Server maintenance

hannamj1 · March 18, 2013, 1:14pm

We are still getting errors when running pack3d:

:downloader: [0x1015400] begin GET [ https://runtime.panda3d.org/contents.xml?1363612251 ]
:downloader: [0x1015400] Self-signed certificate from runtime.panda3d.org:443
Unable to download https://runtime.panda3d.org/contents.xml?1363612251
Unable to load Panda3D plugin.

OSX here as well. I deleted ~/Library/Caches/Panda3D and it had same error. Any work-arounds?

rdb · March 18, 2013, 6:00pm

We’re aware that the server has been down often. We’re working on it.

@hannamj1:
Not at the moment, sorry. The latest buildbot version of the runtime seemed to work, but the Buildbot is not operational at the moment.

I found a workaround for this.

Ensure that you have the runtime installed so you will have the web plugin.
Visit a page that will load the p3d plugin, for example http://www.panda3d.org/gallery/demo.php?app=ball-in-maze. You do not need click the play button or interact with the game.
Now you should be able to run packp3d and ppackage.

Thaumaturge, Nemesis#13, heek_: I still cannot reproduce the login issue. Do you guys get proper phpbb3 cookies? Can you guys give me the names of the cookies that your browser reports having on panda3d.org ?

rdb · March 19, 2013, 9:38am

Oh, wait, could the problem be that you’re on the non-SSL site for some reason? I’ve just forced SSL, so let me know if it’s fixed now. (May need to clear cookies and re-login.)

hannamj1 · March 19, 2013, 11:40am

@rdb, that didn’t seem to work. I got the same error.

@teedee, your recommendation did get me further! It enabled the download of the Panda3D runtime, which was good. However, the packp3d still gave me an error. Here is what happens when I run the packp3d for my project:

$ packp3d -o build/vrobot.p3d -d engine -m engine.py -r audio -r fmod -r morepy

I’m afraid that I still seem to be experiencing the login problem.

Strangely, I seem to have cookies for both “panda3d.org” and “panda3d.net”. Here’s a quick list:
“panda3d.net”:

Spusr
__utma 
__utmz 
Spusr

“panda3d.org”:

mediawikiUserID
mediawikiUserName
phpbb2mysql_data
(Note: the domain for the following is given as ".www.panda3d.org")
phpbb3_crhtw_u        
phpbb3_crhtw_k
phpbb3_crhtw_sid
phpbb3_crhtx_u
phpbb3_crhtx_k
phpbb3_crhtx_sid
style_cookie

rdb · March 19, 2013, 9:06pm

hannamj1: is there a particular reason why you’re using the 1.7 version of packp3d and not 1.8?

By the way, guys, the old buildbot builds are still available at panda3d.org/buildbot/builds/ which you can access until the buildbot is back up again.

@Thaumaturge: so you are using the https version of the site? Also, you may need to clear cookies before this works - the fact that you have panda3d.net cookies indicates that you have some very old cookies.
I just changed something again; try it now.

hannamj1 · March 19, 2013, 9:27pm

I was just using 1.7 since it is the latest stable release. 1.8 is listed on the site as still unstable. I can upgrade and give it a shot to see what happens.

Thaumaturge · March 20, 2013, 1:38pm

It looks to me as though I’m using the https version of the site for posting, but not otherwise; if this isn’t automatic, then I’m not sure of how it happened, since I don’t recall setting anything with the desire to do that. ^^;

… If anything, it may be slightly worse now. ^^;

It seems now that if I log in via one tab, go to another (already open) tab and refresh that tab, not only do I not find myself logged in in that tab, but if I then refresh the first I find myelf logged out there!

As to the panda3d.net cookies, those are odd – when did we switch over? I’ve only had this harddrive since somewhere around February or March of last year, I think.

PS: I don’t know whether this was the case previously, but I just discovered that, apparently, while creating a post, if I select a piece of text in a preceding post and then press that post’s “quote” button, I get a quote withe just the selected text! That’s rather cool!

hannamj1 · March 20, 2013, 2:48pm

I upgraded SDK to 1.8 and the packp3d works fine. However, now the nsis command fails. It looks like this has already been reported and will be incorporated in 1.8.1.

I am in a crunch to get a delivery out, on Windows now. Is there anyway I can piece together the application.exe and all the supporting cmu_1.8 dependencies with contents.xml file to create a standalone application without doing the NSIS step? It does everything except the nsis, so I can find several parts under the Temp folder.

Thanks!

rdb · March 20, 2013, 9:43pm

Can you please start using https instead of regular http altogether and report whether the issue still exists?

@hannamj1: the exact error might help us to give you a quick-fix, but we also host daily versions of the runtime at runtime-dev.panda3d.org/ – try using pdeploy_dev from there. (Use the regular packp3d, however.)

Thaumaturge · March 20, 2013, 10:23pm

A quick test seems to indicate that switching to https does indeed solve the problem!

I imagine, however, that this won’t solve things for newcomers who start off on the “http” version of the front-page?

hannamj1 · March 21, 2013, 3:48am

All, thank you all for your help. With your help, I have been able to get things working with a few work arounds. here is what I ended up doing:

Since I was getting certificate errors, upgrading to the 1.8 SDK enabled me to run packp3d.
Then, I was getting an error on makensis which prohibited my pdeploy with an installer option to work.
I found a work around which I posted here (Failure invoking NSIS command)

Thank you all for your time and hard work!

rdb · March 21, 2013, 8:20am

Thaumaturge: OK, thank you. I’ve just made some more changes and it should work for non-HTTPS as well, for the people who can’t use HTTPS for some weird reason. If this doesn’t work then I’ll just let non-HTTPS redirect to HTTPS.

Thaumaturge · March 21, 2013, 2:40pm

A quick test seems to indicate that it does indeed work in the non-HTTPS version of the site as well. Thank you!

ninth · April 2, 2013, 7:21am

Is buildbot still not work, or just no new builds?

rdb · April 2, 2013, 9:45am

I’m working on it.

Old builds are available from:
panda3d.org/buildbot/builds/

astrogee · April 5, 2013, 10:53pm

Hey hey,

I was having the same problem with packp3d as mentioned above:

:downloader: [0xb87c00] begin GET [ https://runtime.panda3d.org/contents.xml?1363202271 ]

Unable to download https://runtime.panda3d.org/contents.xml?1363202271
Unable to load Panda3D plugin.

I tried the workaround by browsing to the demo page and the download worked fine after that. But now I get this instead. Any hints?

Update: Tried installing the latest runtime from buildbot and cleared the cache. Did not help Also tried to install the latest OSX SDK from buildbot, but the install failed when verifying the files. Any ideas?

Edit: Never mind. Found rdb’s message in another thread saying he’s working on releasing a bug fix for this. Thanks rdb!
