Objects massive addition form

Postby Alex H » Thu Nov 08, 2018 9:58 am

Adding objects with the Objects massive addition form results in;

504 Gateway Time-out

Any clues?
Regards

I still get the same error.

Does no-one else add scenery in this way?

Added some +70 objects this way today, no issues, all works as always. Copy here some of these lines to know me if are correct.

Just tried the last line only and it went to the second screen.

Try all the lines and the first screen just sits there until 'gateway timeout'

This is all I'm trying to add

hmh i see, maybe wrong coordinates, unless you want pylons some thousands km away from somalia coasts in the middle of nowhere, also you dont need these zeros but the system just ignores it, just coordinates , object height and orientation. check these coordinates and be sure are correct, maybe near UK?? and try again with the import proccess
PS: Yes, it is, example: object in first line the correct one is: 55.261218 -1.650503

the long / lat is fine (NE England)
here is the console output; from a test i just did;

$ fgfs --aircraft=ufo --lat=55.279486 --lon=-1.721408 --altitude=388.18 --heading=188.7

why the requirement to turn this round, i have no idea, but this is what is asked for by the form

OBJECT_SHARED Models/Power/generic_pylon_50m.ac -1.72101608 55.27647020 59.8637 0.0 0.0 -0.0


I can input 1 line OK it goes to the second confirmation page fairly quickly

Input 2 lines it takes longer but gets there

10 lines - Gateway timeout

This was all Ok 2 weeks ago - I had input over 100 wind turbines and pylons using the mass form

i have now tried from 2 PCs and an android tablet with the same result, so i don't think it's me.

yes, i've tried it and goes like you described. For some reason, massive import dont work on these pylons, with nearly 1M positions to date. Perhaps the last changes in TS server touched something,
PS: Mailed to the devel-list

I don't know whether the back-end code responsible for this is openly available or not (i.e. if we can take a look or not), but depending on the bottleneck/nature of the problem, one relatively simple change would be accepting a compressed text file with the objects/positions to be added.

If the bottleneck/timeout is elsewhere (e.g. between different servers), another thing that might help is not to directly update the database, but instead do those updates in "batches", e.g. by adding cron jobs to spread out the database queries (as in, a simple form of load-balancing).

Obviously, there won't be immediate feedback that way, but the back-end script would merely split up the import and creates batches of import queries and executes those in a staggered fashion - that way, there would be no problem from a timing standpoint, because the CGI (server) side would only ever add cron jobs instead of accessing the database back-end directly.

To make more specific suggestions or to provide patches, one would obviously need to have a look at the corresponding modules (ideally git repo links)
Please don't send support requests by PM, instead post your questions on the forum so that all users can contribute and benefit
Thanks & all the best,
