whilst we're trying to prove our stability. we're also using urls without '?=&' now. As soon as I can update to test I will do and keep you informed, thanks. |
|
|
ok I'll just assume it's fixed then :). |
