ajaxterm does not work in daemon mode

[Nikolaus Rath]

Binary package hint: ajaxterm

When started with --daemon (as done in the init.d script), ajaxterm only serves the very first page on my system. Immediately afterwards, I get 'Connection error status:502' in the first line right after 'Get'. When started without --daemon, everything works fine. Unfortunately ajaxterm doesn't seem to do any logging when started in daemon mode, so there are no error messages.

exactly the same for me.

Hi,

What is the contents of /etc/default/ajaxterm?

what happens if you start ajaxterm with --daemon as root in a console?

Cheers,
Julien

In /etc/default/ajaxterm everything is commented out. ajaxterm is started as
  python /usr/share/ajaxterm/ajaxterm.py --daemon --port=8022 --serverport=22 --uid=ajaxterm

Running this in a root shell just gives
  AjaxTerm at http://localhost:8022/ pid: 4604

As Nikolaus wrote, without --daemon it works fine.

Hi,

When starting as root in a shell, can you connect to ajaxterm on port 8022?

Cheers,

From the initial comment: "When started with --daemon (as done in the init.d script), ajaxterm only serves the very first page on my system. Immediately afterwards, I get 'Connection error status:502' in the first line right after 'Get'."

Same prob here, working fine without daemon. On Ubuntu 10.04

Hi,

Hi,

Following to a similar bug reported on Debian, we have found that this kind of bug was caused by using a non UTF-8 locale, or similarly, when using non UTF-8 encoded filenames.

See: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=608340

Cheers,

Is there a work around for this that still allows you to use Daemon mode?

my locale was previously set to "LANG=" - however I've now updated it to UTF8...

Thanks; Dave
