500 error on the dashboard page

[velcro]

I'm running the focaccia AMI on aws, and have been working on getting the Stanford theme up and running. However, once I got the main page up and running, I went to log in and immediately came across a 500 error. 

I'm not sure how to start on tracing the error; where are the logs for this, and what sort of thing should I be looking for?

[Ned Batchelder]

Where you start looking for the error depends a lot on what the error is.  Do you get a yellow Django error page?  It has a stack trace on it with lots of useful information.  If you can show us that, we can help you get started.

[David Azevedo]

Hello Velcro i got the same error.

If you post a traceback we could confirm.

Maybe changing lms/envs/common.py Language_code "en" this code "en" or "zh-cn" or whatever must be in lowercase with a - not a _ like the list of language codes on bottom of file.

[Ned Batchelder]

Everyone, just to be clear: a "500 error" is not a single kind of error.  Anything that goes wrong in the Python code will result in a 500 status code being returned to the browser.  Without information about specifically what is going on, it's impossible to know whether two sites with 500 errors are "the same error."

Only with a full error report can we begin to diagnose the problem.

--Ned.

[velcro]

I don't get a django error page; I've attached a screenshot, but as Ned pointed out, it's not a terribly useful page. In the syslog, I see three errors. One is a celery problem (missed heartbeats) that recurs every few hours or so, and the other two happen when I try to access an https page (password reset, for example). 

Thanks for the help; I'm really not sure where to go from here.

From the above error message, it looks to me like perhaps you have an old copy of lms/envs/common.py that is out of sync with the rest of the code. `git blame lms/envs/common.py` is showing that defaults for CERT_NAME_SHORT were added in hash 35112e9e on february 10th.

-- JZ

[velcro]

########################## CERTIFICATE NAME ########################

CERT_NAME_SHORT = "Certificate"

CERT_NAME_LONG = "Certificate of Achievement"

Is this what I should have? Because this already exists in lms/envs/common.py, and I think I'm up to date (just updated recently).

Any other guesses?

[Jay Zoldak]

Hm, nope that is correct - it's what you should have in common.py for lms.

Is it just the dashboard page that is giving 500 errors?

Are you using devstack?

What command are you using to start up lms?

-- JZ

[David Azevedo]

Hello again

Velcro i installed the same focaccia AMI and it runs good from minute 1.

Did you at sometime had a good setup and then after some change the error ocurred?

Are you using a medium ec2? Because anything less will not work.

Did you run a configuration update? Because if you did there are some new configurations that are not compatible with focaccia AMI.

David

[Ned Batchelder]

It's possible that you have more than one copy of the edx code, and that you are running new code and old code mixed together somehow.  For example, try running this command:

$ find / -name 'common.py'

--Ned.

I had to run an update to get the stanford themes to work; Yarko's patch wasn't applicable until I updated. It sounds like starting a new instance is going to be easiest, but then I'm not sure how to apply the patch. 

I'm running it on a large ec2 instance, so that shouldn't be the problem. I'm using 'rake lms:gather_assets:aws' to run it.

[David Azevedo]

Hello

You can try sudo /edx/bin/update edx-platform master - update edx-platform master ; and after ;  sudo /edx/bin/supervisorctl -c /edx/etc/supervisord.conf restart edxapp: (: included)

This overrides every file in folder edx-platform including edx-theme from Stanford and replaces it with master of edx if you havent changed the remote location of repository.

Hope this helps,

David

Hey David,

Thanks for the help! When I ran the first command, I got a failure:

To answer this - be sure you are running:

sudo /edx/bin/update edx-platform master

 

or the verbose mode:

sudo /edx/bin/update -v edx-platform master 

[David Azevedo]

Hello

I think the error came from trying to run with 'rake lms:gather_assets:aws' because rake is not installed on focaccia AMI

The general version of "how to run a patch locally"  is here:  https://help.github.com/articles/checking-out-pull-requests-locally

...but you might just as simply note that:

• PR #2387 changes 3 files:   rakefile (which hasn't changed in a long time);  rakelib/assets.rake;  cms/startup.py
• you can safely do the following (from /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform):

# these will give you a simple path back: 

mv rakefile rakefile-

mv rakelib/assets.rake rakelib/assets.rake-

mv cms/startup.py cms/startup.py-

 

#  startup for studio will fail because paths to theme not found (even though not used);

# the full lms startup will solve this:

ln -s ../lms/startup.py cms/startup.py

curl https://raw.github.com/yarko/edx-platform/yarko/fix-rake-env-assets/rakelib/assets.rake > rakelib/assets.rake

curl https://raw.github.com/yarko/edx-platform/yarko/fix-rake-env-assets/rakefile  > rakefile

 

If you are on AWS, then you will need to checkout the stanford theme manually, and also manually set /edx/app/edxapp/lms.env.json - see https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/wiki/Developing-on-the-edX-Developer-Stack#configuring-themes-in-devstack

 

Hope that helps.

[Yarko Tymciurak]

I'm not sure if this is accurate - see https://github.com/edx/configuration/wiki/edX-Managing-the-Production-Stack#compile-assets-manually  for how to run fullstack  rake (you need to have the environment setup).

In any case, even if it is, you can run the rake commands in verbose mode on a vagrant fullstack (or probably devstack for that matter), and see the commands that it facilitates, and run those manually.

In other words, there should be no block, at worst lack of conveniences.

[velcro]

Yep, that's what I have. Here's added verbosity.

So I did install rake, and have been running things (and seeing changes I make in the Stanford theme directories) using the rake command.

Yarko: I get 

-bash: rakefile: Permission denied

when I run that last line; sudo doesn't fix it. 

[velcro]

Alright, I'm going to cut my losses and start fresh. I will keep track of every command I run, so that if I manage to reproduce the error I can give an appropriate set of things (instead of wasting your time now...I'll waste it later instead?)

Thanks so much for the help and ideas!

[David Azevedo]

OK

And update your findings please for future reference.

Definitely. I think it's some weird steps that I came across in implementing the Stanford theme; I'll be sure to write up what I find.

[Yarko Tymciurak]

FYI I've been implementing the Stanford theme often in the past month with easy success.

Do note that a small changes required - see https://github.com/Stanford-Online/edx-theme/pull/4

- Yarko

[velcro]

I attached documentation of exactly what I've done, on a freshly launched AMI. Hopefully this will help in finding the error? The first patch (#2387) had a whitespace error, and that may be what destroyed everything else.

Either way, to apply patch #4 (which seems necessary, based on the error after rake-ing), I think I need to update?

Thanks again for the help!

FYI, I've successfully applied the Standford theme using the provision method:

WOW! THANK YOU!

You are my new hero. If this were reddit, I'd give you all the gold. As it isn't, I hope my thanks will suffice: thank you for pointing me there! There's so much other information about other ways to do it that I never even saw this one.

[Trinh Nguyen]

No problem. To a sass/less and ruby novice like me, using the automation provisioning script is the best way to get start since it simplified most of the steps.

[velcro]

Definitely.  I'm noticing that the way I've been compiling manually (https://github.com/edx/configuration/wiki/edX-Managing-the-Production-Stack#compile-assets-manually) isn't working; how are you causing the changes to take effect?

This is because the SERVICE_VARIANT isn't set for rakefile & rakelib.

That others report this works surprised me, so this means something is different between systems - some can set the extra-vars for ansible (which is what server-vars.yml is) and have lms be passed as the SERVICE_VARIANT, and some not (which is one of two points of #2387).

Perhaps the root cause needs to dug into more.   But the only way that sass and coffee could porcess properly without #2387 is if theme files were put somewhere within edx-platform (common, lms, or cms) - which would be bad form.   To get the /edx/app/edxapp/theme  path added to coffee and sass processing, the changes from #2387 to rakelib/assets must be in place.

So - my question to the others:  how on earth does your theme work using https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/wiki/Stanford-Theming ?

For this to work from within server-vars.yml, the ansible playbooks would have to put this in a different place than /edx/app/edxapp/theme...

(I'd have tested this tonight, and not asked the questions - but, sorry to say, my graphics card died, so I'm out a computer at the moment)

The post you refer to is more than a month old;  the second PR has since been merged, so it makes sense that it wouldn't apply.

Just to be clearer that I'm serious in this question:

• Once you've followed the steps in wiki/Stanford-Theming, show us the output from running either:
• rake devstack[lms] command  (if you're on devstack), or
• the commands at https://github.com/edx/configuration/wiki/edX-Managing-the-Production-Stack#compile-assets-manually (for fullstack)

I did successfully apply the Standford theme on March 6 following exactly the steps from the wiki.

I will update the output of the combine asset command tonight (9-10PM GMT+7) because my company network blocks the ssh connection right now.

But the theme is still applied to the running instance.

After I updated the edx-platform from master branch, I logged in and navigate to a course intro page. I got a 500 error.

The log file says:

DatabaseError: (1146, "Table 'edxapp.user_api_usercoursetag' doesn't exist")

I produced a db migration and things are ok now.

That's exactly the error I've been getting.

[velcro]

Trinh, did you simply 'git update' the edx-platform, and then './manage.py lms syncdb --migrate'? And then you could gather_assets and your custom theme worked?

That 500 error you got is almost certainly the one I started with, at the top of the thread!  I'm starting up a new instance to see whether everything looks the same from my end. 

[velcro]

Argh, sorry. 'git pull', obviously.

[velcro]

Okay, having tried on a fresh instance, I used the provision method and checked my git status: up to date.

After running migrations (sudo -u www-data /edx/app/edxapp/venvs/edxapp/bin/python ./manage.py lms syncdb --migrate --settings aws) I still get the same errors when trying to rake. Trinh: not sure how you got that to work?
