Troubleshooting PANDA install on our server

[Tom Meagher]

Panda-teers,

I'm trying to get PANDA installed on our server here. Our IT
department set me up with a virtual machine with Ubuntu 11.10.
Followed the instructions, got the panda-setup.sh and ran it. It
appeared to work. The install log looks like it was successful (see
the tail below), but when I point my browser at the IP address or the
domain name for the server, I get this error:
uWSGI Error

Python application not found


Can you help me figure this out?

The tail of the panda-install-log:

uwsgi start/running, process 21825
+ wget -nv https://raw.github.com/pandaproject/panda/0.1.4/setup_panda/celeryd.conf
-O /etc/init/celeryd.conf

+ service celeryd start
celeryd start/running, process 21834
+ wget -nv https://raw.github.com/pandaproject/panda/0.1.4/setup_panda/panda.cron
-O /etc/cron.d/panda

[85/85] -> "/etc/cron.d/panda" [1]
+ echo 'PANDA installation complete.'
PANDA installation complete.

What am I missing?

Thanks, Tom

My colleague in IT spotted this problem, which, of course, was just
above the tail of the install log:

+ sudo -u panda -E python manage.py syncdb --noinput

For some reason Django wasn't installed correctly. Advice?

Tom:

Can you put the whole install log up as a git gist or a pastebin or something?

Thanks
Joe

*Sigh* It looks like lxml timed out while downloading a dependency and
that blew up the whole requirements installation process. It should be
safe to rerun the setup script from the beginning. Let me know if it
happens again, but I suspect it's just somebody's glitchy webserver.

I just re-ran the setup-panda.sh bash script and it looks like the
same errors got thrown on the lxml timeout and the later django
commands. I'll give it a try tomorrow and see if the servers are
cooperating a bit better then unless you think there's something else
I can/should do now.

Thanks, Tom

Hmmm, curiously I was able to get it to install twice, so either you
had bad luck with PyPi (the dependency server) or something else is
awry. Off the top of my head I'm not sure what it would be. Can you
try manually running the lxml install command and see what happens?

sudo pip install lxml==2.3.1

Cheers,
Chris

A very similar error:

that's weird, it's getting some of it and then timing out...

Success!!

I just tried to reinstall lxml. That worked, so I reran the panda bash
script and I'm in. Thanks for your help, Chris and Joe!
