to Google App Engine
First, let me say, I have almost ZERO experience with Python or deploying apps to Google App Engine or cloud services.

I'm following their insructions, and have successfully deployed a local instance of Course Builder on my Windows machine.  No problem there.

But when I try running the script for deploying it to the cloud, I get errors at the end of the install saying "Could not guess mimetype" for a long a list of files.

ANY IDEAS?

This seems related to a third-party set of code.  Can you link to the "Course Builder" you're trying to deploy?

So, your deployment isn't actually failing because of the MIME type messages, which are actually just warnings. Your deployment fails because of this:

This application does not exist (project_id=u'pest-university'). To create an App Engine application in this project, run "gcloud beta app create" in your console.

You need to run the 'gcloud beta app create' command first on a new project, or go through the app creation flow in the Cloud Console under 'App Engine' (running the command is easier).

As for those warnings, I believe a large part of it is due to Python's 'mimetypes' module (which is used by the SDK) not being very good at guessing MIME types on Windows. Someone else who is more knowledgeable might chime in about that. To get around it, you can use the 'mime_types' element in app.yaml to specify a MIME type for a URL path, but it only really matters if you're planning to serve those files as static files. As an overly simplistic example:

- url: static/(.*\.json)
  static_files: static/\1
  upload: static/(.*\.json)
  mime_type: application/json

Otherwise, you can probably ignore those messages.

Hi, Adam

I ran into the same problem, but I'm unsure as to how to run the gcloud beta app create command. When I type it in the terminal I get an error message: 

-bash: gcloud: command not found


Any help would be very much appreciated.

Did you download the google cloud sdk shell?  That is the point at which I am getting stuck.

Adam, thank you, this was helpful to me.  I chose to do the "go through the app creation flow in the Cloud Console" recommendation, because I suck at the command line, and now everything works.  Thank you!!!

Thank you Adam. This was extremely helpful. I was also getting this error message. I followed the app creation flow in the Cloud Console under 'App Engine'  and I have now successfully set up course builder
