09:55 csharp_ Dyrcona: after you mentioned new Debian I installed it on a VM and was able to run the OpenSRF install without issue - haven't fully poked, but so far so good
09:56 csharp_ that is to say that I just added a trixie target for generic-debian and it worked
10:06 Dyrcona csharp_: That's often how it goes.

14:45 csharp_ bleh - we should allow lsb_release to tell us what OS we're on in our Makefile scripts (looking at the postgres server options, one per distro, per PG version adds up fast)
14:46 csharp_ I guess I should say, per distro, per distro release, per PG version
14:56 JBoyer May as well, we already depend on it in Makefile.debian to setup the pgdg repo
14:56 csharp_ JBoyer++
15:00 Dyrcona JBoyer: Keep in mind that on Ubunut (at least) the lsb packages need to be installed for lsb_release to work properly. IIRC, only `lsb_release -a` works on Ubuntu out of the box.
15:00 Dyrcona Heh, Ubunut....
15:00 Dyrcona @who is an Ubunut
15:00 pinesol book` is an Ubunut.
15:00 csharp_ I used to be an Ubunut
15:00 csharp_ now a Fedorant
15:01 JBoyer It also does on some recent debian systems, so it should probably just be installed automatically reguardless of deb-based distribution in use.
15:01 csharp_ redhat-ish distros do need to install it first
15:01 csharp_ but that's no big
15:02 JBoyer Fedorant sounds like a treatment for early-onset male-pattern Indiana Jonesitis
15:02 csharp_ pretty sure I had a case of that as a tweenager
15:03 csharp_ my grandfather gave me a fedora and I bought a whip in Gatlinburg
15:03 Lorne joined #evergreen
15:03 csharp_ I had fantasies of saving my crush from enemies in the school parking lot
15:04 Lorne Hello all, how do I restart the staff client after restarting Evergreen server? I have restarted apache2 and opensrf - OPAC catalogue comes up fine but staff client shows a blank white page.
15:05 csharp_ I do sometimes hum the Indiana Jones theme song when watching progress on Google Maps
15:05 csharp_ Lorne: can you confirm that websocketd is running?
15:05 JBoyer csharp_++
15:08 csharp_ Lorne: see https://evergreen-ils.org/documentati​on/install/OpenSRF/README_3_3_2.html#​_websockets_installation_instructions and https://evergreen-ils.org/documentation​/install/OpenSRF/README_3_3_2.html#_con​figuration_and_compilation_instructions
15:08 csharp_ Lorne: and https://evergreen-ils.org/documentat​ion/install/OpenSRF/README_3_3_2.htm​l#_optional_using_nginx_as_a_proxy
15:16 Lorne55 joined #evergreen
15:27 Lorne joined #evergreen
15:34 Lorne ok, starting websocketd as Opensrf user throws "Permission denied" errors. Should I file a bug report?
15:37 jihpringle joined #evergreen
15:38 csharp_ Lorne: can you share the errors in a pastebin or something?
15:41 Lorne https://pastes.io/evergreen-ils-staff-client
15:42 Lorne The terminal output writes more lines whenever I refresh the staff client page in the browser, so it is trying to connect at least
15:47 csharp_ Lorne: are you using nginx as a proxy?
15:49 csharp_ permission denied could be file perms or it could be something's not running (or looking at the wrong port)
15:49 csharp_ the "failed to load external entity" error points to a file perm problem - perhaps /openils and below are not owned by opensrf?
15:50 csharp_ e.g., chown -R opensrf:opensrf /openils (as root)
15:53 csharp_ Lorne: walking away for a bit, but maybe others can help you troubleshoot - I would verify websocketd is running, if you're using nginx as a proxy, make sure all the ports in nginx/apache2/websocketd line up correctly
16:02 Lorne @csharp_ ++ changing ownership of the files to opensrf did the trick. Shouldn't that be covered in the Ansible script at https://github.com/berick/e​vergreen-ansible-installer, though?
16:02 pinesol Lorne: Fire BAD! Reading GOOD!
16:04 Lorne anyway, will add that piece to my own documentation for now. Thank you team
