Rules upgrade from 2.41 to 3.3

[priel71]

Hi Timur,

Have there been any changes in deps for Rules from 2.4.x to 3.3.x?
Spent today trying to get a webserver on Rocky 9 working, but it hangs after loading the front GUI, says:

"Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)" /server:1

I thought at first it might be php that was not correct setup, but if I run a test file in the cgru folder it does spit out proper php status.

Thanks for any ideas,

Peter.

Hi, Peter!
Rules server 3.3.x was rewritten from PHP to Python.
And now it based on WSGI Python3:

Yeah I saw that when I was poking around in your source code!

I do have it installed,..

---snip---
systemd_module (shared)
cgid_module (shared)
http2_module (shared)
proxy_http2_module (shared)
wsgi_module (shared)

Any way of getting some more logs so I can see what's going on? I can't seem to get much info about why it hangs

You site should have this directives in .conf:

Code: Select all

        WSGIScriptAlias /server /opt/cgru/rules/wsgi.py
        WSGIPassAuthorization On

Thanks Timur, that did the trick.

Would it be a bad idea to point the new rules onto a project folder which has been running with rules 2.4? Have the structure changed or .rule json data changed?
I'm most concerned about loosing stuff ike the body in a shot, and comments etc.. Of course I'd prefer to do this in between jobs, but that's not really an option right now.

It should be compatible.

Did the switch today, but I got something strange happening with the thumbnails and other rules specific files generated, it goes into a folder called "undefined"

#80 21:19:40.345: GetFile cached[scene_bodies]: projects/BAXTER/SCENES/SC003/BK_SC003-0010/undefined/body.html

Any idea what that might be?

[timurhai]

Very strange.
Where did you got Rules?
From 3.3.0 Linux CGRU package?

Better to get the latest version from GitHub.
And serve Rules not from /opt, but from some other custom folder.

In 3.3.0 Rules was just switched to Python.
Now it is 3.3.1 - some bug was fixed.

[priel71]

Yeah I got it from Github, running 3.3.1 now
Serving rules from a studio-wide share, so not from /opt

I think perhaps the "undefined" folder came from me doing a thumbnails process... because I can only see it in the project I did it in, not the others.

This is what the thumbnail source looks like when I view at SCENES level in rules:
