Here come the server console printouts: <pre> Fossil version no such variable: manifest_version no such variable: manifest_date Status: 200 OK Cache-control: private Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Length: 87 <p><font color="red">no such repository: (null)</font></p><div class="content"></div><div class="footer"> Fossil version no such variable: manifest_version no such variable: manifest_date <hr><p><font color="red"><b>ERROR: no such variable: manifest_date</b></font></p> </pre> <hr> <i>DRH replies:</i><br> I think this problem has been fixed in more recent versions of fossil. However, I am away from my office and cannot rebuild until this weekend. If you can download the latest code and recompile yourself, it might solve your problem. <hr> <hr><i>On 2008-06-08 05:08:53 UTC anonymous added:</i><br /> While using mingw compilled Fossil (version [3f706b92a5] from 2008-06-06) on Win XP SP2, server console printout produces similar output. It spawn empty browser window. <verbatim> c:\soft\bin>fossil new myrep fossil: unable to open database file [sqlite table myrep is created anyway] c:\soft\bin>fossil ui myrep Listening for HTTP requests on TCP port 8080 Launch webbrowser: start http://127.0.0.1:8080/ Type Ctrl-C to stop the HTTP server Status: 200 OK Cache-control: private Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Length: 311 <p><font color="red">repository does not exists or is in an unreadable directory : (null)</font></p> Fossil version no such variable: manifest_version no such variable: manifest_dat e<hr><p><font color="red"><b>ERROR: no such variable: manifest_date</b></font></ p> </verbatim> <hr><i>On 2008-06-08 15:53:08 UTC drh added:</i><br /> This problem should now be fixed. Either recompile using the latest source code or else download the latest precompiled binary. Thanks for the bug report. Please let me know if you find any other issues. <hr> <hr><i>On 2008-06-08 21:30:57 UTC anonymous (claiming to be PF) added:</i><br /> Thank you for prompt fix, your precompiled binary works nicely. (it was little intriguing to get past login page, till I figured out that I can update user table in my repository with login and pw values) Since then it seems to be working fine. Maybe another issue would be with clone command. It seems not to clone and still complain about being not able to open database. <verbatim> c:\soft\bin>fossil clone http://www.fossil-scm.org/ myclone.fossil fossil: unable to open database file c:\soft\bin>fossil new myclone.fossil fossil: unable to open database file c:\soft\bin>fossil new myclone.fossil fossil: table blob already exists c:\soft\bin>fossil clone http://www.fossil-scm.org/ myclone.fossil fossil: unable to open database file <\verbatim> <hr> <hr><i>On 2008-07-08 21:22:43 UTC anonymous added:</i><br /> <nowiki><pre> c:\soft\bin>fossil.exe info myrep fossil.exe: unable to open database: C:\Documents and Settings\myuser\Data aplikacÝ/_fossil ATTACH DATABASE 'C:\Documents and Settings\myuser\Data aplikacÝ/_fossil' AS configdb profiling:C:\soft\msys\home\myuser\fossil/merge.gcda:Invocation mismatch - some dat a files may have been removed or concurrent update without locking support Z 1faff750de27f26e3b21290d612bcd87
