RE: BatchServe v5: Can't delete job anymore!

[Sébastien Dion <sdion(at)Softimage.COM>]

The Delete button not showing is a problem of user access. If your are logged in as guest, you will no be able to delete a job (you won't even see the delete button)

HI Olly

 

    In order to install the new BatchServe you only add to unzip the new version on top of the old server folder and then reset the database. This is all explained in the setup file at the end, in the upgrading BatchServe server. There is no need to reinstall Apache,Mysql and PHP. The delete job button should still be there.

 

Upgrading an Existing BatchServe Server Installation

---

Upgrading your BatchServe Server to a newer version is a simple matter of updating the server files, resetting the database (if necessary), and restarting your Apache and MySQL services.

Upgrading the Server Files

To upgrade the BatchServe server files:

Overwrite the Server folder in your C:\batchserve\ directory with the updated Server folder on the BatchServe CD.
Once the folder is overwritten, you may need to reset the BatchServe database and upload the tables again.

Restart the MySQL and Apache services.

Resetting the BatchServe Database

Should you need to reset the BatchServe database, you can do so using the following procedure.

Open a text editor (Notepad, for example) and write the following lines into a new text file:

	delete from user where User='xsi_client';
	delete from user where User='xsiclient';
	delete from user where User='xsi_server';
	delete from user where User='xsiserver';
	delete from db where User='xsi_client';
	delete from db where User='xsiclient';
	delete from db where User='xsi_server';
	delete from db where User='xsiserver';
	drop database XSI_R; 

Save the file as c:\reset_batchserve.sql
Open DOS command prompt.
Change to the c:\batchserve\mysql\bin directory.
Type the following:

	mysql -uroot -p mysql <enter> 
 

Enter the MySQL root password when prompted. If you have not set a root password, press Enter.

Type the following:

	mysql> source c:\reset_batchserve.sql <enter> 
 

This will reset the BatchServe database using the reset_batchserve.sql file you created earlier.

Type the following:

	exit <enter> 
 

This exits the command-line MySQL monitor. You may now close the command prompt.

Choose Run from the Windows Start menu and type:

	http://localhost/update.php 

Click the Update button to upload the XSI_R.sql file.

Hi folks,

 

Our techie here has updated to the new Batchserve v1.5.4 / Apache 1.3.31 / PHP 4.2.3 (it’s all Greek to me!)

 

I noticed that the DELETE button is now missing from the Job list page (tsk!), so have attempted numerous times to go into a particular render job and hit the “Delete Job” button but it does absolutely nothing at all.  So I’m rendering frames that I know are wrong coz the client has changed their mind since I submitted the job. 

 

Is this a bug with the new version? Is there something we can change to fix it?

Anyone else had this problem?

 

Cheers,

 

Olly : )
