Jorge/All,

One other piece of info. Tg-admin toolbox also has a similar issue as the catwalk does. It seems like it can't 'find' the project. Just to doublecheck on two basic things that may be the source of my problems:

1)     Should the config files (prod.cfg and the config dir) be in a local area where I tell the user to launch from or should this be placed under sitepackages or in the egg somehow?

oh how dumb of me, i totally forgot about that, if you look at your start-*.py file you will see that the configFile may be pass in as a param.

2)     Should users be required to be in the above directory when starting the app.


yes the default is to look for dev/prod.cfg in the same dir as start-*.py

Thanks for the great help all,

 

Brandon

All,

Ok - figure I'm missing something basic. Goal here is to provide my TG app to others in any easy manner - although if someone has an idea on how to obscure the code it would be great...


I believe there is a flag you set that will create a pyc only egg

 

Do you happen to know that flag. Had trouble RTFM'ing to find it.


no I'm not that kind of person :p but Matt reply below

 

My problem is that using setup.py I've built my app as an egg. When I install it using easy-install it copies all to sitepackages fine. If I have a c:/myapp web area and put the config files there as well as config directory and run from there all works fine EXCEPT for catwalk.


as far as I know all the config is loaded the same way by all tg internals
 

 

Catwalk seems to want all my code in this directory as well.


error message? 

Error trace is:

it seems to be a problem with json / jsonify  I don't use catwalk so I haven't look at the code (well I did way back went it was not in TG :p) so i can't tell, maybe someone else can reply now that there is a traceback.

 

Any thoughts- is there a right way to externally deploy this that I'm missing?


well catwalk by default doesn't allows access from an IP diferent then localhost, if this is your problem

you need to pass in those IPs

http://trac.turbogears.org/turbogears/browser/trunk/turbogears/toolbox/catwalk/__init__.py#L99

No issue on this one – accessing via localhost only. Issue is the remote test installation…


huh? if your in remote then your not localhost. is this a server? if you can ssh to that machine ... umm sorry its windows, if you can get a cmd or a remote desktop connection and run it locally there? did you try going to the machine (if you can) and run it there?   or I just didn't undestand what you mean by "remote"

 

BTW: For doing an installation I've noticed I can't simply reference turboGears in my dependencies. I need to explicitly install it separately since I am using a6.


yes that is because TG 0.9a6 is alpha and it's not in pypi so it pulls the lastest there http://www.python.org/pypi/TurboGears/0.8.9

Right now, I'm doing this via web install off the preview/download/index.html site (which is a bit dangerous)


why?

 

I haven't found a way to get it to take all the eggs locally instead so am requiring an internet connection as well…


- download all the .egg files
- zip them if you want
- move them to your server
- unzip (make sure they are all in the same directory
- run easy_install -f . TurboGears (note there is a dot that is look for eggs in . which if you don't know is current directory)
NOTE: if you have an older version you may need -U

 

Thanks again for assistance,


sure np

 

Brandon
