Hi David, Your advice was spot on. There were a series of errors recorded in the logs, which I think I have now resolved: 1) A typo in geonode.wsgi 2) Invalid syntax in my secret_key in local_settings.py (I thought I needed this, but each time I generated one using the instructions and pasted it into local_settings.py I got an error about invalid syntax so I left it as an empty string) 3) OGRFailure, so I needed to install libproj_dev
I am not in a position to access the site at a localhost address (even using proxying in firefox) but I can certainly now see the geonode site at the root address, even though it's missing all the css etc, which I would expect. I will investigate further on Monday (and am very much looking forward to getting to grips with GeoNode!)

I did follow the instructions to disable the default site and enable the geonode one. I will check the mod_wsgi settings though. Many thanks Jo ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Winslow" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, 10 December, 2010 5:48:05 PM Subject: Re: [geonode] Ubuntu deployment issues Do you really get a tomcat error from http://localhost/ ? That sounds like some proxying problem... if http://localhost/ is not the Django app, that would cause some issues for GeoServer trying to retrieve user info. I would recommend reviewing your apache proxy/mod_wsgi configuration. http://docs.geonode.org/1.0-RC3/logging.html may be of use to you. You should also have some basic error reporting from mod_wsgi in /var/log/apache2/error_log . -- David Winslow OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org/ On Fri, Dec 10, 2010 at 12:41 PM, Joanne Cook < [email protected] > wrote: Dear All, I am attempting to deploy Geonode, using the most recent Release Candidate (RC4), using the instructions here: http://docs.geonode.org/1.0-RC3/deploy/ubuntu.html As far as I can tell (which isn't saying much), all the steps have completed correctly. However when I try and access either the geoserver instance at http://localhost:8080/geoserver-geonode-dev , or the site root page at http://localhost I get an apache tomcat error saying: Error connecting to GeoNode authentication server: GeoNode communication failed, status report is: 500, Internal Server Error Looking through the tomcat logs (catalina.out) it seems to work it's way through the geoserver startup, but then I get an error when I try and actually access the pages noted above. The geonetwork install seems to be working OK, in that I can get to the front page of that at http://localhost:8080/geonetwork . I can browse the static files, eg http://localhost/geonode-client/gn/theme/app/img/header-bg.png Any help would be greatly appreciated.
