Re: [RDD] rdimport error invalid url Rivendell 2.1.0 on Ubuntu 11.10
Ubuntu is /usr/local/libexec (or at least thats what works for me). Once you have that double check you've copied across a working rd-bin.conf. You should have that file inside /etc/apache2/conf.d/rd-bin.conf The important lines are line 23 which should read: Directory /usr/local/libexec and line 50: ScriptAlias /rd-bin/ /usr/local/libexec/ If the files not there check your sources it should be inside source_dir/conf.

I have run into this problem with Rivendell under Ubuntu. I was able to fix the problem after reading this: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.radio.rivendell.user/861 I got the 500 unable to set rivendel group until I changed permissions on rdxport.cgi. The solution listed used chown root:root rdxport.cgi with a setuid of 4755. Worked for me.

If you're not, then /etc/hosts is what will be queried first. ( also, before DNS is running, or if a DNS server can't be reached ) What is an FQDN ? It is the full name of the host machine as it would resolve in DNS. It generally consists of four parts. the fourth part is the hostname of the machine, such as myhost the third part, the lower level domain, such as myhost.example the top level domain in which the example sub-domain exists, such as myhost.example.com and firstly, ( usually left off and assumed by DNS ) the root domain, represented by the blank label after the dot after com. ( because everything is below the root domain, and the standard allows leaving off the domain name *if* the search is confined to within your domain ) In DNS, the FQDN would be myhost.example.com.

The machine should assume whatever domain is in /etc/networks or in /etc/HOSTNAME Generally, the machine won't complain, but some apps will. also, what is this line for? ::1localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6 it was in there from the default.

Okay sorry I misread the messages.

Urgh I feel this world was not supposed to invent money in the first place. Anyway, I will wait... it appears with my ISP I will have to delay my plans with my station anyway.

Re: [RDD] rdimport error invalid url Rivendell 2.1.0 on Ubuntu 11.10
Well, okay, let's start working this one out instead of getting all sidelined. We're volunteers and as a community we should just get on with this, eh? I know the no-money feeling (my desktop PC just died, now looking at £1k to get a new one sorted out). So - check /var/log/syslog.log, /var/log/daemons.log for any issues. For added points, do this: * Shut down rivendell daemons, apache2 and any open applications (sudo service rivendell stop; sudo service apache2 stop;) * Start up the daemons, apache2, and rdlibrary. * Grab a 'ps faux' at this point, and 'tail -n 1500 /var/log/syslog.log' (and again for daemons.log) * Import a file * Grab the two logs again * Upload everything to http://pastie.org or http://gist.github.com (the latter does multiple files better - make sure you label each appropriately as before/after) You could also check /var/log/apache2/error.log (I think - doing this all off memory!), just grab that afterwards. Armed with that info we can probably make some progress here. (The root issue is that Rivendell isn't very good at being specific about errors with this stuff - I have some spare time this week and might submit a patch to improve things here) James On 17/12/11 16:17, Patrick Schmalstig / WRRJ Radio wrote: Okay sorry I misread the messages.

Re: [RDD] rdimport error invalid url Rivendell 2.1.0 on Ubuntu 11.10
Patrick, It's not that we don't want to help. That's what this whole mail list is about. Rivendell runs on linux and to trouble shoot problems you have to be pretty high functioning as a linux hacker. Rivendell is a complicated suite of applications with not so great documentation. I've been working around *nix systems since the 70's when they were connected to the ARPANet by IMPs and TIPs. I still have to put out a call for help to the mailing list sometimes because it's been a long time since I did any heavy programming and Rivendell is complicated. Sometimes I get help right away and sometimes I don't hear a peep. I don't get too upset about it, I just start trying things to try to fix it myself. I have a machine that I use just for that and if I break it I reload it from scratch and it's just a couple days of my time burned up. I'm not running 2.1 (still in production on 1.7.1) yet so it's hard for me to help you. In 1.7.1 all the work with RDLibrary is done in a desktop GUI not a web browser. I wasn't aware that had changed. If the browser is saying the URL is invalid, it probably is either a configuration issue with Apache or file permissions. If there was a bug, the cgi would die and hang the browser or report some exit error message. Open a terminal window and sudo a find for the cgi. Look at it's permissions and where it is. Make sure all that it correct. After you find out some more, ask the list some more questions. At some point you may run across some information that triggers a memory for someone and you'll get some help. I think the point that Tim was making is that no one on this list has a responsibility to anyone else to fix problems. If one of us can help and we recognize the problem and have a solution we'll reply. If it's new ground we're just like you and we won't waste the bandwidth saying so. Rivendell is an excellent system. It is complete, in current development and even as a turnkey from Paravell it is cost effective when compared to other broadcast automation systems. If you're really new to this whole thing one of the LiveCD's from RRAbuntu is a great way to have a running system up in a hurry. Look at their Sourceforge project pages (http://rrabuntu.sourceforge.net/). If you have the money in your budget, you can't go wrong with a turnkey and then you have someone that really does have a responsibility to help you fix your issues.
