Initialize Database

Re: Initialize Database

I do it in a different way. I have a symlink to the active freeswitch version in /usr/src/freeswitch pointing to the active FS version and symlinks to the libs in /usr/src/freeswitch/libs/esl/… in python's site-packages dir. This way I can quickly upgrade to a new freeswitch version without modifying WSGI path. However, I'm starting to consider zero install approach to be much cleaner, so I think we should cosider using virtualenv.

It definitely took more time than it should in your case, although it's caused by debian maintainers' weird decision in first place. It's possible to drastically simplify installation of wikipbx by using other software for configuring python dependencies, but it's not in our short time plans yet.

And definitely do stay away from PHP for anything that is more complicated than a Personal Home Page :-)

Any scripts to simplify installation would be highly appreciated and will go into the svn repository for other users to use. We know currently wikipbx is very difficult and time consuming to install .. so if you made it all the way through consider yourself part of the elite ;)

well after i copy _ESL.so and ESL.py to /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages everything work grate. i really appreciated all the help.

like i mention before i have ubuntu 9.10 server on my box and i don't know if this going to help you guys but i will format the box and install a fresh copy of ubuntu 9.10 server. And i can make a shell script to do all the steps.

coming from Microsoft environment where everything you need to do is one click, However, i did install FusionPBX and FreePBX-v3 they are much Easier put they all in php (php=bad).

anyway thanks alot for all the help and if you think the shell script would help let me know.

What is your current WSGIPythonPath set to?

Re: Initialize Database

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 20:22:58 +0000

Just checked my system and _ESL.so and ESL.py are not deployed to /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages ..

 locate ESL.py

results in ..

 /usr/src/freeswitch_15699/libs/esl/python/ESL.py

which corresponds to my apache configuration WSGIPythonPath:

 WSGIPythonPath /usr/src/freeswitch_13501/scripts/socket:/usr/src/wikipbx:/usr/src/django_5024:/usr/src/freeswitch_13501/libs/esl/python

no should i copy them there

Re: Initialize Database

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 19:55:27 +0000

Do you have _ESL.so and ESL.py from libs/esl directory in python's dist-packages? I guess they're installed to site-packages instead.

Re: Initialize Database

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 19:34:35 +0000

 build the ESL module for python

Go to libs/esl directory under freeswitch source tree
Edit python/Makefile to use the version of python you prefer to use
Run make pymod

i did that

Re: Initialize Database

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 19:25:47 +0000

See http://wikipbx.subwiki.com/troubleshooting-0-8#toc2

This means its not finding the ESL module on the python path from within the wsgi context.

Either:

* You forgot to build the ESL module for python
* You forgot to set the WSGIPythonPath wsgi variable in the apache config, or had a typo
* You correctly set it and for whatever reason its being ignored

The workaround is to modify the /usr/src/wikipbx/wikipbx.wsgi file to manually add the ESL directory. Please post on the forum if you need help with that.

Re: Initialize Database

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 16:54:50 +0000

Ok, now it's pretty clear. Looks like you're using a newer ubuntu or other debian-based distro where they've renamed site-packages to dist-packages. Don't ask me why would they want to do something that breaks most existing python third-party modules - it looks like idiotism to me.

So you can do one of the following:

1. Create the symlink in /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages directory instead of site-packages.

2. Add site-packages to python path by setting it:

sudo PYTHONPATH="/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH" manage.py syncdb

3. Don't install django, add it's root directory to pythonpath instead:

sudo PYTHONPATH="/usr/src/django:$PYTHONPATH" manage.py syncdb

Re: Initialize Database

What do you get if you run:

Re: Initialize Database

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 10:56:58 +0000

Well,
I am glad you guys didn't give up on me :) i really appreciated all the help.

the site-packages has only one symlink "django" which linked to /usr/src/django/django. so i thought if i delete it i wouldn't lose anything.

So does it work now if you run the python shell and type "import django"?

No i get this

 Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Dec 7 2009, 18:45:15) [GCC 4.4.1] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import django Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in  ImportError: No module named django

Re: Initialize Database

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 01:42:24 +0000

Do you remember what site-packages was symlinked to? That seems odd .. I worry that some crucial python libs somehow got lost along the way (if you accidentally deleted the site-packages directory)

So does it work now if you run the python shell and type "import django"?

Re: Initialize Database

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 23:57:03 +0000

well,
in "/usr/lib/python2.6" directory it show "site-packages" as symlink. therefore i delete the symlink and create the "site-packages" subdirectory under "/usr/lib/python2.6" and i run this command

 ln -s /usr/src/django/django /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages

and this the output i got

Re: Initialize Database

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 20:28:20 +0000

Oops didn't look at Stas' post to carefully before posting. I guess you'll want to use a trailing slash here

 $ ls -al /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django

Re: Initialize Database

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 17:38:19 +0000

So it looks like python can't find the django modules/classes. This should be really easy to fix..

What is the output from this shell cmd?

 $ ls -al /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages | grep -i django

And this one?

 $ ls -al /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django

Which directory did you install django in? (eg, /usr/src/django, /opt/django, /home/foo/Django_5024)

My guess is that your symlink points to the django top level directory (eg, /usr/src/django) rather than the subdirectory where the django python modules are (eg, /usr/src/django/django)

Re: Initialize Database

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 13:50:23 +0000

"import django" is a python command, it should be run in python's command line not system shell. As it fails, it means that django is not installed in the python version you run.

To help figuring out what's wrong with your setup, enter this command in the shell:

ls -lh /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django

It should print the path where your django symlink is pointing. Next command is almost the same, except the trailing slash. It prints the contents of directory where the symlink points.

ls -lh /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/

Re: Initialize Database

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 12:27:36 +0000

Re: Initialize Database

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 11:54:19 +0000

And what about this:

Type "import django" — do you get an error?

If it works then run in python console:

  print(django.__file__)

It should output a path name like /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django.pyc . This in necessary to make sure that you don't have some other library/module/script named django that gets imported instead of the django framework.

When you run these commands you should be using the same environment as you're going to run in production, i.e. run it with sudo as it may have effect on python environment.

You're supposed to replace 2.X with the actual python version

i did replace it with 2.6

Re: Initialize Database

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 10:56:12 +0000

and yes there is symlink to django subdirectory

Re: Initialize Database

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 10:17:48 +0000

Traun meant this:

If its 2.5, try ls /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages

You're supposed to replace 2.X with the actual python version used here and when running "ln -s …" command in the shell to make a symlink. Your error means that django isn't installed or installed where python can't find it.

Re: Initialize Database

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 09:40:33 +0000

I think maybe Django is not being found by your pyton VM. I looked and the instructions were a little confusing:

 Get Django Django provides the O/R mapping layer to the database, and runs as a WSGI in the webserver and handles all the requests. Django has only been tested up to revision 5024, (in Django source tree). Attempting to run with later versions of Django won't work. cd /usr/src svn co --revision 5024 http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk/ django ln -s /usr/src/django/django /usr/lib/python2.x/site-packages See djangoproject.com for more complete instructions.

If you followed them literally you'd have a broken symlink.

Try this

Type "python" at command line
What version of python is it?
Type "import django" — do you get an error?
If its 2.5, try codels /usr/lib/python2.x/site-packages/code
Do you see a symlink to django subdirectory under the directory where you downloaded django to.

We are working on a version that will work with more recent versions of Django, but in the meantime you have to use an older one (as mentioned). Sorry about the hassle.

Also a little off topic, but the forum has a bit dead and we are discussing other options to engage the user community more. Would you prefer a mailing list or a better forum, or does the forum work for you?

You're running a version of django that is too new. Please install a supported version as described in the manual.
