Hello Folks,

I am running into some issues with a clean install of the latest development version of APE Server on OS X.

Basically, I'm sending a little bit of data to the inlinepush demo page with the python script (found below the gdb output). Things work fine, eventually I stop the python script. A couple of minutes later (with no activity or connections) the APE server crashes with the above error.

Any suggestions with how to troubleshoot this? Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Our Python script that generates some random data for APE_JSF/Demos/Controller/demo.html

It may be unrelated, but this is how I am sending data to the APE server.

import urllib2
import json
import time

x = 0

while 1:

    x += 1

    server = 'http://127.0.0.1:6969/0/?'
    cmd = [{'cmd': 'inlinepush',
            'params': {
               'password': 'whatever the default password was, yes, i changed it',
               'raw': 'postmsg',
               'channel': 'testchannel',
               'data': {
                    'message': str(x)
               }
            }
           }]

    url = server + urllib2.quote(json.dumps(cmd))
    print url
    response = urllib2.urlopen(url)
    time.sleep(1)

Hi,

I have a chat-like app using APE. Like once a day, the APE server crash.
I use Debian 6 and APE 1.1.1 from .deb file.

Sometimes I can see a "glibc crash detected [...] double free or corruption" in the logs. Sometimes not.

Yesterday I tried that :

• "git checkout" the current head of master branch
• "make" it with -g (instead of -O2)
• clone the main config file and set "daemon = no"
• run it in a screen with "gdb ./aped" then :
  set args --cfg /etc/ape/ape_debug.conf
  handle SIGPIPE nostop
  run

It start well, server works as in daemon mode.
After around 8 hours, Nagios have said that the port 6969 has cease to respond.

4 new lines in the screen :
Error: Cannot write to socket 230; Connection timed out

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00000000004186ae in ape_disconnect (co=0x86bf40, g_ape=0x62aa90) at src/servers.c:59
59 if (co->fd == sub->client->fd) {
(gdb)

I am currently tring to run in debug the server with a slight change in the code : before the problematic line, I have added a "if ( sub->client != NULL)".
I have added also a else with a ape_log() and a printf() call...

I will post some news in few days.

Regards,
Ludovic

APE should log to the file specified in the configuration file regardless of running mode (daemon of foreground). I'm trying to use upstart to supervise the aped process. Upstart doesn't play well with daemons that fork, so I want to set daemon = no, which works fine, however Ape.log logging stops working, even though logging from the core server still works. There's no good way of logging stdout to a file in upstart (especially since ape.log is already being written to by the server).

Replication:

1. Use Ape.log in a server side JS module,
2. Set daemon = yes in the config and restart -> logging works,
3. Set daemon = no in the config and restart -> logging doesn't work.

Just amazed that this project closed.
What is the alternative that made this end?

Examples like

Exemple 1:
// URL to call
var request = new Http('http://www.google.fr/');
request.getContent(function(result) {
Ape.log(result);
});

don't work to me.
It seems the request is created but it never enters the getContent block. No errors returned. I couldn't find any useful information. Tried to use the last Http.js from github but the problem is not solved.

Thanks

I found 2 ways:

method 1:

Ape.addEvent('init', function() {
    var channel = Ape.mkChan('diediediemydarling');
});
Ape.addEvent("mkchan", function(channel) {
    Ape.log(channel.getProperty('name') + " created");
    Ape.rmChan(channel.getProperty('name'));
})

method 2

Ape.addEvent('init', function() {
    var channel = Ape.mkChan('diediediemydarling');
    Ape.setTimeout(
        function() {
            Ape.log("stopping now");
            Ape.rmChan(channel.getProperty('name'));
        }, 3000);
});

Ape.addEvent('mkChan', function(channel) {
    Ape.log(channel.getProperty('name') + " created");
});

Ape.addEvent("rmchan", function(channel) {
    Ape.log(channel.getProperty('name') + " deleted");
    Ape.rmChan(channel.getProperty('name'));
});

I have not checked other versions, but on master the subuser object seems to be blank slate. None of the documented methods are defined.

Ape.registerCmd('foo', true, function(params, info) {
    info.subuser.sendRaw('bar', {'ok':'true'});
});

will generate the following error: TypeError: info.subuser.sendRaw is not a function

I believe I have all the libraries needed installed.
Running build.sh first gave an error of "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysac"
Running it again worked. It seems to compile fine since running "make" in modules/deps/mysac says "nothing to be done" or something to that effect.

When I try use Ape.MySQL it doesn't throw any error, but there is no onConnect() callback triggered. No mysql queries work, either.

That is all using the latest git hub version built from source.
Using the deb package I get ""symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/ape/libmod_spidermonkey.so: undefined symbol: scramble" "

I can only get aped working with mysql using a really old version I had on my HD. This old version, however, crashes every day.

I was looking at my log and i found events_poll() : Interrupted system call and then the server restarts itself. Could this be causing the bad session raw sent to clients? Below is a snippet of the log

The APE server could immensely benefit from the use of so called mysql prepared statements. How can this be done?

Info:

For repeated execution of a SQL command, where only parameters change, the MySQL C API offeres a function that employs the binary protocol to pass the arguments and execute it, which is extremly fast compared to usual way,
because the query does not have to be parsed every time and parameters are send as binary data which is way more efficient!

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/c-api-prepared-statements.html

1. the protocoll is complete ignored, so you change you example (which uses http://host into just "host")
   As only http:// seems to be possible on APE that would be enough for now.
2. If no port is given in the url via url:port, then the port is always set to 80 even if one is given in the constructor!

My fix is to have he following priority: Constructor Agrument or, if none given: port in url, or if none given: 80

initialize: function(url, port) {
    this.url            = url;
    this.port           = port;
    this.parseURL();
},

parseURL: function() {
    var result  = this.url.match("^.*?://(.*?)(:([0-9]+))?((/.*)|)$");
    this.host   = result[1];
    this.port   = this.port || result[3] || 80;
    this.query  = result[4];
},

Run this script with valgrind and the APE server crashes in 5 minutes or less, my events table has 9 columns with a long description column that can be up to 2K, and a couple of timestamp fields of html text

I am running version 1.1.1 of the server

        {
                case '*events':
                        Ape.log( 'Starting EVENTS thread at 5 seconds' );
                        events_timeoutID = Ape.setInterval(EventsTick, 5000, chan );
                        break;
        }

        Ape.join( cj );
});

There is a memory leak in the MYSQL SpiderMonkey code I can help and test with anything, this get this bug fixed

When i use the inlinepush module the float values are converted to int value.

ex:

send to the APE server using inline push:
[{"cmd": "inlinepush", "params":
{"raw": "ping", "password": "testpasswd", "data":
{"content": {"timestamp": 1264062569.54, "coord":
{"y": 1.0957805, "x": 49.449257}}}, "channel": "*TEST"}}]
[{"time":"1264012321","raw":"pushed","data":{"value":"ok"}}]

X and Y became:
[{"time":"1264013251","raw":"ping","data":{"content":{"timestamp":1264063517,
"coord":{"y":1,"x":48}
}}}]

multipipeCreate event returns a MALFORMED JSON which causes JSON.parse on line 180 of Core.js to fail. It's because after the CHANNEL raw data... if there are other events like JOIN LEFT or DATA, then instead of a comma the json is formed like ....}][{"time":"1289577226","raw":"DATA",.... Notice the ][. There should be a , instead of that.

QUICK FIX
Put this before line 180 to fix it till a proper server side fix is released:

raws = raws.replace(/][/gi,",");

hi i user grey ip like 10.10.50.50 on my work portal with apache, how i can run ape server without subdomain?
please help, thanks

The server responds with a JSON string with single quotes escaped when they should not be escaped

The changes on commit 88a75bd should be reversed

hello

your ape-project website introduce your project so well but when i go to docs and wiki pages,,they redirect to the same page and show nothing

If an APE server is behind a proxy server all requests have the IP 127.0.0.1

APE should check for the X-Forwarded-For first in case the request is been forwarded from a proxy server.

I wonder if the documentation on your website of the ApeServer is complete?

I ask because when I look at Ape.sockClient there are no Methods presented!
But when I look at the examples under the constructor tab of Ape.sockServer there are two methods presented close() and write!

Is this doc outdated and if where is a complete doc for the APE Server?

I write a script named “test.js” ，I put it to "example" directory so that it can be included when APE server start up. And then, I write a TCP socket program by using netty, it listen port 6666 on the same host. I can recieve message from netty program by using telenet. however, test.js can only trigger onConnect and onDisconnect event. I was wondering why onRead can not be triggered

Here is my script below:

var socket = new Ape.sockClient(6666, "127.0.0.1", {flushlf: true});
socket.onConnect = function(){
Ape.log("we are connected!");
socket.write("ape");
}
socket.onRead = function(data){
Ape.log("yes");
}
socket.onDisconnect = function(data){
Ape.log("Gone!");
}

In APE_Server-1.1.2-i386.bin, on running aped getting error.

[Module] Failed to load ../modules/lib/libmod_spidermonkey.so [Invalid library](libmysqlclient_r.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

I am currently using APE Server 1.1, I don't have any issues in using the current version. After so many years found a new version. Thought there will be improvements but i could not upgrade to latest stable version.

I don't connect to MySQL / execute any MySQL query in my APE Client but why the spider monkey is looking for mysql client.

Can you please help me to resolve this issue.

Nickname.js should be enabled by default since the demos bundled with APE JSF requires it. I know this command is kind of useless in the real world, but one should be able to get the demos working without changing something in the server scripts.

That or we update the demos files.

I didn't checked, but I guess the doc mention nickname also?

Also, I guess 'utils/checkTool.js' shouldn't be commented by default.

Hi guys i think the wiki has been hacked on ape-project.org.

If you go to this link:
http://www.ape-project.org/docs/client/core/

Then try to click on any of the method descriptions, such as "addEvent", or "join" etc, the browser times out.

Also I have noticed some strange and irrelevant links to places dotted around.

Some Ape.conf:
Server {
daemon = yes
rlimit_nofile = 1000000
}
Log {
debug = 1
}
JSONP {
eval_func = Ape.transport.read
allowed = 1
}

To replicate:
Open the Chat demo app in Firefox in one tab. Then open it in another tab. Firebug shows repeated (fast) requests to server and page is left blank... If this tab is closed and the first tab is reloaded it has the same bug now. Must restart server for it to work again...

Will APE Server be able to request a thrid party website via https?

This is important for openID or OAuth stuff

http://www.ape-project.org/docs/client/core/start.html
says a nick is required if libape-chat is used. But the source of the server does not contain anything about libape-chat!
Why do I still get a BAD_PARAMS if i invoke start() without parameters?

Here is a suggestion:

The below block is located in the in the file ape.conf:

Server {
        port = 6969
        daemon = no
        ip_listen = 0.0.0.0
        domain = auto
        rlimit_nofile = 10000
        pid_file = /var/run/aped.pid
}

It would help if this options could be overwritten through the command line

For example consider the below configuration:

Server {
        port = 6969
        daemon = yes
        ip_listen = 0.0.0.0
        domain = auto
        rlimit_nofile = 10000
        pid_file = ./running.pid
}

Executing ./aped would start the server as daemon

To debug this server i have to duplicate the existing ape.conf into debug.conf. In debug.conf i just change daemon = no and then run ./aped --cfg debug.conf

It would be nice if one could just run somthing like ./aped -daemon no to debug a server which is configured to start as damon by default.

Does APEd have IPv6 support?

Hi there.

You can watch the Bug by yourself.
Here: http://riyuk.de/jsclient/Demos/Controller/demo.html you can find the Demo of the Controller.
If you now just open the "test.php" APE isn't able to send the given Msg.
If you open the printet URL by yourself the Message will be sent.

APE is running as "stand alone" as daemon. It's not used with mod_proxy.
APE got his own IP Adress with Port 80.

~$ host ape.riyuk.de

ape.riyuk.de A 88.198.120.222

~$ host 4.ape.riyuk.de

4.ape.riyuk.de A 88.198.120.222

My Webserver got this A-Record:
~$ host riyuk.de

riyuk.de A 78.46.93.206

Any solutions?

Ok so i've been developing a few little demos to showcase the use of APE. While testing i had different apps using different transports. If i first navigate to a demo that uses websockets it will connect to APE for the first time and create the session. Then if i navigate to another demo which uses long-poling and the same session, the response of the very first request will have a few extra bits/characters which breaks the JSON parsing process. Below is a screenshot of firebug

It might not be relevant since in a production environment you will most likely want to be consistent with the transport of choice.

Hello,
I need your help for install ape server on my server in debian squeeze. My problem is ape server need libc6 > 2.14 but squeeze dont have this version.

Can you help me plz ?

thx

Spam is replacing the valid pages on http://www.ape-project.org/wiki/index.php/Inlinepush

That page should be locked down so no changes can be made

the error message "missing ) after argument list" appears when I send an inlinepush message enabling JSONP transport method

I modified the file "APE_Server/scripts/commands/inlinepush.js"
I do not know if this is the correct procedure:

adding:

params.data.message = escape(params.data.message);

before:

chan.pipe.sendRaw(params.raw, params.data);
