Hello Jude,

There was a problem creating the virtualenv, seems like it was related to
installing pip, I have seen this in the past but have not been able to
reproduce it reliably.

I have fixed it in the past by removing python-pip and or python-virtualenv
but that causes other problems. It seems to be related to having older
versions of pip conflict with the virtualenv (Last pip release is > 1.0, and
the log is referencing pip-0.6.3).

Hopefully we will find a workaround for the installer. Can you tell me more
about the specific version of Ubuntu you are using (the number after
10.04.??, it should be something between 01 and 04).

Did it happen when you created a new machine? Can you switch to Ubuntu
11.04?

Ariel.

That means the ubuntu repo version of pip is installed via apt. If
setuptools is on the system then
sudo easy_install -U pip would force an upgrade using pypi and probably
pull the latest. One could also apt-get purge python-pip (guessing
package name) before using easy_install to get the old one out of the
way 100%.

Enjoy,
Alex

Yes Alex, I agree with you that could solve it too. Although I don't like
much the fact that it uses a network connection.

I also discovered that doing:

apt-get purge geonode tomcat6
apt-get install geonode

after a failed install in 10.04.01 LTS results in a successful installation.

Unfortunately I will not be able to work on a fix for this until tomorrow.
But anyone interested can build their own packages using:
http://github.com/geonode/geonode-deb

Thanks again for the help of the community debugging this issues, the same
problem does not happen in the Ubuntu 10.04 machine that I used to test the
packages, seems like it only happens the first time geonode tries to be
installed.

Ariel.

Here is a process that leads to a successful installation based on Alex's
feedback:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ingenieroariel/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install geonode

I added the pip upgrade command to the install.sh script and also a step
that fails fast if the virtualenv has not been created.

Ariel.
PS: The name of the actual package is geonode_1.1+RC1-ariel2 I added my name
so you know if that one does not work I am the person you need to bug :)   I
will be talking to the rest of the GeoNode team on monday about updating the
official repo.

Hi Ariel,
  Since you suggested Jude to switch to 11.04 I would like to mention that
Geonode setup is still not working on this version. I'm getting the
following error.

Martin, that exhibits the same problem. I will make tests in all recent
ubuntu distros today and hopefully find what is going wrong. Thanks for your
help debugging the packages.

I just did a successful install in Ubuntu 10.10:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ingenieroariel/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install geonode


Same instructions failed in 10.04 with the error you are reporting here. I
will investigate right now and report back.

Ariel.
