Starting server: Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1

[Guillermo Cano]

Hi, I'm trying to install a devstack edx and I'm having some problems. I found this post

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/edx-code/Command$20%22python$20setup.py$20egg_info%22$20failed$20with$20error$20code$201$20in/edx-code/FPfScH93R6M/5nvkOgolmvcJ

but didn't work for me.
When I try to start the server I get the next fail:

By the way, I've already try to update pip, it looks like everything is ok(Successfully installed pip-7.1.0
), but I always get that message when try the paver devstack studio.

I'm on Ubuntu 12.04.5.

Cheers,
Guillermo.

The link that you provided leads to the same forum post that Guillermo said that he tried and didn't work. Has anyone been able to solve this problem and successful run the server? I am having the exact same problem that Guillermo reported. Thanks in advance.

Azim and Guillermo, try deleting your edxapp virtualenv:

sudo -u edxapp rm -rf /edx/app/edxapp/venvs/edxapp

and then re-running ansible to re-create the virtualenv. If you're running with Cypress, or with the latest code, that should make it work properly.

Hi I got the same problem on devstack studio. How can you re-running ansible to re-create the virtualenv? 

thanks

This error is still a  problem while installing devstack with the open-release/ficus.master. Anyone found a solution?
