QuickStart Buildout

Thomas HÃ¤ny — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 18:31:13 +0000

Okay,

i see that this error was reported above.
The recompilation of python with
  ./configure --enable-unicode=ucs4
got me the error in make install:
> Compiling /opt/Python-2.4.6/lib/python2.4/zipfile.py ...
> make: *** [libinstall] Error 1
This could be ignored with:
make -i install
so, i got now a python-2.4.6. with UCS4:
    >>> import sys
    >>> print sys.maxunicode
    1114111

Then i got the "archetypes.schemaextender"-error reported above and with thiss correction the buildout and the start of the instance works fine.

I will wrote later a conclusion of all modifications to be done for a succesfull installation based on the svn-tag cynin_3_1_3.

@cynin: Ist the tag "cynin_3_2_2" free for public use?
If i try it, i get the same error like "earpnet" 16:48:

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/cynin_3_2_2/eggs/tmp7gQneU'

I prefer to use the Canin 3.2.2., becaus the new buildout-configuration is much better structured as the older one. I see, that you evolve the software... Thanks!

When you plan to publish this new version?

Regards
Thomas

QuickStart Buildout

Cyn.in Dependency installation using Package Managers

Ubuntu 8.0.4 (Hardy)

sudo apt-get build-dep python-ldap python-lxml

sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc g++ libc6-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libjpeg62-dev libreadline5-dev readline-common wv python2.4-dev poppler-utils python-imaging python-libxml2 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev subversion libdb4.4-dev libldap2-dev libsasl2-dev libssl-dev python-ldap python-setuptools

Ubuntu 8.1.0 (Intrepid) and Debian 5.0 (Lenny)

sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc g++ libc6-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libjpeg62-dev libreadline5-dev readline-common wv python2.4-dev poppler-utils python-imaging python-libxml2 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev subversion libsasl2-dev libssl-dev python-ldap libdb-dev libldap2-dev python-setuptools

Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty)

sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libjpeg62-dev libreadline5-dev wv libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libsasl2-dev poppler-utils libdb4.4-dev libldap2-dev python2.4-dev

Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic)

sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libjpeg62-dev libreadline5-dev wv libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libsasl2-dev poppler-utils libdb-dev libldap2-dev python2.4-dev

Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid)

sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libjpeg62-dev libreadline5-dev wv libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libsasl2-dev poppler-utils libdb-dev libldap2-dev

Ubuntu 10.04 does not ship with a package for python2.4, so we'll build it from source, like this:

Go to home directory:

cd ~

Make a folder for storing python source

mkdir src

Go to src folder

cd src

Download last python 2.4 source tarball

wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.6/Python-2.4.6.tgz

Extract the source and cd to the new folder

tar -zxf Python-2.4.6.tgz
cd Python-2.4.6

Run the configure script which will create a makefile to compile Python (lots of output with yes and no, this is normal)

./configure --with-threads --enable-unicode=ucs4 --with-readline

Run make to compile Python (lots of output, with pretty much unreadable stuff, again this is normal)

make

Run make test to ensure that there are no major problems (missing modules are generally okay, no test should fail)

make test

Install to your system with sudo

sudo make install

Test that it got installed properly:

python2.4 -V

Output from above command should be:

Python 2.4.6

That's it, you've got a running python that you can use for below. :)

Note: If you are doing above on a desktop edition of Ubuntu 10.04 then you will possibly have a problem with Ubuntu UI apps' default python getting clobbered with your new, compiled python version. To prevent this, you should remove the new python binary that landed in your /usr/local/bin folder:

sudo su
cd /usr/local/bin
rm python
exit
cd ~
python -V

The output from last command should be (where your x is whatever system default python is prevalent, as per last Ubuntu 2.6 package):

Python 2.6.x

Debian 5.0.4 (Lenny)

Contributed by @macagua from a Buildout Manual (Spanish version).

The following should work for Debian 5.0.4 (Lenny) x86 for the 'Cyn.in Dependency installation using Package Managers' section:

# aptitude install build-essential python2.4-dev libssl-dev libjpeg62-dev libreadline5-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libsasl2-dev libdb4.5-dev libldap2-dev zlib1g zlib1g-dev poppler-utils wv xpdf

CentOS 5.4

Contributed by @millisa and here's where CentOS is most discussed.

The following should work for CentOS 5.4 x86 for the 'Cyn.in Dependency installation using Package Managers' section:

sudo yum install openssl-devel libjpeg-devel readline-devel libgsf libxml2-devel libxslt-devel cyrus-sasl-devel poppler poppler-utils db4-devel openldap-devel python-devel gcc gcc-c++ glibc-devel python-imaging subversion python-ldap python-setuptools cvs

Obtain the wv package from the Dag repository at: http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/wv/ for your CPU architecture

for x86:

wget http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/wv/wv-1.2.4-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
sudo rpm -ivh wv-1.2.4-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

For Arch Linux

Arch Linux has a rolling release model, so surely when you installed your system and make the first upgrade you are almost on the last "release". Here is what you need for your installation of Cynin on Arch Linux (taken from the Spanish Installation Instructions in Narratopedia):

First install and configure Clyde or another package manager that let you access to the packages in AUR (Arch User Repository), then do:

sudo clyde -S python24 python24-ldap python24-pil python24-setuptools libjpeg6 wv libxml2 libxslt libsasl poppler

Mac OS X 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard)

Mac OS X 10.6.4 with the latest update has Python 2.6.1; we want 2.4. So we will build python using the plone collective python buildout, and then build a virtualenv from that. So for Mac OS X ignore the Make a new VirtualEnv for your login section, instead use the one outlined in this section.

Install XCode

You need to install XCode IDE to be able to compile, it installs gcc and cc1 etc., so pop in your Mac OS X cd and install that first.

Note: These instructions might work for other versions of Mac OS X. Let us know if it does. or if you have problems.

Export the python buildout from Plone collective

cd ~
svn export http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/buildout/python pythonbuildout
cd pythonbuildout

Comment out python25 and python26

Edit the buildout.cfg file to comment out the python25 and python26 parts, because we don't need/want them. Make it look like follows (Note: the # character *must* be the first character in the line):

# This is here just for backward compatibility
[buildout]
extends =
    src/base.cfg
    src/readline.cfg
    src/libjpeg.cfg
    src/python24.cfg
#    src/python25.cfg
#    src/python26.cfg
    src/links.cfg

parts =
    ${buildout:base-parts}
    ${buildout:readline-parts}
    ${buildout:libjpeg-parts}
    ${buildout:python24-parts}
#    ${buildout:python25-parts}
#    ${buildout:python26-parts}
    ${buildout:links-parts}

python-buildout-root = ${buildout:directory}/src
# we want our own eggs directory and nothing shared from a
# ~/.buildout/default.cfg to prevent any errors and interference
eggs-directory = eggs

[install-links]
prefix = /opt/local

Bootstrap Python with Buildout egg

Check that the Buildout egg is installed and if not, install it.

python bootstrap.py

Build the python buildout

After modifying the file like above, run:

./bin/buildout

This will take some time, (okay a lot of time, please be patient if you have low bandwidth or less CPU, python will be downloaded and built!). At the end of it, you'll have a ready python2.4 to use in the pythonbuildout/python-2.4 folder. We'll use this one to build the virtualenv folder at ~/venv.

Make a new VirtualEnv from this built python

./bin/virtualenv -p python-2.4/bin/python2.4 ~/venv

That command should give you a new python2.4 virtualenv ready to use, in further steps as per below (next is Install python dependencies to your VirtualEnv).

Make a new VirtualEnv for your login

After getting dependencies using your package manager, checkout any cyninsrc branch/trunk. From this, you'll find a file, ez_setup.py, you have to run this to install easy_install:

sudo python2.4 ez_setup.py -U setuptools

Next, we install virtualenv which will be used for installing required python dependencies of cyn.in:

sudo easy_install-2.4 -U virtualenv

Lets start by making a virtualenv based virtual python environment for our own usermode python installation:

virtualenv --python=python2.4 ~/venv

This makes a local python install at ~venv which we will now use to do the buildout. First we need to easy_install the dependencies.

Install python dependencies to your VirtualEnv

Use this concatenated command that will easy_install all dependencies together.

~/venv/bin/easy_install-2.4 ZopeSkel && ~/venv/bin/easy_install-2.4 lxml && ~/venv/bin/easy_install-2.4 python-ldap && ~/venv/bin/easy_install-2.4 http://dist.plone.org/thirdparty/PIL-1.1.7.tar.gz && ~/venv/bin/easy_install-2.4 ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/python/libxml2-python-2.4.30.tar.gz

Do Bootstrap

That's it for the dependencies, you're ready to do the buildout, just take care to use the venv python2.4 instead of the system-wide one.

cd to your buildout directory (it must have bootstrap.py, buildout.cfg, versions.cfg and user.cfg in it) and:

~/venv/bin/python2.4 bootstrap.py

Do Buildout

Now you can proceed as normal by running your buildout as always:

./bin/buildout -c user.cfg

Remember to open user.cfg in your text editor and change the effective-user setting to the linux user you want to run the Cyn.in instance with (typically your username), first!

Hi Cynin

Now, the buildout runs without error...
But i get another error, if i start the instance in the foreground:

Thomas HÃ¤ny — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 13:30:22 +0000

Hi Folks

i spent a hole day for searching and found it...
The problem is, that the version off "plone.reload" is not pinned in the version.cfg (or the buildout.cfg). In this case, the newest version >2.0 for plone.reload will be installed, which requires Zope >2.12 (and a lot og newer zope-eggs/five-eggs, see the list of lincolntlng).
For the Plone 3.3.5-buildout, which ist the base for cynin, Zope in 2.10.x will be installed. To solve the error, pin the version for plone.reload in the buildout.cfg (two "==" needed):
plone.reload==1.5
OR in the version.cfg (only one "=")
plone.reload = 1.5

Source of solution: http://plone.293351.n2.nabb[…]d-not-pinned-td6265328.html
and: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/plone.reload

This will solve the error with
UnknownExtra: zope.i18n 0.0 has no such extra feature 'zcml'

@cynin: Why you include the egg "plone.reload" in your public buildout? It should be used only for developement...

regards
Thomas

Thor Lincoln — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 08:50:48 +0000

Finally it concludes, but "./bin/instance start" will fail. The code:

[zope2]
fake-zope-eggs = true
skip-fake-eggs =
        zope.testing
        zope.component
        zope.i18n
        zope.interface
        zope.proxy
        zope.schema
        zope.security
        zope.lifecycleevent
        zope.traversing
        zope.publisher
        zope.contenttype
        zope.pagetemplate

additional-fake-eggs =
        five.localsitemanager

[versions]
five.localsitemanager = 2.0

Thor Lincoln — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 07:01:25 +0000

I made a progress, but it still fail... I added the following lines in my user.cfg:

[zope2]
fake-zope-eggs = true
skip-fake-eggs =
        zope.testing
        zope.component
        zope.i18n
        zope.interface
        zope.proxy
        zope.schema
        zope.security
        zope.lifecycleevent
        zope.traversing
        zope.publisher
        zope.contenttype
        zope.pagetemplate

additional-fake-eggs =
        Plone

[versions]
Plone = 0.0

It works until a message saying something about "five.localsitemanager" and its conflict with "zope.component"'s version.

Thor Lincoln — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 05:07:32 +0000

The error happens because of a change in Plone. If you wanna know more, follow this: http://plone.293351.n2.nabb[…]ning-buildout-td339436.html

What I tried to solve this was edit the user.cfg and add the following:

[zope2]
fake-zope-eggs = true
skip-fake-eggs =
        zope.testing
        zope.component
        zope.i18n

Then you'll get another error.

Thor Lincoln — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 04:33:05 +0000

Any ideas about that error?

Thomas HÃ¤ny — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 13:33:22 +0000

Is their any news about the error above?
Or is the cyn.in-project dead?

Uemit Seren — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 13:15:23 +0000

yes I had the same issue. The only solution is to do a buildout on the new 3.2.x branch. The new one works.

Hi everyone!

I installed a Cyn.in instance months ago and it went perfectly smooth, but now i'm trying to install it again in a production environment and i get the following error:

http://pastebin.com/iTSUF06Y

Thanks in advance for any help.

Tue, 08 Mar 2011 16:55:07 +0000

Hey.
That error was because I missed the "archetypes.schemaextender==1.5"

Sorry. You guys had already mentioned it in here.

So keeping sharp!
Thanks again
