27 Feb 2014, Andreas Suter, Suggestion, runlog is "ugly" 
|
I have a couple of questions and suggestions concerning the "new" CSS style of the mhttpd, especially related to the runlog
[LIST=1]
[*] If I am not mistaken, the mhttpd.css is hard coded (path/name) into the mhttpd. Wouldn't it be beneficial to have ODB entries where to get is from? |

mhttpd.css is served from $MIDASSYS/resources/mhttpd.css. The actual path is reported on the mhttpd

|
Understand me right, I mostly like the new style, except the runlog as reported.
Attached you will find the diff's you were asking for. But as pointed out, I
haven't worked so far on CSS and hence this should be checked!!

I agree that this should be removed, Unfortunately I'm away right now, so I will fix it next week. Also will put in

I put mhttpd.css and mhttpd.js into the ODB, so every experiment can change it. I put also Andreas' modifications of the CSS file for the runlog table and
committed the changes.

I'm looking into using MIDAS for an experiment that creates one large event
(20MB or more) every second.

Works, and here is how I did it. The attached example is based on the standard MIDAS
example in "src/midas/examples/experiment".

21 Feb 2014, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, Javascript ODBMLs(), modified ODBMCopy() JSON encoding

I made a few minor modifications to the ODB JSON encoder and implemented a javascript "ls" function to
report full ODB directory information as available from odbedit "ls -l" and the mhttpd odb editor page.

23 Sep 2013, Stefan Ritt, Info, Custom page header implemented
|
Due to popular request, I implemented a custom header for mhttpd. This allows to inject some HTML code
to be shown on top of the menu bar on all mhttpd pages. One possible application is to bring back the old
status line with the name of the current experiment, the actual time and the refresh interval.
|
|
12 Feb 2014, Stefan Ritt, Info, Custom page header implemented
|
As reported in the bug tracker, the proposed header does not work if no specific (= different from the default 60 sec.) update period is specified,
since then no cookie is present. Here is the updated code which works for all cases:

18 Feb 2014, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, Custom page header implemented
|
I am not sure what to do with the javascript snippet - I understand it should be somehow connected to /Custom/Header, but if I create the /Custom/Header
string, I cannot put this snippet
into this string using odbedit - if I try to cut&paste it into odbedit, it is truncated to the first line - nor using the mhttpd odb editor - when I cut&paste |

Just read elog:908, it tells you to put this into a file, name it header.html for example, and put into the ODB:

31 Jan 2014, Stefan Ritt, Info, Separation of MSCB subtree
|
Since several projects at PSI need MSCB but not MIDAS, I decided to separate the two repositories. So if you
need MIDAS with MSCB support inside mhttpd, you have to clone MIDAS, MXML and MSCB from bitbucket
(or the local clone at TRIUMF) as described in

If you follow the MIDAS documentation for setting up password protection, you will get strange messages:

The periodic messages about broken semaphore actually come from al_check(). I put some whining there, too.

This is interesting. When I used it last time (some years ago...) it worked fine. I did not touch this, and now it's broken. Must be related to some modifications |

The MIDAS Web password function is broken - with the web password enabled, I am not prompted for a
password when editing ODB. The password still partially works - I am prompted for the web password
when starting a run. K.O.

I made some tests of MIDAS support for "international characters" and we seem to be in a reasonable
shape.

In some experiments (i.e. DEAP), we see spurious symlinks to midas.log scattered just about everywhere. I
now traced this to an uninitialized variable in cm_msg_log() and it should be fixed now. K.O. |

16 Dec 2013, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Fix, Abolished SYNC and ASYNC defines

A few months ago, definitions of SYNC and ASYNC in midas.h have been changed away from "0" and "1",

In one of the experiments, we hit a long time bug in mdump - there was an array of 32 equipments and if
there were more than 32 entries under /equipment, it would overrun and corrupt memory. Somehow this
only showed up after mdump was switched to c++. The solution was to use std::vector instead of fixed

20 Nov 2013, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Report, Too many bm_flush_cache() in mfe.c

I was looking at something in the mserver and noticed that for remote frontends, for every periodic event,
there are about 3 RPC calls to bm_flush_cache().

15 Nov 2013, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Report, stuck data buffers

We have seen several times a problem with stuck data buffers. The symptoms are very confusing -
frontends cannot start, instead hang forever in a state very hard to kill. Also "mdump -s -d -z
BUF03" for the affected data buffers is stuck.
