Issues getting started.

[N Bhargav]

Hi,

I'm having a tough time getting aoi to work. I followed the exact instructions on CentOS and Ubuntu but still no luck. The problem is when I try to create questions I see this error.

ActiveResource::ServerError in QuestionsController#create

Failed with 500 Internal Server Error

And some other URLs too giving me similar errors. What I had initially suspected was that config/config.yml doesn't have proper configuration but I see no problem with it either. My config is,

Also I want to know when each time do I have to restart WEBrick when I change config/config.yml?

Any ideas that can make move in right direction is appreciated.

Thanks,

N Bhargav.

It looks like this error might be due to an error on the pairwise
server. Do you see any error logs on the pairwise server after this
error occurs on the All Our Ideas server?

Yeah, you might need to restart WEBrick after making changes to
config/config.yml.

Hi Luke,

Thanks for helping me out. Here is the current logs/development.log which I posted it on gist as it is 1MB+

https://gist.github.com/bhargav3/8995313

Let me know if you will need any more info to diagnose the root cause of this problem.

Thanks,

N Bhargav.

[Luke Baker]

That looks like just the log for the allourideas.org code. And it
seems to be having trouble connecting to the pairwise-api. Did you
install, configure, and run the pairwise-api code as well? The two
applications need to be running at the same time, as pairwise-api is
the key API server that the allourideas.org code uses.

Here is the pairwise-api log from logs/development.log,

https://gist.github.com/bhargav3/9010138

Also I have made sure pairwise-api is started before I start aoi. So what do you think is causing these issues?

Thanks,

N Bhargav.

Ah, it looks like pairwise is having trouble connecting to Redis. Do
you have that running as well?

Luke

[N Bhargav]

Thanks a lot, because of a firewall issue pairwise-api was not able to connect to redis-server. And when I try to see the list of questions on http://domain.com/questions, I see a template missing error.

Template is missing
Missing template questions/index.erb in view path /opt/allourideas/app/views:/opt/allourideas/vendor/ruby/1.9.1/gems/thoughtbot-clearance-0.8.2/app/views:/opt/allourideas/vendor/plugins/flutie/app/views

Any ideas?

Luke - thanks it looks like we have everything working. Correct me if Im wrong, but I dont think there is a feature for "listing ideas". The DISCOVER option on your site (The best ideas will bubble to the top using our system that is open, transparent, and powerful) is just a hardcoded link to a PlanNYC example, right?

Part of what we need to do is allow people to browse through issues related to our community. Now, we're fine to make those mods ourselves, i just wanted to make sure I wasnt missing something about how AOI works natively. Anyway, I really do appreciate you taking the time to help us get this up and running. 

[Luke Baker]

Marco, you're correct AOI doesn't have that feature baked-in. You'll
need to add that yourself.

Luke

[Luke Baker]

The All Our Ideas code doesn't have the template dedicated to showing
the list of available questions. You can see where Ruby on Rails is
looking for that template file, though. I think it ought be to pretty
easy to add one, by creating the template file in
app/views/questions/index.html.erb and having that template iterate
over @questions variable that was set in the index method of the
QuestionsController.
