We run ten web sites running Vista 8.0.3 hf1 where the installs are 99% automated by internally developed scripts. In discussing removing some old monitoring, we discovered one of them has on average 20 times more of the BEA-101017 error than the others. So I went looking for what is causing so many of these errors.<\/p>\n
About 9270 of the 9613 in the yet to be rolled logs for BEA-101017 all had to do with “Invalid resource properties – specify path or object id but not both-https:\/\/site.view.usg.edu\/webct\/RelativeResourceManager”. Suspected these exception errors should show in the web server log with the 500 HTTP code for “Server Error”. A simple way to identify them:<\/p>\n
grep RelativeResourceManager webserver.log | grep -w 500<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Armed with the content=9999999999 value, I used grep to locate which web pages called this URL.<\/p>\n
grep -B 10 9999999999 webserver.log | head -50<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
This pointed me to looking in the HTML for custom web pages. I found CSS using the offending URL as a repeating background for the headers on a navigation bar. There is a blue background color. This image displays a vertical gradient for the same blue. Essentially a fancier version which no one noticed has not worked in the past 7 months. The failure isn’t because of the CSS. This just tells the browser to call the image so if putting the URL in the address bar doesn’t work then I wouldn’t expect the browser to call it from the HTML.<\/p>\n
What makes this worse is the image file exists in System Files where it ought to reside for this to work. Also, the URL used appears to make a difference in this case but not others. Other images used on the page work and reside in the same folder in Vista as the failing URL.<\/p>\n
Fails:<\/strong> https:\/\/site.view.usg.edu\/webct\/RelativeResourceManager?content=99999999999
\nWorks:<\/strong> https:\/\/site.view.usg.edu\/webct\/urw\/lc999999.tp999\/RelativeResourceManager?contentID=99999999999<\/p><\/blockquote>\nEven worse? Both fail on the test cluster using the content id for that file in that system.<\/p>\n
SOLVED: <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
Overlooked the bad variable “content=”. It should be “contentID=”. Vista doesn’t respond with something like, Content is not a valid variable for the RelativeResourceManager.<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/ol>\n
P.S. I like grep’s -w flag as it requires spaces around the word. When looking for a number in a web server log, there is a big difference between 500 and 2132500232234. Both would show up for just “grep 500”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
