   Hello,

   We tried to install MediaCore on your server as per the steps given in the url http://opensource.mediacore.com/docs/install/index.html. But are getting the following error at step 5.

   We received another error at step 2. But we fixed it by installing 'tk-devel' module. This module is not mentioned among the requirements for the installation. Please contact the support of MediaCore for the correct installation steps. If you want us to install it for you, please get back to us with the steps.

   Can you give me some help please?

   I apologize about my english.

   The current MediaCore git version is not Python 2.4 compatible currently due to a few bugs. See my answer (second post) in this thread: http://opensource.mediacore.com/community/topic/issue-with-populate-the-database

   Hi felix, thanks for the info. My hosting provider finished the installation.

   i have another question. My mediacore is mydomain:8080 Can i use my domain without the 8080?

   Thank you and i apologize about my english.

   leotek: Looks like you use paster which is not recommended for deployment. If you still need to use paster and you DO NOT run apache, you can simply change the port number in your deployment.ini.

   However the best option is to configure MediaCore for a mod_wsgi/mod_fcgid deployment as outlined in the docs.

   Well maybe i used paster :( the support hosting installed it. and yes i have apache. I can ask them to make a better installation, just say me the right steps and ill say to them.

   TY Felix for your great and fast support!

   leotek: check http://opensource.mediacore.com/docs/install/apache-wsgi.html for config instructions.

   Regarding the port problem I think you need to ask your hoster why it is running on 8080.

   Hi Felix my hosting support is saying me that they installed mod_wsgi but they are asking me what is the next to do.

   I dont know what to say, can you give me the next step? is necessary to delete the old mediacore (with parse) and install again?

   Hi Felix this is what my support says to me: http://opensource.mediacore.com/docs/install/apache-wsgi.html

   "From the provided link, setup of wsgi configuration is not clear. Please get in touch with MediaCore support and provide us exact method to configure this in apache."

   :-(

   leotek: Well, the WSGI config is actually written in the exact page (under 'Instructions') and the mediacore.wsgi file is included in your MediaCore source. I'm sorry but I think I can't help you with that anyfurther besides me actually doing the config.

    Well Felix at least say me when did my support made the first error. As far as i can see reading was using parse. Can you say me what did they have to do instead of parse?

    That way i can try myself... is all i can do by the moment.

    TY

    Well, using paste is not a real error but it is clearly not a good permanent solution.

    Then just add the apache snippet referenced in the docs above. Skip all things about 'enhancements' or 'performance optimizations'. These are not really important in your case.

    I have downloaded MediaCore-0.9.0.tar.gz source file and installed in /home/tootoo/ directory as per the URL

    Created a virtual environment mediacore_env and activated that virtual environment.

    The only advise I can give you here is to check 'mediacore.wsgi' if all paths are correct etc. Try (with enabled venv) python mediacore.wsgi.
