deploy modules throws "Undefined function conf:rewrite error"

[garyrusso]

I'm getting an ERROR: 500 "Internal Server Error" whenever I run the "ml local deploy modules" command. It looks like it's not a fatal error because I'm able to view the 3-column search page.

This is the full error.

I see this is a dupe from last year. [http://markmail.org/thread/4zji3dqg7oteaseo]

@dmcassel has a nice workaround for the Roxy rewriter on ML8 in this PR: #588

(Or of course, if you are able to, use a different rewriter)

[dmcassel]

... and I'd love to get feedback on that workaround.

Hi all,

I new to MarkLogic and XQuery and have a problem with the workarround. It fixes the conf:rewrite error but in stead I get another error: Need privilege: http://marklogic.com/xdmp/privileges/xdmp-get-server-field. I have no clue how to set this privillege because in my securtiy settings I can't find this privilege.

Help is welcome and thanks for the fix/workarround.

Kind regards,
Henry

Hi @driekus77 ,

First, determine what user you are running the query as. Second, determine which roles are assigned to that user. Finally, ensure that at least one of those roles contains the proper privilege.

You can find all of these settings in the "Security" section of the admin console. Or you can set these in your ml-config.xml file and bootstrap again with Roxy.

Happy to help,
Rob

@garyrusso This is a dupe of #416, which was closed in the past as wontfix. @dmcassel did open PR #588 with a more robust workaround, but even that can be considered fragile. It still relies on code that likely will disappear in future..

@garyrusso By the way, you'd make Dave very happy if you could try out that PR, and let us know if that worked for you or not.

@grtjn @dmcassel Sorry for the delayed feedback. I've been using the dynamic rule lookup PR for the past few weeks and it's working well.

Fixed in dev..
