Installed in Google App Engine but admin is empty
  • Hi,
    I've installed Live Blog using Google App Engine computer and followed every step in the install guide. Everything seems to start fine but when I try to access the admin interface I'm only getting one word "SuperDesk" in the top and it links back to the adminpage. Is there something I'm missing here?

    This is the output I'm getting when starting Live Blog:

  • This log is showing that everything worked well.
    Now the question is why isn't it working? there are two possibilities

    1) there is a proxy which is routing to something else.
    2) the default port in the configuration is 8080 maybe you didn't access the right server and port. 
  • Can you provide more details or some screen shoots on this behavior, maybe we can help more.
  • I figured it out, I installed it in my home directory, but after uninstalling and installing it in /opt instead it works like a charm :-) (So to be honest I failed following the instructions :-S)

    I had to use sudo on every command though, and I also have to run Live Blog with root access but do you think that would be a problem?

    In the terminal I'm getting

    ERROR    Exception occurred while writing to the connection '<socket.socket object, fd=46, family=2, type=2049, proto=0>' ally.http.server.server_asyncore


    Traceback (most recent call last):


      File "/opt/ally-py/live-blog/distribution/components/ally_http_asyncore_server-1.0.dev-py3.2.egg/ally/http/server/server_asyncore.py", line 244, in _3_handle_write


        else: sent = self.send(data)


      File "/usr/lib/python3.2/asyncore.py", line 374, in send


        result = self.socket.send(data)


    socket.error: [Errno 110] Connection timed out


    sometimes but I'm not sure what it means and if it's related to running it as root?

    One more thing. I'm just for the moment trying the cheapest version (standard) of Google App Engine, but the cpu is at 100% all the time. Is that normal? :)

  • I'm writing Google App Engine all the time, but I'm actually meaning Google Compute Engine.. Sorry about that.
  • I tried to create a new vm instance on GCE with 2 vCPUs and 7,8GB memory and now the load is at 2% instead. I'm not really sure why - I use the same disk instance but as long as it works I'm happy :)
