I see no mongo servers

[ghost]

I installed the unpacked zip in ~/html/genhigs

In this dir I use .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On

## Uncomment and update the path if Genghis is not in your web root.
RewriteBase /genghis

## Use pretty URLs
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule (.*) genghis.php/$1 [L,QSA]

I can access https:///genghis/genghis.php

I see a page with a Gengis Logo top left and the Text:

Genghis, by Justin Hileman.

Keyboard shortcuts available

but nothing else. No Navigation, so Server selction.
What is my fault?

Does the page have any style? Do you see plain text, or a top bar and grey background and styled Genghis logo?

[ghost]

This afternoon I got a page without the welcome banner.

Now I open and see this.

What have I to enter to add my server?

Do you mind posting a screenshot?

[ghost]

Well, I don't how to put in an screenshot here.
My newest finding is, that it seems to be an IE11 issue because the output differs between Fireforx and IE11.
In Firefox I get an Image with the thext "Welcome to Genghis The single-file MongoDB admin app"
In IE11 I do not see this!
Using Firefox I also see a box with "Servers" and an error that it can not connect to "localhost:27017". How can I add a new Server or Change the Default Connection to use "localhost:20623"?

[ghost]

Well, further investigations and I entered:
mongodb://username:password@localhost:20623
and I get the connection, see databases and collections, Yippiiii!!

So my problem was drilled down to an IE11 issue.

[bobthecow]

I'm glad you worked it out :)

I'll leave this issue open until I get a chance to check out IE11 and see what's up. Thanks for letting me know.

Same issue here: Genghis is not working with IE11. In the JS console, I can see the following error:
"jQuery is undefined".

The related call is located in the HEAD tag:
jQuery(function() { Genghis.boot(''); });

[bobthecow]

jQuery is definitely defined in the JS asset. Are you seeing a 404 or other error when the app gets script.js?

[cedx]

All HTTP requests get a 200 status code, except for scripts.js: a 404 code is returned, and the MIME type is marked as application/json. If a use Chrome or Firefox, I get the expected 200 code and application/x-javascript type.

[cedx]

Some more info: if I try to download the file manually (typing http://my.genghis.vhost/assets/script.js?v=2.3.11 in IE address bar), the content seems OK (400 Kb containing Modernizr, Backbone, etc.).

If I create an assets folder and put the script.js file Inside, in order to let the Web server handle it instead of genghis.php script, the jQuery error disappears but I get another error : A "url" property or function must be specified (this error is also raised when using Chrome or Firefox, so it may be another issue or related to my MongoDB install).

So I think the problem is related to the way genghis.php script serve the assets. My Web server delivers JS files as application/javascript instead of application/x-javascript. Maybe a hidden bug in IE11 with the application/x-javascript MIME type?
