Hi Adam and all

as promised, here an update. Yes, the " get_http_request() exit with timeout " depend by the geocoding module. Many thanks again for the hint. Trying to disable it: // $config['geocoding']['enable'] = false; // It completely disappears... but... unfortunately also disappears the correct device positioning on the main map, even if the devices has fixed coord. (lat/lon) defined with the gui. That's an unwanted drawback, the positioning function is appreciable. So I tryed to "corrupt" the geoloc. request to inhibit it, instead of the module, removing the parameter:

// $config['geocoding']['api'] = 'yahoo'; // and also using unsupported values (es. random strings), but the http_request still goes on. (I was also not able to capture it with wireshark, I'm curious to understand the request ...)

Any other idea ? Thanks a lot I.

Hi Adam

the reported error is a little bit foggy, but I wasn't able to find other details on it.

Many thanks for your hint, it could be the target.

I'll investigate on it and keep the list informed.

Regards I.

I'm not exactly sure what http request it's whinging about in the poller, probably device geolocation. You can probably ignore it if the devices not having correct geolocations isn't important to you. Adam. Sent from BlueMail

Hi all

does anyone ever met the following timeout error message during the polling cycle ? Any idea on what's the impact and how to solve ?

Hi Max,

thanks for your reply. I already tried to use other api and def. lat/long values, but nothing changed. The server doesn't have any external connections (w/o internet). It is in a lab environment so that any external request will produce an error.

I think the only solution is to be able to stop the extern. req. made by geo-api, without stop the web/graphic functionalities which are really useful.

Thanks, regards

I.

=========================================== Here below my Geocoding Configuration section:

$config['geocoding']['enable'] = true; // Enable Geocoding of addresses. If disabled, best to disable the map on mainpage $config['geocoding']['dns'] = FALSE; // Try to use DNS LOC records for detect device coordinates (disabled by default). $config['geocoding']['api'] = 'google'; // Supported API to resolve LOC: mapquest, google, yandex, yahoo and openstreetmap. $config['geocoding']['default']['lat'] = "46.077844"; // Default latitude for new dwvices w/o valid coordinates $config['geocoding']['default']['lon'] = "11.115950"; // Default longitude for new devices w/o valid coordinates $config['location_menu_geocoded'] = true; // Build location menu with geocoded data.

Hi Ivan,

I had the same problem as you, ended up using Google-api for geo location and also added

$config['geocoding']['default']['lat'] = "59.334415"; // Default latitude $config['geocoding']['default']['lon'] = "18.110103"; // Default longitude

Then the errors stoped for me.
