   I'm trying to install Mediacore on Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS. It's going well but when I get to the line:

   paster setup-app development.ini

   I get a long traceback message (below). I did try to do some troubleshooting and tried installing pylons 0.9.7, but that didn't seem to help.

   Any help would be appreciated.

   I'm not sure why that happens but let's try to find the problem:

   1. Which version of MediaCore do you use? If you got the version from git, please mention the exact git revision number.

   2. Installing pylons 0.9.7 is certainly wrong (unless you use a very old version of MediaCore). I suggest you start with a clean virtualenv and do 'python setup.py develop'.

   A side note: I do not recommend installing MediaCore itself as root. You will get into permission troubles later when you try to deploy it using WSGI. Instead use an ordinary unix user, that will also prevent you from messing up your system accidentally.

   Ok,

   Git Revision: 95d3c651585bd55d84a52a83a961e3236ba94ffc - Not sure if this is correct, it's what I got from git log It dates from Jan 31st.

   Just to see if it was an Ubuntu 12 issue I reinstalled with Ubuntu 10.0.4 and ran through the install procedure again. Similar issue. I ran through everything as a nonsuperuser.

   When I ran paster setup-app development.ini I got the following

   If you deployed from git, you can use "git show head" to get the revision number.

   Your git revision number is the very latest (I pushed that change only yesterday). Did you update your local code yesterday?

   Besides that, can you confirm you did the following steps:

   • virtualenv --no-site-packages mediacore_env (obviously 'mediacore_env' is just an arbitrary directory name)
   • activated your virtualenv (e.g. . ./mediacore_env/bin/activate)
   • (in the 'mediacore' directory) python setup.py develop (or 'setup.py install')

   Please look for errors in the 'setup.py' step. Usually the problem in that step.

   1). Thanks,

   2). I did reset my test machine and run the install again to get the same error.

   3). I did run virtualenv to get a virtualenvironment for mediacore. I literally copied and pasted the command from the tutorial.

   > source mediacore_env/bin/activate

   I've examined my results from setup.py. I looked for any messages that said "error" or 'failed' etc.

   I did find this line:

   > Link to http://svn.pythonpaste.org/Paste/WebOb/trunk#egg=WebOb-dev ***BLOCKED*** by --allow-hosts

   I can include the rest of my results if needed, but didn't want to fill up the forum with a lot of "Best Match" results.

   ---

   I also want to say thank you for the feedback, I appreciate the help.

   That blocked line is happening because you're in China; the line after that will read that it's downloaded the same resource from mediacore's website.

   Can you run the following commands and let us know what the results are:

   1. which paster
   2. which python

   You have to have your virtual_env activated, obviously. Also, make sure you're using paster not paste.

   which paster returns
   /home/chrism/mediacore_env/bin/paster

   which python returns:
   /home/chrism/mediacore_env/bin/python

   Okay, see that looks different from the error message you copied in the above Traceback:

   Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/paster", line 18, in <module>
   command.run()

   Those paths should be /home/chrism/mediacore_env/bin/paster and so on. To me that indicates that your virtualenv wasn't activated.

   The which command confirms that you definitely have the virtualenv activated and your path is set up to get to the right binary files, you should be able to do paster setup-app development.ini without an issue.
