V1 Hotfix 1 (10180)

These are the fixes included in the linux application platform V1 hotfix 1. Definition

linux: ntpdate does not work

Status	Closed
Id	63813

ntpdate returns always "no server suitable for synchronization found". This was working before updating to squeeze.

linux: cron jobs not working inside same file

Status	Closed
Id	63916

Apparently only one job can be defined in each file. Create a different file for each job. this is anyway better since it is now easier to handle.

linux: xml validation and escape in uninstall script

Status	Closed
Id	64003

We hadn't escaped the application xml file. This is needed in de-installation process

Linux: hotfix/application installation archives filename needn't start with install

Status	Closed
Id	64427

Currently the filename of a hotfix/application installation archive must start with "install".
This is not neccessary any more.

linux: config restoration of innovaphone files failed

Status	Closed
Id	64453

It failed because three defines (certServer, certServerKey, certServerCert) started with "certServer" and grep was matching the three of them. Status: /usr/local/bin/config.sh

linuxap: check public and private key of uploaded certificate

Status	Closed
Id	65200

The private and public key of an uploaded certificate will be checked now, before it is used as a certificate replacement of the web server.
Without this check, a wrong certificate causes the web server to not start again.

linux: only 100 fcgi requests simultaneously allowed

Status	Closed
Id	66477

we accept 80 requests so far but the 81 request will be also processed and this would probably cause a crash.

linux: lighttpd webdav write flag

Status	Closed
Id	63552

modify lighttpd sources to behave like innovaphone boxes. If the user is authenticated, the readonly flag is overwritten.

Linux: show version and time on web interface

Status	Closed
Id	64231

Version and time are now shown on the web interface.

Linux: download all application log files, not just the current one

Status	Closed
Id	64422

Only the current application log has been downloaded.
Now, also previous logs are included in the download.

Linux: copy log files to fat partition during linux booting

Status	Closed
Id	64816

syslog and some other files will be copied to the fat partition. So we will have more information in case Linux is not booting properly.

Reporting: separate authentication for reporting web access

Status	Closed
Id	64875

It is now possible to configure a separate authentication to the innovaphone reporting web site.

linux: new SSL certificate

Status	Closed
Id	65742

new SSL certificate for linux since the existing one expires in November. The new one will run forever but certificate.php will throw a warning while this certificate is not substituded.

V1 Hotfix 2 (10196)

These are the fixes included in the linux application platform V1 hotfix 2. Definition

Reporting: check if database is being restored before writing a CDR

Status	Closed
Id	66757

avoid writing a CDR to the DB if it is being restored since this could corrupt the DB.
This CDR will be sent by the PBX again since Linux is responding with 500 HTTP Error Code.

Cumulative hotfix installation script didn't apply second hotfix

Status	Closed
Id	66917

As the version of the previously installed hotfix hasn't been set properly.

Linux: add index.html, index.htm and index.php to lighttpd config

Status	Closed
Id	67328

redirect to index.html, index.htm, index.php or application.php when ../ is requested.

V1 Hotfix 3 (10200)

These are the fixes included in the linux application platform V1 hotfix 3. Definition

Reporting: ldap results were not escaped

Status	Closed
Id	68654

any string must be 'postgresql' escaped before inserting it into the DB.

V1 Hotfix 4 (10236)

These are the fixes included in the linux application platform V1 hotfix 4. Definition

Viewing log files with invalid chars now possible

Status	Closed
Id	71716

Viewing log files with invalid chars is now possible over the diagnostics page.

dynamic list row add/remove doesn't trigger page to top any more

Status	Closed
Id	71957

Adding or removing a line of a dynamic list doesn't trigger the jump to the page top any more.

possibility to clear log files

Status	Closed
Id	71714

Log files can be cleared now.
Just system specific log files can't be cleared.

added trace level option

Status	Closed
Id	71857

There is now the possibility to enable further tracing levels.

V1 Hotfix 5 (10276)

These are the fixes included in the Linux application platform V1 hotfix 5. Definition

linux: added non-blocking option on flock() call for log files

Status	Closed
Id	71838

The flock() call was eventually blocking if the lock could not be acquired. If we do not get the lock after ten attempts, the log trace will be lost.

removed maxlength from Command File Url/Web/WebDav paths

Status	Closed
Id	73261

no maxlength=60 anymore for these fields.

linux: calculation of remaining space for the new partition

Status	Closed
Id	71925

hdparm is a better tool to calculate how big the remaining space in the compact flash is. So far we used parted but it is less precise.

reporting: send reports per email

Status	Closed
Id	72391

Reports can be now sent per email.

V1 Hotfix 6 (10282)

These are the fixes included in the Linux application platform V1 hotfix 6. Definition

Linux: restart NTP process if not running

Status	Closed
Id	74930

if NTP is not running the date will be probably wrong and some services will not run (report mails)

report mails with non latin1 chars in mail name

Status	Closed
Id	75667

The mail name has to be correctly encoded to be correctly parsed by cron.

Linux: vm not being installed

Status	Closed
Id	76020

due to the presence of CDROM, DVD or Card Reader, parted command was outputting different data as expected. Therefore, wrong data was read and installation script quit.

linux: change timezone

Status	Closed
Id	75849

ntp does not recognize timezones, it manages information based on UTC.

reporting: create log files with rsyslog

Status	Closed
Id	76015

this new method presents some advantages:

- avoid flock from failing.
- readability

the general log will be kept for more general things.

V1 Hotfix 7 (10285)

These are the fixes included in the Linux application platform V1 hotfix 7. Definition

rsyslog logged to multiple files

Status	Closed
Id	76825

rsyslog config has been changed now, so a local log will be just written to one log file.

log rotation did not work correctly

Status	Closed
Id	76828

the logrotate script has been modified now to correctly rotate the log files with subsequent rsyslog reload.

Linux: Hotfix installations may fail due to debian packages partially installed

Status	Closed
Id	77250

if a debian package is only partially installed, no new package can be installed until the former package gets installed or removed.
Hotfix installations should always work since we provide all necessary debian packages and the AP should remain in an stable state after installation but if the user installs other applications or packages the system maybe in an unstable state.
Therefore, we now check if packages can be installed before we try to install a hotfix.

linux: certicate file wrongly parsed if no newline character at the end

Status	Closed
Id	77319

sh script was not reading the last line since the newline character was not present at the end of the file

linux: delete tmp files from FAT partition

Status	Closed
Id	77875

when Linux boots some files are copied to the FAT partition but they are never deleted. That means, they'll eat up the memory. Old files will be now removed before copying new ones.

moved/changed some shared code for future innovaphone applications

Status	Closed
Id	77381

Some shared code has been moved for future innovaphone applications for the linux application platform.

V1 Hotfix 8 (10288)

These are the fixes included in the Linux application platform V1 hotfix 8. Definition

some preperations for web interface translations

Status	Closed
Id	78428

Changed some small things for future web interface translations.

Linux: configuring NTP server does not work if config file does not exist

Status	Closed
Id	79482

ntpd process uses following config file /var/lib/ntp/ntp.conf.dhcp but this file was missing in one installation, maybe because DHCP is not in use.
if this file does not exist, we use now default one "/etc/ntp.conf".

V1 Hotfix 9 (10294)

These are the fixes included in the Linux application platform V1 hotfix 9. Definition

Linux: mail configuration: make user, password and port optional

Status	Closed
