No error message is shown when an incorrect IP address is used in the configuration file for some parameters. I try to load one of the sample applications and it hangs forever. I came across this problem when I'm using my laptop in two different location. The IP is used for these two parameters: "cwc2_url" and "web_server_path" in "chameleon.xml". Steps to reproduce: 1. Used an incorrect IP address in the configuration file for the above parameters. 2. Load one of the chameleon sample applications. Mozilla 1.6 Federa Core 2. Chameleon CVS
Changed target to 1.99 RC 1.
I just tried this. Some stuff works, some stuff doesn't. For instance, the map image fails to load. This is because there is an HTTP 404 error - its looking for an address that doesn't exist. I'm not sure, but I think this is another of those things that are so obvious that I don't really want to deal with it. I understand that, in your case (and for me too), you have several different possible configurations depending on whether you are at home or at the office. However, this should be considered an abnormal situation as chameleon would not normally be set up to run from a laptop. I think that it is a reasonable assumption that chameleon be correctly configured, and that this configuration would be done once on installation and then updated if the system changes. I think that the existing installation instructions are sufficient to get a running chameleon instance. So in this case, the issue is that you changed your system configuration and did not update Chameleon to reflect the changes. It would be very difficult, if not impossible, to determine that the configuration is incorrect (at least in this case). We can possibly detect errors like the map image failing to load, but how do we know *why* it failed to load? I am marking this as wontfix because I think it is purely a user error in this case. If you don't configure stuff correctly, it will break.
