Odd problem with hosts 1.10 pkg ...

[bob selby]

Actually it's not the hosts pkg as such that has the problem, that seems to be OK.

If I add an "include" by editing the "hosts.include" file via the console it works fine.

But, if I try to add it via the web interface with "add-include" it doesnt complain, but the update doesnt appear in the "hosts.include" file and not in the "view-include" menu either.

I am running 0.4.3 (I believe).

I have tried changing the permissions on the file to no effect.

Any ideas ??

I'm sure this was working before

I tried that and it still failed (BTW it was a link in /etc to the expected file)

It's almost like a permissions issue ... but I get no errors or warnings.

edit --- I've fiddled about a bit more and it seems that I can add excludes OK - just not includes

edit again --- being a suspicious old git I tried IE as the browser and it worked !!
so ... it seems to be a compatability issue with Firefox 13.0 ... I'm sure it worked with Firefox before ... so I'm not sure what's changed.

Thanks for your help

A bit more info ...

Under Firefox 13.01 from work (tunneling in via SSH) I get the following status on the web interface :-

ADD-INCLUDE
Adding URLs [www.dribble.com]... Memory fault
Done

ACTIVATING CHANGES
Stopping dnsmasq.... Done
Starting DNS... Done port 53 secure

But it did actually manage to add the URL OK

"Memory fault" looks suspicious ...

Interesting the difference between FF 13.0 and 13.1

Here is the report.txt you wanted.

Just a point ...

I noticed that you provide a new 404.html" error file ... but shouldn't it be called "err404.html" and put in "/www/errors" and not "/www/error" ??

I am using "thhtpd" so perhaps that explains the difference ??

Ah - I see

OK - So, it's probably about time I "bit the bullet" and upgraded to 0.4.4 ??

I have installed the patches but I guess they dont do the whole upgrade.

I hesitate to upgrade just for this (since I can do it via a direct editor) since I have tailored the system quite a lot.

Is 0.4.4 the latest or are you close to producing 0.5.0 or 0.4.5 ??

Interestingly, last night I reinstalled "mc" since it was behaving a bit oddly when viewing files and the problem *seems* to have gone away, even with FF ... needs more testing. Very strange - I guess a shared DLL got updated ??
