Using edx Devstack edxapp does not work

[Andrés Sebastián Díaz Vargas]

Greetings to all.

I'm trying to use the Open edX Developer Stack, I already created the VM; after
Vagrant ssh

Within the VM instance, with:
sudo su edxapp

it does not switch to the edxapp account.

Later on if I try (even if I go to: /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform):

paver devstack lms

it throws:
"No command 'paver' found".

I will be grateful if someone can help me.

Thank you.

Hi Andres-

I don't think I've ever come across your particular problem, but see if this set of commands gets you up and running:

sudo su edxapp -s /bin/bash
source /edx/app/edxapp/edxapp_env
cd /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform
paver devstack lms

Let me know how it works out.

Today I was installing devstack and I encountered this problem. In my case, it turned out, that vagrant up command ended with error related to libxmlsec1.

My "hack":

vagrant destroy -f && vagrant up # to start from clean version
vagrant ssh
sudo apt-get install libxmlsec1-dev
sudo apt-get install swig
# logout
vagrant reload
vagrant provision


and after this I got working edx. Hope it helps.

Hi sorry for the late response.

you are right, it was the libxmlsec-1-dev

Actually inside edx I installed:

sudo apt-get install libxmlsec1-dev and
sudo apt-get install swig
That solve the problem.

Thank you

Guys I still have problem with this. any other solution?

[Sven Marnach]

Since the provisioning didn't succeed before you installed the
additional packages, you will need to retry provisioning using

vagrant provision

It might be easiest, though, to start from scratch with the latest
version of the Vagrantfile [1]. This version will use a newer version
of the Vagrant base box by default, which already comes with the swig
and libxmlsec-1-dev packages included.

When "sudo su edxapp" doesn't do anything, it's because the shell entry in /etc/passwd for edxapp is set to /bin/false.  This happens if you forget to export the OPENEDX_RELEASE setting before provisioning:

    $ export OPENEDX_RELEASE="named-release/cypress"

    $ vagrant provision

Also, questions about installation and configuration belong on the openedx-ops mailing list, not here. The edx-code mailing list is primarily for discussions regarding code and development.

[Mayuri Karnik]

sudo su edxapp -s /bin/bash asks for password. What is the default password?

[Ned Batchelder]

If "sudo su edxapp" doesn't switch the user on a devstack, then the installation didn't complete properly.  Check the logs from your installation to see if there was a problem.
