RapidPro 6.2.4 cant run "pip install -r pip-freeze.txt" error

[Clerio Alfredo Faife]

Hi team,

I'm  struggling to  have  rapidpro installed  on  my local machine  using version 6.2.4.  The error occurs when I run  the command  "pip install -r pip-freeze.txt" as per  the instruction on site https://rapidpro.github.io/rapidpro/docs/development/.

The errors are on steps:  

--   Building wheel for pycrypto (setup.py) ... error

--   Building wheel for rcssmin (setup.py) ... error

--   Building wheel for rjsmin (setup.py) ... error

I  have been trying this and  other  approaches  such  as Docker and  different versions  for weeks  and with no  success.

Can you please advice  on  how to  proceed

Thanks     in   advance

Clerio Faife

It's a little hard to know what's going on without seeing the actual errors, but I'd suggest trying to install the latest 6.4.x release of RapidPro instead which uses poetry for dependencies.

It looks like your system doesn't have Python dev libraries installed

Hi Rowan,

Thanks for your response, I  have tried version  6.4.8  with poetry as well,  and it does not work.

Find the  errors here: https://pastebin.com/GYnctfvY

The issue is in  Installing rcssmin (1.0.6): Failed

I also  tried this docker compose  file my self,   but  it looks like the mailroom cant aceess db

attached the docker-compose .yaml   file:

[Clerio Alfredo Faife]

At least with docker i can have it  running  on my local machine,  the problem  comes when I try  to create  flows........

Here is the error when  I try to create  flow    running rapidpro  with docker  compose:

but mailroom is running,  below mailroom logs:

I would  to go with this approach  (container) as Im close to get it done, 

I would be glad if someone help me to sort it out.

You need some of the libraries installed. Are you installing that on Debian based Linux distro? just install these libraries mentioned here https://stackoverflow.com/a/58415632/2219080 and especially the python3-dev (depending of the version of python you are using. For example I have installed it on python3.7 so I need to install apt-get install python3.7-dev. 

[Clerio Alfredo Faife]

Thanks Allan for your feedback.

As per you suggested, I ran  apt-get install python3.7-dev  and now I am able to run   pip install -r pip-freeze.txt   on version  6.2.4(not the stable one). I finally succeeded installing the rapidpro version  6.2.4 on my local machine. Thank you so much.

 

As the documentation   says at https://rapidpro.github.io/rapidpro/docs/development/, if I intend to  deal with flows,  i can  download  the latest mailroom version from the Mailroom releases, and I did it, and it is also running,  The  thing is,  i cant configure  my android channel as I only can access  rapidpro via localhost/127.0.0.1 and not through my private  network IP address. 

Is there any additional  configuration  needed to access  local instance of rapidpro  via private network IP address?

Regards

[Clerio Alfredo Faife]

Changed the setting.py.dev file at line   78 to  INTERNAL_IPS = ("127.0.0.1","192.168.100.2",)  where 192.168.100.2 is my valid local ip address.

But I still cant access through the local ip,  is  something  else missing???????????????

[Allan Stockman rugano]

For the Android Channel, I think you will need a public IP to replace the one in the app. Your local one is not reachable over the internet. 

[Clerio Alfredo Faife]

Yes I do understand  that, for now I just want test on my local network. I need to reach the instance in the browser  through  my local IP address instead of 127.0.0.1

I just  ran  $ python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000,  and it is working, i  can now sync rapidpro with my mobile device.... this is awesome :).

But I still can not create flows,  but i  have  mailroom running on  the same machine, when  I go to the  browser at http://localhost:8090/ I get this result:

{

      component: "mailroom",

      url: "/",

      version: "6.4.3"
}

Below mailroom logs:

ERRO[0000] fcm not configured, no syncing of android channels 

ERRO[0001] error while running cron                      cron=fire_schedules error="error while getting unfired schedules: error selecting unfired schedules: pq: relation \"triggers_trigger_exclude_groups\" does not exist" lock=lgTeMaPEZQ lockName=fire_schedules_lock

You're trying to run incompatible versions of RapidPro and Mailroom - if you really need to run RapidPro 6.2.x then you need to run it with Mailroom 6.2.x as well

Thanks Rowan, 

I downgraded the    mailroom version to 6.2.2, I now I can create  flows. But the thing is this as described in the  print-screen below:

After create the flow,  the  next page never stops loading.

[Rudi Giesler]

Hi

The frontend is hardcoded to look at `/mr/` for mailroom, so what you need is a load balancer (like nginx), in front of all the components, and then you need to access rapidpro through the loadbalancer, so that `/` goes to django, and `/mr/` goes to mailroom.

See https://rapidpro.github.io/rapidpro/docs/mailroom/ for some example nginx configs.

Regards,

Rudi.

Thanks Rudi,

Now it works as expected,  I added NGINX as reverse proxy as  per you suggested and now it work like charm.

I will be putting my configs of nginx here,  might be useful for someone else:

   upstream mailroom_server {

      server 127.0.0.1:8090 fail_timeout=60;

   }

   upstream rapidpro {

      server 127.0.0.1:8000;

   }

   server {

      listen 80; 

      location / {

          proxy_pass http://rapidpro;

      }

      # all Mailroom URLs go to Mailroom

      location  /mr {

          proxy_set_header Host $http_host;

          proxy_pass http://mailroom_server;

          break;

      }

   }

Once again thanks  everyone.
