was wondering how i could make the opensrf processes sleep. they dont seem to sleep after i restart the evergren system with start_all works but it doesnt work in my startup script which contains the same thing. i am using evergreen 1.2.2 and htis is resulting in my evergreen system not starting .any help On 6/29/09, Nuku Ameyibor nayi...@gmail.com wrote: i was able to make the opac work .i put in some commands inbetween the startup scripts to make the commands sleep in between starting of the router,perl ,opensrf.it made it work.i dont know whether this is a hollistic solution, just wanted to make sure. when i want to however make a hold , the page just goes on and on . that is the progress bar keeps on moving and moving without stopping or giving feedback.any suggestions On 6/29/09, Nuku Ameyibor nayi...@gmail.com wrote: this is the error i was getting :this is from the moziila javascript debug window Error: [Exception...

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] staff clients and virtual images, was Re: forum?
worked perfectly.!!thanks very much . going out for lunch .will come back go through it and get back to you.by the way what would i need to do to remove all pervious data from it and set it up as a fresh installation although i am running it from the vm image.how do i remove all the previous data which is in it. and how would the performance of this image be like seeing as i am running it from a vmware image.

First thing to determine is whether the image is accessible outside of itself. The most recent ones (the VirtualBox ones) definitely are. That means you can point an external web browser to the image's OPAC and get results. If this isn't the case, then you may be able to reconfigure the image and the virtualization software running the image so that it is, or, you could run a staff client from within the image. Assuming external access is possible, then you could take a stock version of the staff client, matching the major release of the EG instance on the image (for example, 1.2.x or 1.4.x), and _force_ the image to support it by setting up a specific symbolic link. For example, let's assume you have a very old vmware image for Evergreen, perhaps this: Server, VMWare image, 1.2.1.4 on Ubuntu 7.10 And the latest 1.2 staff client available for download is for 1.2.4.0. These will not work with each other out of the box. What you can do is install the client, run it, and on the login screen, press the About this client... button. On the screen that pops up, look for the text following Target Server ID:. In this case, it is rel_1_2_4_0. So what is needed is for the server to have a directory or a symbolic link named rel_1_2_4_0, that happens to point to a directory containing remote files for the staff client. For all of these images, you should be able to find what you're needing in the directory /openils/var/web/xul/. So, in the image, from the command-line (in a terminal window), as the Linux user opensrf, you can enter these commands: cd /openils/var/web/xul/ ls -l And look to see what versions of the staff client are supported. In this case, there should be a directory named rel_1_2_1_4. What you would need to do this is create a link to rel_1_2_1_4 from rel_1_2_4_0. Do this by entering: ln -s rel_1_2_1_4 rel_1_2_4_0 Then, if you restart your staff client and point it the IP address for your server image, it should be supported. I think it's likely that future images will come already bundled with an appropriate staff client for download, and not require you to download a client from the Internet.
