Thanks Keith.
I gave it another try following your hints. Here are more notes, again
from a newbie approach. I found many issues:
1- Minor: Default port
The default proposed port is 8080. This conflict with usual Tomcat
installation. Changing the text to 9090 does not seem to change the
;-) I think that tomcat is conflicting with a usual seaside, or any
other server configuration.
underlying hot link. Being new to Squeak, I do not
know how to change
that.
I'm a bit rusty on that myself.
I had to do the classic highlight+do it. I would
recommend
changing the default port or let the user choose themselves (remove
the hot link).
2- Major: Froze Squeak clicking 'Over' in the debugger
Going to seaside/config then Pier>Magma I got an error about a
filestream (more about that below). I clicked debugged. Inspected the
variables in Squeak. I found that a directory was set to c:/tmp/magma.
I thought that maybe the issue was with the Windows path (\ vs. /). I
changed a variable and clicked Over. Oops... Squeak would not respond
anymore to any click. The web site still worked. How does one unfreeze
Squeak in such situation? Crtl-C did nothing.
Squeak uses ctrl '.' as a user interrupt, as in ctrl 'stop'. Its
an
apple thing, or at least it was an apple thing.
I have had this problem or very similar to what you describe. Sometimes
using the website unfreezes the squeak ui. I am using (knoppix) linux,
and I solved it once and for all by going back to vm version 3.6-3,
which predates some newer IO code.
3- Critical: Magma error following instructions
I removed every thing and started over: fresh 3.9 Squeak + fresh SMP
image. Following the How To I clicked on PRMagmaRepository > create. I
got an error:
Repository Path Setting: magma
c:\dev\Squeak\SMP\magma\objects not found
The above file and directory do exist...
they should be created when you click on 'create', it can take some time
to complete.
I dont think that you need to manually create the 'magma' directory.
Other than that I dont know.
I admire your persistence, if you pardon the pun,
It sure worked more easily for me.
I am planning to release an updated SMP image later this week.
