Interesting! That is also wrong because 1) the database server might not be the same machine as the web frontend 2) the hostname used in Db.conf might not be the same as the preferred web frontend hostname. For example on the repo.fossology.org cluster, Db.conf uses a private hostname in order to ensure that the db traffic is going over the private network rather than the public. But even if it used the public name, that is not the same as the preferred name of repo.fossology.org. The problem is that the proper url is defined in the apache config. Within the web frontend PHP we use all relative paths to avoid this problem. But here we need to construct the full url and since fo_notify is a command line program, it can't determine the path from the URL it was called with :( > If no one has worked on this, I wouldn't mind changing fo_notify to > accept an optional string that defines the URL prefix (everything up to > the "?").

I wish there was a cleaner way to do it than that, but I can't think of one. It might be useful to have that available for other stuff too. One thing we talked about a long time ago was where should your browser be directed if you click on the fossology logo on the web interface. Maybe this would be helpful for that too. -- Matt Taggart tagg...@fossology.org _______________________________________________ fossology mailing list fossology@fossology.org http://fossology.org/mailman/listinfo/fossology
