Re: [mezzanine-users] How to install and run Mezzanine v0.12.3

[Stephen McDonald]

This works fine for me.

I then upgraded Django to 1.4 in the virtualenv and get the same error as you do, so double-check your Django version. I don't think Django 1.4 even existed when Mezzanine 0.12.3 was out.

I know you have already moved on to v1.1.2 and I went through the Quick Start and v1.1.2 installs and runs as advertised. 

BUT I need to work on an exisiting project that uses v0.12.3 and I cannot get it to run; after the install when when I go to the url I get this message:  'ContextAwareExtendsNode' object has no attribute 'parent_name_expr'. Does anyone know what I need to do to get v0.12.3 to work (show the Mezzanine Home Page)?

Thanks,

These are the steps I followed.

I am trying this on a MacBook Pro Running Lion (Mac OS X v10.7.4) and Python 2.7 (built with GCC 4.2.1).

1. Make a new virtual environment:
   

   mkvirtualenv --no-site-packages --distribute mymezz-001

2. Update pip to latest version:
   

   pip install -U pip

3. Create a requirements.pip file containing Mezzanine==0.12.3:

   vi requirements.pip
   Mezzanine==0.12.3

4. Install Mezzanine:

   pip install -r requirements.pip
   NOTE: Besides Mezzanine, django 1.1 is also installed!

5. Create a Mezzanine project:

   
   mezzanine-project mymezz
   cd mymezz

6. Create a datatbase:

   python manage.py createdb
     Answer "yes" to create superuser now
     Username: < hit enter to use default >
     Enter an E-mail address.
     Enter Password: ************
     Enter Password again: ************
     Answer "yes" to install some initial content

7. Run the server:

   
   python manage.py runserver
   NOTE: Notice the address and port (http://127.0.0.1:8000/)

8. Check it out in a browser:

   
   Browse to address noted above: http://127.0.0.1:8000

   Notice Error Message: 'ContextAwareExtendsNode' object has no attribute 'parent_name_expr'

That was it - I added Django==1.3 to requirements.pip and everything worked.

Thank You,
