Jetty+Nielm Webapp issue

[duglin]

Hi,
I'm using SageTV v6.4.8 and am having trouble setting up the
web server from Nielm. Here's what I did:
- installed SageTV
- installed jettystart_1_6.zip
- installed SageTV_V6_4_8Setup.exe
- installed nielm-websrv-war-file-2.28.zip
- installed nielm-websrv-context-file-2.28.zip

I can get to the main /sage home page and even see most things
(list of recordings, grid...). But when I try to view the details
about a recording I get this error:
- - - - - - - - -- -- - - - - - - - -
HTTP ERROR 500

Problem accessing /sage/DetailedInfo. Reason:

ServletConfig has not been initialized

Caused by:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: ServletConfig has not been initialized

I suspect I didn't install everything but I'm not sure what.
I noticed some other zip files in the SourceForge download dir but
they seemed like they were for the old tomcat version of the webserver
not for Jetty.

Any suggestions on what to look for?
thanks

Version 2.26 is the last version of nielm's web interface that will work with Sage 6.x. Try downloading and installing that version.

Thanks for the reply - but where can I get v2.26?
The dir/readme [1] on sourceforge just says that its hosted on
sagetv's ftp site, but no URL. I tried to anonymous
ftp to ftp.sagetv.com but I get an error saying it can't cd
to /var/ftp

Check in the downloads section of the fourm (link at the top)

I forgot I never uploaded an official build of 2.26 for Sage 6. There are a few builds of it in the webserver/snapshots directory (nielm_websrv_jetty_2_26_buildxx.zip). Those are stable, or if you want 2.25 you can download it from webserver/v2.25.

The comment in the readme file refers to the Sage 7 download, which is packaged differently and downloaded from the Plugin Manager within in SageTV.

Thanks - got it working now with the latest stuff.

BTW - what's the "mediastreaming" war file? I thought I could
use that to support streaming of my videos across the web but
each time I install it it causes all of my other webapps to fail,
and it doesn't work either -I just get 404's back.

[jreichen]

That's a Sage 7 plugin that serves TV recordings in Apple's HTTP Live Streaming format. The recordings can be viewed through the Mobile Web Interface but not nielm's. The support thread for it is here.

It's probably causing failures because it's not compatible with Sage 6 and fails to start up, resulting in other web apps failing.

Ah - thanks for the info and the help!
