CSWB startup problems

My apologies if this question has been answered; I don't see anything related in the Forum search.

Environment:
VMS V8.3 Alpha
TCPware V5.7-2
CSWB V1.7-13

I have had this problem since VMS V7.3-2, TCPware V5.6-2, and an earlier version of CSWB. The CSWB startup procedure "hangs", without producing a browser window. I can get a "splash" screen using the "-splash" switch, and VMS Mosaic works fine on the same setup.

When I set the debugging option, (VMS_TRACE_FILENAMES) the process hangs reliably at:

open_Jacket: Mapped: /user2/vms$common/cswb/chrome/overlayinfo/navigator/content
/overlays.rdf To: /user2/vms$common/cswb/chrome/overlayinfo/navigator/content/ov
erlays.rdf

The mozilla.log shows *many* polling messages:

28513024[1b08008]: calling PR_Poll [active=0 idle=0]
28513024[1b08008]: PR_Poll timed out

I could attach complete file debugging output, but it's quite large; I'm hoping this is a "known problem", and that I won't need to supply log/debug output.

Anyone else see this behavior?

Thanks,
Brad Hamilton

Re: CSWB startup problems

It works fine for me with the field test version of TCPware 5.8.

What patches are installed? (VMS and TCPware.) How are you starting CSWB?

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping that someone from Process would answer!

I haven't installed V5.8 yet; waiting for Hunter's invite :-)

This is how I start CSWB:

Re: CSWB startup problems

There aren't any significant differences between the patches that you have installed and TCPware 5.8 as far as getting CSWB to work.

What are the process quotas?

Re: CSWB startup problems

Hi Richard,


Process quotas (for a system with 768Mb of memory and 1.5Gb of pagefile) are as follows:

Maxjobs: 0 Fillm: 4095 Bytlm: 1122030
Maxacctjobs: 0 Shrfillm: 0 Pbytlm: 0
Maxdetach: 0 BIOlm: 4095 JTquota: 4096
Prclm: 10 DIOlm: 12285 WSdef: 81919
Prio: 4 ASTlm: 12385 WSquo: 81919
Queprio: 0 TQElm: 100 WSextent: 393216
CPU: (none) Enqlm: 4096 Pgflquo: 3145728

I've been using the freely-available SHOW_QUOTA.COM to monitor process quotas while starting CSWB. I hardly scratch the surface (1-3%) of any of the quotas monitored.

Thanks,
Brad

Re: CSWB startup problems

You've got more memory and higher quotas on the system that it works for me on.

Sorrt, but I don't have any more ideas at this point.

Re: CSWB startup problems

Hi Richard,

Thanks for trying. I REMOVE'd and re-INSTALL'ed the kits, this time placing them on the system disk, in the default location. I didn't really think this change would make a difference, and I was right. :-(

Has anyone else seen this problem? It's been frustrating me for a couple of years now.

Re: CSWB startup problems

Some more information:

I originally reported that VMS Mosaic works fine in this environment. This evening, I remembered that there was a version of Netscape for VMS (3.03). I installed that version this evening, and Netscape runs fine, as well.

Re: CSWB startup problems

I removed TCPware 5.8 from my system and installed TCPware 5.7-2 and DRIVERS_V572p050 and CSWB SWB V1.7-13 starts fine.

What are you using for a display and is the network configured?
