AppScale 3.1.0 does not start on Ubuntu 14.04

[Evgeny Kaminsky]

Hi distinguish technical team,

I am trying to get «АppScale up» using the "Building AppScale from Source" on Ubuntu server 14.04.

I downloaded appscale and appscale-tools   from 

https://github.com/AppScale/appscale and https://github.com/AppScale/appscale-tools

then unzip and 

• cd appscale/debian
• bash appscale_build.sh

• cd appscale-tools/debian
• bash appscale_build.sh

and reboot

unfortunately I can not download files directly on this machine or run "wget -O bootstrap.sh http://bootstrap.appscale.com && bash ./bootstrap.sh"  due to security restrictions

Then I followed the instructions here (starting from Step 5):

https://github.com/AppScale/appscale/wiki/AppScale-on-VirtualBox

However, AppScale stops on "appscale up" with the following message:

 

“The machine at 192.168.0.26 does not have AppScale installed.”

 

Please see below the steps I did to get Appscale up.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,

Evgeny

Hi Evgeny,

When you ran `bash appscale_install.sh` for the appscale repo, did you get the "AppScale installation completed successfully!" message at the end? Unfortunately, that script attempts to download multiple files from S3, so I suspect it may not have completed successfully if you machine does not allow that.

Hi Evgeny,

Building AppScale from source still requires an Internet connection at this time.

One optimization that we could do is create a tarball of cached packages and dependencies that you could put on a restricted machine like that. 

However, that's not on our immediate roadmap.

Using a pre-built Vagrant box would be the way to go in this case.

Note that vagrant init appscale/releases will still try to download the box.

In order to make this work, you'll need to download the AppScale 3.1.0 box from HashiCorp and then copy it onto the machine you want to run it.

I suspect that the "The machine at 192.168.0.26 does not have AppScale installed." error you saw is due to the box not being present.

Can you confirm that?

Thanks

Hi Meni,

thank you for your quick reply.

So I have to buy this software (AppScale 3.1.0)  from a third party (ie HashiCorp)?

Thanks,

Evgeny

Hello again,

The AppScale Vagrant box can be downloaded for free.

In the instructions you followed to install AppScale on Vagrant/VirtualBox you probably did something like:

vagrant up

This uses a Vagrantfile to understand which image to use to start up a VM. If the specified VM image is not present locally it will try to download it.

If you run:

vagrant box list

you should be able to see if you have any boxes locally present. What we're looking for is the box appscale/releases (v.3.1.0).

What I propose is that you download this box from here, you copy to the machine that has the connectivity restrictions and you add it to vagrant like so:

vagrant box add appscale/releases </path/to/box>

This will allow you to continue with steps 4 and 5 from the tutorial above.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Thanks
-Meni

Hi Meni,

I did all steps following your instruction.

But unfortunately I still have the same message:

"The machine at 192.168.0.26 does not have AppScale installed."

Thanks

Hello again,

I have installed a new Vagrant version (1.9.1), but now I get an error message when I run "vagrant up"

:~$ vagrant up

Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...

^[==> default: Fixed port collision for 22 => 2222. Now on port 2200.

==> default: Clearing any previously set network interfaces...

The specified host network collides with a non-hostonly network!

This will cause your specified IP to be inaccessible. Please change

the IP or name of your host only network so that it no longer matches that of

a bridged or non-hostonly network."

:~$ nano Vagrantfile

# -*- mode: ruby -*-

# vi: set ft=ruby :

# Vagrantfile API/syntax version. Don't touch unless you know what you're doing!

VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|

  config.vm.box = "appscale/releases"

  config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.0.148"

  config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|

    vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", "4098"]

  end

end

192.168.0.148 - is a new ip that I can use for a new virtual machine but it does not hostable

So I need a new hostable IP to run Vagrant with АppScale?

Thank you in advance,

Evgeny

Hi Evgeny,

Can you SSH into that default box you started, that complains about not having AppScale installed, and send the output of: ls  /root?

Thanks

Hi Meni,

I cannot connect to this VM via SSH, should I use different IP?

How can I solve this problem?

Best regards,

Evgeny

You should be able to SSH into a running Vagrant VM with vagrant ssh.
