active brandmeister connections not showing

Post by AF4FA »

Since the last updates were applied to vn 4.1.0 RC7 over the weekend I am noticing that the active brandmeister connections are not showing any more on the Admin page. Any one else seeing this?

You're not alone, and BM Manager doesn't work either.

Apply this patch and it will work again (related to User-Agent).

Cheers.

Can I just copy this into the SSH screen and execute it?

No, the correct way is, first copy it, unzipped, to your pi-star (let say in the pi-star's user home-directory), then connect via ssh:

cd /var/www/dashboard
rpi-rw
patch -p1 < /home/pi-star/BM_API_fix.diff
rpi-ro


that's it.

Cheers.

Attachment removed - I am talking to the BM devs about why they are blocking this access.

More information to follow.

Thanks for doing the work here, and now I have spoken to BM - the dashboard has been patched to include a custom user agent (rather than faking one) that also helps the BM guys see where the requests come from - update and you will be back in action.

I just did the sudo pistar-update followed by the sudo pistar-upgrade and all is well. I am upgraded to RC8 and the brandmeister connections are working again. Thank you to all involved for getting it fixed so quickly.
