Hi Laura,

I’m a fan of kolibri, I upgraded to the latest version, I really like the improvements but I am currently having issues with client capacity of my server. Clients keep on disconnecting from the server. I am having trouble keeping users connected to the server. I did not have this issue with the older version of kolibri.

Have other reported similar issues as mine?

Thanks,

Vic

Hi Victor, in order to diagnose the problem we would need more info:

  • Do the resources load even if you see the disconnect message?
  • How many users do you have accessing to the server simultaneously?

If you have many concurrent users, let’s say more than 30, bearing in mind the changes from the previous versions, there’s something you can try:

     [Server]
     CHERRYPY_THREAD_POOL = 30

You must restart the kolibri server afterwards and test if your clients go better now.
If kolibri doesn’t start you likely broke the syntax of that file. In such case, restore the backup you previously did and attach it here so I can edit it for you.

Hi Dhaakir,

Thanks for reaching out. In regards to the Firefox error, please see the documented fix here. For the missing Khan Academy images, please try updating the KA channel on your installation of Kolibri.

Let me know if this helps!
