[Galene] Server error: illegal group name

[Galene] Server error: illegal group name

[Rémi Nollet]

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with my Galene server and was hoping someone could help me.

When I try to connect a group, such as
https://galene.letrec.fun/group/public/
I get two red alert messages :
     Disconnected
and
     The server said: illegal group name.

I see nothing in the console.

This group description in groups/public.json is:

{
   "public": true,
   "op": [{"username":"remi"}],
   "presenter": [{}],
   "max-clients": 100
}

Note that when I try to connect a non-existing group, such as
https://galene.letrec.fun/group/trululu
I get the expected Page not found error.

I am using the last master (7d01f0339b0c195ab5d4b374595a0b2d1838c7ae).

Note also that I recently updated the binary after a long period of 
inactivity, so I may be missing a change in the configuration. But after 
carefully reading the doc on galene.org, I could not see what I am doing 
wrong.

Do you have any idea where my problem might come from?

Thanks in advance,

Could you please empty your browser cache and confirm that the problem
persists?  Your issue could be due to the Javascript client being out of
sync with the server.

(I really need to start versioning the protocol, but it needs to be done
just right.)

It looks like you copied the server binary, but kept the old Javascript.
You need to upgrade all of the files under 'static/'

I really need to give a useful error message in this case.

That is exactly what happened.
I rsynced it and it works perfectly.
Thank you Juliusz!
(I feel a bit silly.)

I therefore agree on the fact that it would sometimes be useful. ^^
