Mythweb on RPI4 mythtv backend failing

[jfabernathy]

I just did a fresh install of mythtv with a backend on a RPI 4 4GB using
Mike B's pi-utils.https://github.com/MikeB2013/pi-utils This usually works fine. However today, after I got
the backend working, I tried to use mythweb and got an error I have not
received before:
Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.

If I look in the mythbackend log file I see this:

If I use webfrontend it works fine

I went back and edited the pi-mythbackend-helper.sh script from MikeB's pi-utils to make it run only the mythweb parts again and no errors on the install.
After having the same error, I went to the build from source wiki page and did those Mythweb instructions.

Still the same problem.

I just started fresh again and installed Raspberry PI OS Lite and installed mythtv-light and mythplugins-light using pi-utils/pi-setup_mythtv_31.sh.

Then using pi-mythbackend-helper.sh, I installed the rest. After configuring my tuners, video sources, and input connections everything worked except for mythweb. Still getting the error described above.

Here's the latest. This morning I tried once again to use mythtweb on my RPI4 backend from an Ubuntu 20.04 Chrome browser and the main page come up, strangely. I then tried something other than the Status screen and it failed with a dump of PHP logs with a link to post a bug report but on the old Trac system.
At that point I just did a sudo apt update/upgrade and rebooted, There were a lot up updates including mariadb.

Now mythweb on RPI4 is working again. I've updated my mythtv to fixes/31 (v31.0-118-...)

Recently I installed the mythtv-light and mythplugins-lite packages (31.0-54-g445cf1fe6b-0) onto 2020-12-02-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.zip running on an RPi4 4GB and mythweb works (http://my-ip-address/mythweb/). I was able to navigate the menus and even play a prior recording via Firefox.

Perhaps this latest version of Raspberry Pi OS fixed an underlying issue that caused mythweb to fail when you tested earlier.

EDIT: Thanks Jim for your instructions for How I installed MythTV v31 on my RPI 4. These have helped greatly!
