Administration Tab links to blank page

[philipp_m]

Hi all!

I installed OpenEMM 2015 from scratch on a ubuntu server. Everything seems to work well, without one thing:
When I click the administration Tab (in german "Verwaltung" - the last tab on the left side) I get a blank page and the URL is /useractivitylog.do;jsessionid=F79EE9583DBD3277ED4D44AFBFA47206?action=1

When I open the tab in my old Installation of OpenEMM 2013 I get to /profiledb.do;jsessionid=892EE908F4F222ECE625E7E354335B15?action=1

Does anybody have an idea?
Thanks!

When you click on the menu, what does the Tomcat log catalina.out show?

Hi maschoff!

The /home/openemm-2015/logs/catalina.out has no new entry when I click on the menu... the only logfile that changes is the access log:

Code: Select all

"GET /useractivitylog.do;jsessionid=A2EEA532ADB7E27B5C442BB238500C2A?action=1 HTTP/1.1" 200 - "http://www.dekosternews.at/action.do;jsessionid=A2EEA532ADB7E27B5C442BB238500C2A?action=1"

What I found in the catalina.out is an IllegalArgumentException which seems to occur regularly (About 3-4 times a day, but no one is using the server):

Code: Select all

org.apache.coyote.http11.AbstractHttp11Processor process
INFO: Error parsing HTTP request header
 Note: further occurrences of HTTP header parsing errors will be logged at DEBUG level.

The IllegalArgumentException should not be related to the problem you described. Which version of Tomcat do you use?

[philipp_m]

I guessed as much...

I'm running Tomcat Version 8.0.32 on Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS

Hi!

I found a "solution" now. It seems that Since OpenEMM 2015 the Administration Tab is linked to the useractivitylog.do by default. I changed this in the file /home/openemm-2015/webapps/openemm/WEB-INF/classes/navigation/sidemenu.properties

There you can find the lines

Code: Select all

msg_7=Administration
token_7=settings.show
#Default changed for AGNEMM-2891
#href_7=/profiledb.do?action=1
href_7=/useractivitylog.do?action\=1

I changed these to

Code: Select all

msg_7=Administration
token_7=settings.show
#Default changed for AGNEMM-2891
href_7=/profiledb.do?action=1
#href_7=/useractivitylog.do?action\=1

Isn't the real solution, but worked for me.
