Comment 1 Bjoern Olausson 2011-09-20 11:27:54 UTC

Yes this is a bug ;-) Thanks for reporting.

The offending line is:

raise Exception("Failed to create %s. (%s, %s)" %(CONFIG_DIR, errno, strerror))


which should read:

raise Exception("Failed to create %s. (%s, %s)" %(CONFIG_DIR, e.errno,
e.strerror))


Despite from the bug, looks like www2sms is unable to create the config dir
(/home/user/MyDocs/www2sms) on your device which is the underlying problem that
triggered the bug in the first place ;-)

Out of Memory? Connect via USB while starting web2sms?

You might want to change the line manually to se what error python throws at
you.
Just add a "e." in front of "errno" and "strerror" in line 530.

Let me know what it tells you then.

Cheers,
Bjoern

Thanks, true, I had ~user/MyDocs accidentally owner by root (it is on ext3 fs).

Unfortunately vodafonesmscz no longer works, they now switched to
park.vodafone.cz site.  I will try if I can update it (it is Python, I would
prefer Perl, C or anything else, maybe to execute external CGI-like plugins?).

This would mean changes to the core app. It would have to go through the entire
QA process and it would have even more dependencies and third, I don't like
Perl at all ;-)

I'll keep that bug open and fix it if there are more serious bugs popping up.
Since the app is supposed to exit when it can't create the config dir, it does
what it should do - in a way or another ;-)

Please open a new bug for vodafonesmscz.

Cheers,
Bjoern

This was the reason why I was suggesting making the provider controllers a
standalone separate executable - "the CGI way".
