Re: [ptp-dev] More PTP Milestone1A problems

Dave,

I think there are two potential causes here. One is that you're running PTP under Windows, the other that you're trying to connect to an AIX box. Can you try connecting to a Linux box rather than AIX first?

The RSE connection itself was working. It was only when I tried to start
the proxy that I had a problem where 'start proxy' would hang until I
manually started the proxy on my AIX system. I had no problems editinng
the RM and clicking the browse button.

I'm not having any luck setting up a remote tools connection. I'm still seeing hangs when I go thru the RM create wizard where Eclipse is trying to establish a connectiion. If I click the cancel button in the connection popup, the cancel button grays out but Eclipse is hung and I have to kill it with the windows task manager. I have a dstore daemon (downloaded from the RSE 3.0 downloads) that I'm running on my AIX system, invoked as root
by running 'daemon.pl')

I reinstalled my Ganymede Eclipse clean, reinstalling the PTP 2.1 M2
build, the CDT 5.0.1 build dated 9/5, and RSE 3.0 runtime. I then checked
out all the PTP code from CVS HEAD then tried to run a 2nd eclipse
session. I try to open the PTP runtime perspective perspective in that
second session and get a popup 'Problems opening perspective
org.eclipse.ptp.ui.PTPRunPerspective

Dave,

Can you also verify that the RSE connection is working by editing the RM
and clicking on the "Browse" button?

Dave,

Could you try with a Remote Tools connection instead of an RSE connection?
Do you see the same problem?

I just verified that I don't have the manual launch checkbox checked. I had the same problem. I tried clicking the manual launch checkbox to see what would happen. That also required me to start the proxy manually, as
I expected.

I had my RSE connection set up without a stored password. If I had the
manual launch checkbox unchecked, then when I tried to start the proxy I
would get a password prompt that I responded to. If the manual launch
checkbox checked, I would not see the password prompt. In both cases, the
proxy had to be started manually.

I now have a stored password in my RSE connection and now when the manual launch checkbox is unchecked, I don't see the password prompt, but I still
have to start the proxy manually.

Dave,

Thanks for finding that bug. Working on a fix now. I know this is a silly question, but you don't have the manual launch checkbox selected do you?

I think I figured out why I was getting a hang in trying to start my proxy using a ssh-only RSE connection. It turns out that there is a null pointer exception at line 112 of RDEProcessBuilder because the directory() method
is returning null. It seems taht the constructor for
AbstractRemoteProcessBuilder is called, but the directory(IFileStore
directory) method is never called.  If I change the try block to
try {
                      IFileStore dir;
                      dir = directory();
                      if (dir == null) {
                              hostShell = shellService.runCommand(
"/home/wootton", remoteCmd, env,new NullProgressMonitor()); //$NON- NLS-1$

                      }
                      else {

                      }
              }

I'm not sure that's the right way to fix it, but it seems to me it should work for this specific case since the proxy is invoked by absolute path. I get past the null pointer exception and that particular hang. I end up still hung a little later though I get the following output in the console
for my first eclipse session

At that point, proxy startup is hung. I don't see any sign that my proxy was run. If I paste the command 'Lauch command:', minus the commas and run that on my remote system, then the proxy startup completes and I have a
running proxy. At that point, I can run a PE job and everything works
normally.

Re: [ptp-dev] More PTP Milestone1A problems










Sorry for the confusion. I'll update the release notes as soon as I
get a chance.

It's best to consider PTP and RDT as completely separate for the
moment. If you're using RSE, then you'll need an ssh-only connection
for PTP and a dstore connection for RDT. We're going to need to work
out how to make this more transparent in the future, but for now you
can either create both connections using the RSE connection manager,
or use the PTP RM wizard to create the ssh one.

My rse connection was ssh only. I set up a new rse connection using
dstore
only (even though the RSE connection setup dialog has checkboxes for
dstore, ssh, etc, I can only pick one) and set up a dstore server on
my
Linux node by running daemon.pl 4075 4200-4203
I can see connect messages logged on my Linux node but if I try to do
something simple like show my processes in the RSE prespective remote
systems view, that request hangs and eventually times out. I am able
to
get xclock to work displaying on my Windows machine and don't seem
to be
having any other network problems.

I don't know if I'm still having firewall or network issues. I won't
be
back in the office with time to try this without firewalls until
next Wed.

Greg
Will the proxy startup work with a ssh-only rse connection or is
dstore
required for that too? I was able to start bthe proxy with a ssh rse
connection in PTP 2.0 a while ago, don't know if anything is changed.

Is your RSE connection SSH only? The remote indexing stuff requires

[ptp-dev] More PTP Milestone1A problems






I tried the PTP milestone1 build again tonight and got a little
farther
with trying to create a new remote project. This time when I tried
to use
the new remote project wizard, I was able to choose the remote tools
filesystem and click the browse button next to the location text
field on
the first wizard page. This time, I was able to select a connection
name
from the dropdown at the top of the browse directory dialog, and then
browse my home directory on my remote Linux system and select a
directory
on hat system. However, as I tried to advance thru the wizard pages
I got
a message in the PDE error log window that the directory path I
selected
could not be opened, and the finish button for the wizard never was
enabled. The odd thing was that the pathname that showed up in the
error
message had '\' as directory delimiters instead of '/'. My eclipse
GUI is
running on a windows XP system so I'm wondering if pathnames are being
sent to the Linux system with '\' in the path name.

I wasn't sure why this was failing so I downloaded the M1A build.
Now when
I select browse in the new remote project wizard and then click a
connection name in the browse directory dropdown, I get a progress
dialog
but it freezes at about the halfway point and the connection doesn't
complete within a couple minutes. At that point I canceled the
progress
dialog.

Another problem that I have been seeing, and which still happens in
the
M1A build is that if I have a PE proxy running when I shut down
eclipse,
then the next time I start Eclipse, where I have a different IP
address
(because I've dropped my VPN connection and then reconnected), then
when
PTP tries to restart the proxy, it fails and the icon for that proxy
is
blue. At that point, I can't do anything with the proxy. I shot down
Eclipse and start again, and the proxy icon is now gray (inactive).
If I
fix the local address for proxy connection in the resource manager
wizard
so it matches my current IP address, I can start the proxy and
everything
is fine. If there was a way to reset the state of the proxy icons in
the
resource manager wizard so that it wasn't blue, I wouldn't have to
restart
Eclipse to fix the problem.

I have what I think is a working RSE connection. If I open the Remote
System Explorer perspective and open Sftp files or shell processes
in the
tree in the remote systems view, I can see files and processes
appear in
the view. I switched to the PTP runtime view and tried to create a
resource manager using the same RSE connection. The first problem is
that
if I change the remote service provider to RSE, then the browse button
next to the proxy path edit filed does't do anything. If I select
local as
the remote service provider, then I get a file selector dialog. I
switched
remote service provider back to RSE and pasted in the full path name
to my
proxy and filled in the other fields in the wizard and clicked finish.
Then I tried to start the proxy. I get a progress dialog for a couple
seconds and then I get a popup dialog with a message 'Failed to start
resource manager' and the proxy icon goes to the blue state.
