Troubleshooting improvement #17

Closed neagix closed 10 years ago

neagix commented 10 years ago

If no "host" is specified in querystring, the sa_report.cgi output tells little about what's going wrong and shows an empty page.

I suggest that there is somewhere (footer?) a line saying: "HOST is $HOST" or something along those lines to give a clue.

Maybe even better show an error saying "No host provided"

This would save some time to the next newbie trying to troubleshoot what's wrong :)

What version are you using ? If you remove the host value you should go directly to the front page to choose the host in multihost report or directly to the main page in a single host environment.

If you try to specify a wrong hostname you will have this kind of error:

ERROR: Can't open directory /usr/local/sendmailanalyzer/data/bah: No such file or directory

I suppose that you are using an old release.

Oups forgot to ask you to post here the query you are using.

I am using version 9.0 and no querystring at all. I have to say that now for some reason the home page is not empty anymore, it behaves precisely as when specifying ?host=mydomain.com

Is something stored somewhere when that querystring is accessed the 1st time? Because as far as I recall it has worked fine only after the 1st time I accessed it with querystring, while instead right after setup (and after creating cache and data directories) it was blank.

I have no proxies and were using Ctrl+Shift+R to reload

Maybe a special case, let me know if it occurs again.
