MythWeb sessions no longer working

[Malcolm Parsons]

Binary package hint: mythplugins

MythWeb sessions worked in Edgy, but after upgrading to Feisty they don't.

MythWeb doesn't remember recorded program sort order, upcoming recordings display settings, etc.

[Kees Cook (kees)]

I did not have this problem with upgrading. Perhaps the /etc/mythtv files are not set with the correct permissions for the web server to view them?

malcolm@trillian:~$ ls -ld /etc/mythtv/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-07-14 20:09 /etc/mythtv/

-rw-r----- 1 mythtv www-data 6299 2007-07-14 20:09 /etc/mythtv/mythweb-htaccess

MythWeb is able to connect to the backend.
MythWeb is able to show recorded and upcoming programs.

It is just the session settings that are not working.

How can I debug this problem?

18:55 < keescook> yeah, I must have totally misunderstood it. Can you add some
                  details on what you'd expect and what happens to that bug
                  report?

Goto http://localhost/mythweb/tv/upcoming
    There are 4 tick boxes - Scheduled, Duplicates, Deactivated, Conflicts.
    They are all ticked.
Untick one.
    The page reloads.
    The box is unticked.
Click on "Upcoming Recordings"
    The page reloads.
    Expected:The box is still unticked.
    Actual:The box is ticked.

This worked in Edgy.
It doesn't work in Feisty or Gutsy.

A fix to init.php and session.php to get mythweb sessions working is in the following post
