Settings.ini.php Error

[Shadow229]

Something is changing the settings.ini.php file making muximux not load through localhost.

After refreshing the webpage and muximux not loading I checked the nginx error log and get various errors - some examples below:

2020/10/04 15:55:49 [error] 341#341: *713 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Warning: syntax error, unexpected '"' in settings.ini.php on line 71

2020/10/04 15:54:25 [error] 340#340: *670 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Warning: syntax error, unexpected BOOL_TRUE in settings.ini.php on line 16

Most of the time its these, with the line in question being different depending on where the change has happened.

for example, this one just happened:

2020/10/04 16:47:35 [error] 340#340: *822 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Warning: syntax error, unexpected '"' in settings.ini.php on line 47

when checking in the setting file, it looks like its randomly added an extra start to an object for portainer in there:

`[Plex]
name = "Plex"
url = "http://localhost:32400/web/index.html"
scale = 1
icon = "muximux-plex"
color = 1
icon = "muximux-plex"
color = "#f9be03"
enabled = "true"
default = "true"

[Portainer]
namefault = "true"

[Portainer]
namealhost:9000/#/home"
scale = 1
icon = "muximux-important_devices"
color = "#1a1bfe"
enabled = "true"`

Removing that allows it to work again, but its different things every time. Sometimes its too jumbled to bother working out what should / shouldn't be there so I've just got a working backup of it and keep swapping out it for the one that works - but its annoying having to do this quite frequently when trying to use it.

Searching for the same issue I think it looks like this has been closed before because it can't be replicated - but its definitely an issue for me.

Thanks

That's most certainly a muximux issue rather than a docker one. You should report it upstream. We only package their app in a docker image.

Thanks for getting back to me @aptalca. I've reported this directly to mescon/muximux. For anyone looking for an answer to this - that report is here
