Fastcgi trouble with status headers in application_controller.rb

Here's number two.

I had trouble getting the http-authentication to work with fastcgi since
it seems to be very picky when it comes to headers.

I had to comment line 36 in application_controller.rb in order to not
have it complain:

[Tue Jan 31 21:37:14 2012] [error] [client 178.254.102.***] FastCGI:
comm with server
"/var/www/haxogreen.lu/pentabarf/rails/public/dispatch.fcgi" aborted:
error parsing headers: duplicate header 'Status'

So in the end, my transaction_wrapper now looks like this:

def transaction_wrapper
    response.content_type ||= Mime::HTML
    Momomoto::Database.instance.transaction do
      if auth
        # if auth succeeds we continue
        yield
      elsif not performed? then
        # if auth failed and nothing has been rendered we return 401
        #response.headers["Status"] = "Unauthorized"
        response.headers["WWW-Authenticate"] = "Basic realm=Pentabarf"
        render(
:file=>'auth_failed.rxml',:status=>401,:content_type=>'text/html' )
      end
      POPE.deauth

Pentabarf submission/login going in circles

Hi,

I have three posts to make, I'll create a separate thread for each one
of them.

Here's number one:

I'm running pentabarf from github with postrgres-8.4 and using fastcgi
with apache.
Whenever I go to http://cfp.haxogreen.lu/submission/login, it redirects
me back to http://cfp.haxogreen.lu/submission

Also, if you go to http://cfp.haxogreen.lu/submission, you'll find that
no conference is listed, even though I have one defined and in the
submission phase.

Here's the production log: (apache error log not showing up any error
messages)

Processing SubmissionController#index (for 178.254.102.*** at 2012-01-31

Hi,

running

bails out with the following message:

FEHLER:  doppelter Schlüsselwert verletzt Unique-Constraint

What can be done to make the upgrade work?

With kind regards,

Strange 404s on HTML export

Hi!

I have a very strange problem with HTML export in 0.3.18: Everything worked
fine for a while. But now people have uploaded lots of files as attachments
to their talks and the export breaks.

Symptoms: From inside the Pentabarf web user interface everything is fine,
creating releases works, and the schedule_export button works.

But script/html-export sooner or later chokes on an attachment:
./lib/html_export.rb:102:in `export': Error while processing {:controller=>"file",
:language=>"de", :filename=>"neue-wege-fuer-metadaten_arnulf-christl_v7.pdf",
:action=>:event_attachment, :id=>63, :only_path=>true}: Error in HTML Export while processing
{:controller=>"file", :language=>"de",
:filename=>"neue-wege-fuer-metadaten_arnulf-christl_v7.pdf", :action=>:event_attachment,
:id=>63, :only_path=>true} (StandardError)
    from ./script/html-export:39

The logfile says:
Processing FileController#event_attachment (for 127.0.0.1 at 2010-03-14 17:46:13) [GET]
  Parameters: {"action"=>"event_attachment", "language"=>"de", "id"=>"63",
"filename"=>"neue-wege-fuer-metadaten_arnulf-christl_v7.pdf", "controller"=>"file"}
Completed in 180ms (View: 0 | 404 Not Found [http://pentabarf.org/file/event_attachment/63?filename=neue-wege-fuer-metadaten_arnulf-christl_v7.pdf&language=de]

So there is a 404 error. But the file is there and can be downloaded.

The file right before that was fine:
Processing FileController#event_attachment (for 127.0.0.1 at 2010-03-14 17:46:12) [GET]
  Parameters: {"action"=>"event_attachment", "language"=>"de", "id"=>"95",
"filename"=>"FOSSGIS-2010_Arnulf-Christl_Neue-Wege-fuer-Metadaten.pdf", "controller"=>"file"}
Completed in 582ms (View: 0 | 200 OK [http://pentabarf.org/file/event_attachment/95?filename=FOSSGIS-2010_Arnulf-Christl_Neue-Wege-fuer-Metadaten.pdf&language=de]

If I delete the file or make it non-public, html-export will sooner or later
choke on a different file.

I can see no difference between files that work and files that don't. Might
have something to do with size, but I don't think so.

For several hours now I have been trying to dig my way through the maze of
Pentabarf and Rails, but can't really isolate the code that returns the 404.
If I run the event_attachment method in the file_controller manually,
everything is fine again as it is when called from inside the web UI. So
it might have something to do with the ActionController::Integration::Session
that the export code uses.

Any ideas?

All accepted speakers: less than expected

I'm at pentabarf/mail using the 'All accepted speakers of this 
conference'.  I see 6 speakers.

However, event/state/accepted shows 42 events accepted.

I can see no differences the events/speakers not included.

For example, a speaker missing from the list:

  - event role: speaker
  - role state: confirmed
  - event state: accepted
  - progress: reconfirmed

What's up?

No action responded to person

I just encountered this error, but have no access to the server from 
this location to get any logs:

No action responded to person. Actions: activity, conflicts, index, 
mail, recent_changes, recipients, schedule, and send_mail

The above occurred when going to pentabarf/person/1

No idea why.  :)
