Problem when uploading NBZ's

[NeMiSiS]

Hi

My first time trying your program and I really like the idea. Currenlty It's not working tho. Dont quite know what's wrong. I've used ninan before and I can connect to the server when just doing a normal telnet onto the 119 port. This is what it says in /tmp/urd.log:

Code:

Not sure if I screwed up the config :-/ a bit of a newb when it comes to news readers :-P

we just discovered this bug ourselves....  to fix it run this patch on urdd/urdd.php: (by hand 1808 is the line# change the code from '>' to '<' etc)

Hi Again :-P

I've setup everything now the way it should be[or that's what I think]. The daemon doesn't die anymore but for some reason It seems like it's not getting the articles. I've done a TCPdump on the interface the requests should go out and I can see them going to the news server and the news server responding but for some reason it seems like the program is thinking that it's not connecting or something.

Here some of the debug code in /var/urd.log:

Code:

I thought it might be because I have localhost in at URD hostname. Tried changing it to my dns addy but didn't seem to do anything or work. Again I might have put the value in wrong.

I tried using the same NBZ file on a client running on my machine and it works. I'm guessing I screwed up the config somewhere.
So here is the config file aswell:

Code:

// This is an include-only file:
if (!defined('ORIGINAL_PAGE')) die('This file cannot be accessed directly.');


$pathc = realpath(dirname(__FILE__));

require_once("$pathc/functions/defines.php");

// urd daemon parameters (most can be overriden by cmdline options)

$config['urdd_port'] = 11666;                // the port urdd will listen on
$config['urdd_listen_host'] = '127.0.0.1';   // the interface urdd will listen on; '0.0.0.0' for all interfaces; '' to disable
$config['urdd_listen_host6'] = '::1';        // the interface URDD will listen on for IPv6: '::1' for localhost, '::' for all interfaces; '' to disable
$config['urdd_logfile'] = '/tmp/urdd.log';   // logfile that urdd will use
$config['urdweb_logfile'] = '/tmp/urdweb.log'; // logfile that is used by the web interface
$config['urdd_log'] = 'file|stderr';         // type of logfile that urdd will use; one or more  of file, stderr, syslog, separated by |
$config['urdd_min_loglevel'] = LOG_NOTICE;   // the minimal level that urdd will log
                                             // One of: LOG_EMERG LOG_ALERT LOG_CRIT LOG_ERR LOG_WARNING LOG_NOTICE LOG_INFO LOG_DEBUG
$config['urdd_need_auth'] = FALSE;           // authentication is needed to connect to urdd (will be removed!)
$config['urdd_daemonise'] = FALSE;           // run urdd as a daemon
$config['urdd_debug_level'] = DEBUG_ALL;     // see defines for possible values more than one can be orred together using |
$config['urdd_timeout'] = 30;                // connection time out of urdd clients
$config['urdd_queue_size'] = 20000 ;         // maximum elements urdd can store in the queue

// misc properties


$config['maxmsgs'] = 2000;                   // the maximum number of articles that will be downloaded in one go

$config['urdd_uid'] = 'urd';  // run the install.sh as root to install the user and the group
$config['urdd_gid'] = 'urd';  // these values are only used when urdd is started as root or with the setuid bit set


//default newsgroup filter should work for every one
$config['group_filter'] = 'alt.bin*';

// True if schedules are run at set times.
$config['scheduler'] = TRUE;

Hmm that's a tricky one!
Can you download sets (ie: not via NZB files) or does that also fail?

[NeMiSiS]

Havent tried that. The site however only works with the NBZ's unfortunatly :-(.

[spearhead]

try posting html/debug.php output, instead of the config. It shows much more (and blanks passwords btw)

[spearhead]

also, if you are tcpdumping anyway, can you see what NNTP response you get from the BODY command?

[NeMiSiS]

Will Run the tcp dump again and post the dump. Dont quite know what you want from the debug.php. so I did a php debug.php. and copied the contents as well:

Simply run it from the browser.. it will gather all your settings

[spearhead]

I don't see anything odd in there... any luck with the tcpdump?

[spearhead]

BTW do you need a user name and password for the news server? Did you set it in the usenet server configuration (admin/usenet servers)?

[NeMiSiS]

Hi

Sorry for the long wait. Got busy with some Stinking Pc Repairs :-/.

The Servers dont use  Username and password they require that you have an account with them as your ISP. I'm dailing both and my routing tables are set and as I know the problem isn't there cause i've been using another HTTP Downloader and the client on my pc is also still working.

Here is the TCP Dump as promised:

Code:

tcpdump -i dsl1 -n port 119
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on dsl1, link-type LINUX_SLL (Linux cooked), capture size 96 bytes

^ is from starting the daemon but I weren't sure if any of the users were using client on their local machines so I plugged them out and now it seems like it keeps doing the same thing:

Thanks again for all your trouble .. I really like the idea of your program and I'm really strating to enjoy it .. Not to mention it looks wonderful as an iFrame on the site I have for the local users. After we get it working I might bug you some more for changing it a bit so it authenticates to my currently joomla site :-P

Here is the TCP Dump as promised:

my bad... I need to see into the packets  This should do that
# tcpdump -i dsl1 -n port 119 -w /tmp/nntp_dump
Then mail me the file /tmp/nntp_dump

[NeMiSiS]

Kewl .. Mailed the TCP file to you. I've mailed it from a different gmail email addy tho. But you should have received it :-).

thanx... there is some really weird stuff going on.... there seems to be some stuff getting garbled.

can you do this for me:
# telnet news.is.co.za 119
you should get a reply starting with 200, can you send me that line (or are there more than 1 line).

Also run a command like this (in the telnet session)
body <4890f084$0$4016$b9f67a60@news.newsdemon.com>
and copy the first couple of lines that

1st one should say sth like
222 0 <4890f084$0$4016$b9f67a60@news.newsdemon.com> body

if you get a msg starting with a 5 or a 4 (like 423 No such article number in this group) it's an error


This would make me able to compare with what I should get

[spearhead]

just a bit of a hunch really, but open the file "functions/libs/base_nntp_client.php" and find the function

Code:

private function _getStatusResponse()

change the line

Code:

$response = $this->_socket->gets(256);

to

Code:

$response = $this->_socket->gets(1024);

and see if that works (restart the URD Daemon)

[NeMiSiS]

I've made the changes ... will post again when I start seeing some files in the Directory. FYI I've run the telnet commands so long and here's the output:

Code:

My hunch was right ;-) the 200 response you get from the newsserver was too long (271 characters) where it only can read 256.
