I get 500 Internal Server Error messages when I try to access the URLs in the recent patch summary. Is this happening to anybody else? Jeff

Just visited http://python.org/sf/754022 to test - no problems, normal redirect to the SF tracker. Can you show an URL that's not working? Oleg. -- Oleg Broytmann http://phd.pp.ru/ phd@phd.pp.ru Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.

Yes, it seems that the python.org/sf/#### special facility is having a problem. IDs over 1 100 000 or so don't work. I sent a message to webmaster@python.org since I don't know who wrote that code. -- KBK

I forwarded this to MvL, who wrote the code; he'll look into it but probably not before Sunday. On Thu, 31 Mar 2005 11:37:40 -0500, Kurt B. Kaiser <kbk@shore.net> wrote:

Actually, now that I saw that it is a permission problem, it turned out to be fixable quite easily. Regards, Martin

I don't have time to look into the problem, however... Here's a traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/sf", line 82, in ? log_type(report, tracker) File "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/sf", line 42, in log_type os.unlink(idsfile+".lck") OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/sourceforge-ids.txt.lck' and here's the script. It looks like lock file creation is failing but log_type() isn't returning, so in the finally clause deletion fails. Skip

and here's the script. It looks like lock file creation is failing but log_type() isn't returning, so in the finally clause deletion fails.
Somebody took "world" write permission on /tmp away; I don't know whether this was intentional - I have restored them for a moment. The script actually has two errors: it is not os.sleep, but time.sleep (so it would only try one time, not ten times); plus (and I'm glad you did not catch that, either :-) the finally block is always executed, even if the file was not created, and even if the function is left through return. I've fixed the script, however, if somebody takes away o+w on /tmp again, it will mean that the caching silently stops. Regards, Martin
