Blank Page on Pithos

[Collins Udanor]

I tried connecting to Pithos from the Astakos Dashboard

- I can login via astakos
- I get redirected to https://node2.example.com/pithos/ui/
- the page shows only a menu bar, but blank, no content on it

-The gunicorn error is below:

Looking in /var/log/synnefo/gunicorn.log I see:

2017-02-04 16:52:23,316 [5643] gunicorn.error glogging [DEBUG] POST /pithos/ui/pithos/ui/pithos/ui/_astakos/identity/tokens/

-The debugger console error:

Can someone assist?

Thanks

I can't see that image, but from Chrome debugger I see:

Error: Failed to resolve authentication params (TypeError: Cannot read property 'token' of undefined)

It looks like there might be an error in the documentation.

At https://www.synnefo.org/docs/synnefo/latest/install-guide-debian.html#id6 it says:

PITHOS_OAUTH2_CLIENT_CREDENTIALS = ("pithos-view", "secret_passw0rd")

but at https://www.synnefo.org/docs/synnefo/latest/install-guide-debian.html#register-pithos-view-as-an-oauth-2-0-client it says:

# snf-manage oauth2-client-add pithos-view --secret=example_passw0rd --is-trusted --url https://node2.example.com/pithos/ui/view

Spot the password mismatch :-)

So I did this:

snf-manage oauth2-client-remove pithos-view

snf-manage oauth2-client-add pithos-view --secret=secret_passw0rd --is-trusted --url https://node2.example.com/pithos/ui/view

and restarted gunicorn on both sides - but unfortunately no difference :-(

On node2 gunicorn is running with --log-level=debug, and I see in /var/log/synnefo/gunicorn.log

2017-02-10 16:14:40 [10796] [DEBUG] GET /pithos/ui/

Aha, "/pithos/ui/pithos/ui/pithos/ui/" is suspicious!

OK: at last I found the problem: UI_BASE_URL had been wrongly set to "pithos/ui/" instead of "/pithos/ui/".  I fixed it and it's OK.

But this does raise a question. At https://www.synnefo.org/docs/synnefo/latest/install-guide-debian.html#installation-of-pithos-on-node2 it says:

For the Pithos UI to be accessible via the /pithos/ui/ endpoint change the UI_BASE_URL setting in the /etc/synnefo/20-snf-ui-settings.conf file to /pithos/ui/.

But that's not a URL, just a path. All the other *_BASE_URL settings are real URLs.  Should this setting actually be https://node2.example.com/pithos/ui/ ?  I tried it, and it doesn't work (the page gives a 404 error now).  So I guess really it is a path that's required, not a URL.

Regards,

Brian.
