Problem deploying rapid-pro

[Syed Zakriya]

Hi,

I have got the following softwares installed on my Server:

1. DJango

2. Cerely

3. PostGRE SQL with POST GIS extensions.

3. Redis

4. Lessc

5. Coffee

I am trying to perform all the steps specified in below link:

http://rapidpro.github.io/rapidpro/docs/development/

However i'm stuck up in the third step from the last, that is building an virtual environment. 

When i execute the command:

$virtualenv env

I get an error:

Using base prefix 'C:\\Python34'

New python executable in env\Scripts\python.exe

Failed to import the site module

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\Users\syed.zakriya\Desktop\rapidpro-master\rapidpro-master\env\lib\si

te.py", line 67, in <module>

    import os

.py", line 616, in <module>

    from _collections_abc import MutableMapping

ImportError: No module named '_collections_abc'

ERROR: The executable env\Scripts\python.exe is not functioning

ERROR: It thinks sys.prefix is 'c:\\users\\syed.zakriya\\desktop\\rapidpro-maste

r\\rapidpro-master' (should be 'c:\\users\\syed.zakriya\\desktop\\rapidpro-maste

r\\rapidpro-master\\env')

ERROR: virtualenv is not compatible with this system or executable

Note: some Windows users have reported this error when they installed Python for

 "Only this user" or have multiple versions of Python installed. Copying the app

ropriate PythonXX.dll to the virtualenv Scripts/ directory may fix this problem.

As suggested in the error, i tried copying the pythonX.dll to the scripts folder under /env, but i still get the same error.

Any suggestion on proceeding about with the same will be really helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Syed

Syed,

This looks like a problem with your virtual environment install on
Windows. I'm not at all familiar with Python in Windows, but I would
suggest doing some googling to look for possible solutions as it isn't
anything specific to RapidPro.

Here's the first hit I found when doing a search in Google:
https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/87

Cheers,

-Nic

Hi Nic,

Thanks for the info. Finally resolved that. Currently stuck at the second last step. That is syncing to the database. Below is the issue i'm getting. Any idea on resolving this?

Hi Syed,

Looks like your settings file has some unicode or other garbage on the
first line that Windows is blowing up on.

I'd take a look there.

Hi Nic,

Yes the problem was in windows the ln command does not works fine even though i have cygwin. Anyways solve this issue as well. 

I'm getting some issue in the GIS library while executing the command:

python manage.py syncdb

WindowsError: [Error 193] %1 is not a valid Win32 application

I have added a line:

GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH = "C:/OSGeo4W/bin/gdal19.dll"

But still i get the same issue.

Any info on this shall be really helpful. And i can make a document for running rapidpro on windows.

Regards,

Syed

Hi Nic,

I was able to resolve the above error. It was due to a 32-bit installation of POSTgis extensions in a 64 bit machine. 

I think i have almost reached the launching point.

There is just one hurdle now while syncing the database. Below is the description:

(env) C:\Users\syed.zakriya\Desktop\RAPIDPRO\rapidpro>python manage.py syncdb

SYED_ZAKRIYAAAAA__lib path = C:\OSGeo4W64\bin\gdal111.dll

Raven is not configured (logging is disabled). Please see the documentation for

more information.

Any idea on this??

[Nic Pottier]

Looks like you don't have a user "temba" which has the right username
and password for the database in your settings.py.

You'll need to create that user and database in Postgres. (make sure
to load the extensions as detailed in the startup guide for that
database as well)
