DTV 3.5x with TivoWebPlus, /showing/ not working

[tedder]

When I go to an entry title, I get this:


INTERNAL SERVER ERROR
--cut here--
action_showing '/5347665/358' ''

I already did the DB patch to get it working, but apparently something else is wrong. Ideas?

I've found (http://64.21.8.90/forum/showthread.php?t=28623&goto=nextnewest) a couple (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?p=2595036) of threads (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=280823) where people mention this, but no solution.

-tedFirst, look for errors in your tivoweb.log file (under Logs). If the initial loading of index fails, lots of downstream problems show up. Most likely, your problem is the same as this one (http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?p=256009&postcount=336), and needs the same fix.

[tedder]

Yeah, I already did that fix (that's what I meant by DB patch). You're right, though- there was an error during the initial load:

apgboot and genres is what the error (above) is about; what do I need to do to fix this?

apgboot and genres is what the error (above) is about; what do I need to do to fix this?Hmmm. I believe ApgBoot is created automatically after the DTiVo first communicates with the satellite. I don't know how to create it otherwise. Is the DTiVo able to receive shows from the satellite?

Hmmm. I believe ApgBoot is created automatically after the DTiVo first communicates with the satellite. I don't know how to create it otherwise. Is the DTiVo able to receive shows from the satellite?

Yes, it operates normally.

So, there should be a file in the root directory called ApgBoot? I see an entry, /dev/apg, but no /ApgBoot.

[SteveT]

Yes, it operates normally.

So, there should be a file in the root directory called ApgBoot? I see an entry, /dev/apg, but no /ApgBoot.No, not in root, but in the MFS filesystem. Browse it by using the MFS link in TWP. ApgBoot should show up on the very first page.

[tedder]

Ah. Yeah, it's there:

ApgBoot tyDb 5379626 05/10/06 04:11 10088

I'll do a couple of reboots and see what happens.

[tedder]

Hey, it works now. I wonder if it was a dependency issue- ie tivoweb started too early? Weird, I've never had trouble before.
