Installation Issues

[rblom]

I am a developer, but not a Python developer, so I am looking for some help with installation.

here are the steps I have followed.

1. I have a SUSE Linux distribution.
2. I have MySQL.
3. I downloaded the software and unpacked it on the web server.
4. I created the database, and ran all the database scripts.

The resutls are at http://cbu.milwaukee.gov/cbu/main.py.

Please eamail me at [email protected], if you have suggestions.

Hi Randie,
A few questions:

• What webserver are you running?
• Did you configure WSGI for your webserver?
• Do you see anything in the logs that might indicate what's going wrong?
• At the very worst, try running the service manually. Go to the root
  folder and run python main.py. This will start the server on port 5000.
  You'll then be able to go to http://your-server-ip:5000/ and you should
  see what's going on.

Cheers

Apache on SUSE linux

• Did you configure WSGI for your webserver?

I did not set up the webserver, and I'm not sure what this is.

• Do you see anything in the logs that might indicate what's going wrong?

Where are the log files?

• At the very worst, try running the service manually. Go to the root
  folder and run python main.py. This will start the server on port 5000.
  You'll then be able to go to http://your-server-ip:5000/ and you should
  see what's going on.

when I run python main.py, I get the same framework error message.

What exactly is the framework error message you're getting - ie, what does
"when I run python main.py, I get the same framework error message" mean?
It's not in the previous emails.
Also, log files are in the default Apache log location and in the path as
specified in the config.yaml file. Please ensure that you created the
config.yaml file per the instructions.
I'll add instructions for WSGI and python setup, but I actually recommend
that you use lighttpd per our instructions. Setting up Apache with python
is more complicated.

Do I use these instructions if I am running SUSE linux?

https://github.com/localprojects/Change-By-Us/wiki/Installation-Instructions-%28Ubuntu%29

the error message is if you go to this link: http://cbu.milwaukee.gov/cbu/main.py

as I said, I am not a python developer.

Are you still interested? If so, the ubuntu instructions will give you all the information that you need, just not the location of the files and some of the commands will be different. Like I asked if you are still interested, then I am willing to go through the process for OpenSUSE and document it.
