error on first run

[MrPetru]

Hi,
I just want to give a try to this OpenRenderManagement tool :) ... to see if it can fit my needs in a distributed rendering system.

I used the instructions that are described in your puli readme file.

• install dependency
• configure database
• include ~/apps/puli/Puli/src to my PYTHONPATH (there are octopus folder)
• change configuration file

but when i'm going to lunch it for first time I got this error:

python ~/apps/puli/Puli/scripts/dispatcherd.py -D -C
06:10:15 dispatcher INFO settings.DEBUG = True
06:10:15 dispatcher INFO settings.ADDRESS = 127.0.0.1

File "/home/petru/apps/puli/Puli/src/octopus/dispatcher/dispatcher.py", line 85, in init
self.defaultPool = self.dispatchTree.pools['default']
KeyError: 'default'

why this error, where is default pool defined, how can I fix this?

thanks,
Petru

I have the same error. Anyone ever solve this?

[MrPetru]

sorry but I have not been able to solve this problem. and there was not time to do it :)

Hi,

Can you send your settings.py file ?
It might be a pb when loading pools or workers definition file (located in etc/workers.lst and etc/pools, can you drop the content of you install dir ?
Best,

Jerome

Here you go...

import os


def getLocalAddress():
    import socket
    try:
        s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
        s.connect(('0.0.0.0', 56))
        return s.getsockname()[0]
    except:
        return "127.0.0.1"


def loadSettingsFile(filename):
    g = {}
    l = {}
    execfile(filename, g, l)
    settings = ((name, value) for name, value in l.items() if name.isupper() and  name in globals())
    globals().update(settings)

OK, so I got a step closer.
The settings.py needed to have
DB_CLEAN_DATA = False

now I get the following error

16:49:05 dispatcher   INFO settings.DEBUG = True
16:49:05 dispatcher   INFO settings.ADDRESS = 127.0.0.1

Hi,

Actually fir the first run, the settings must be:

POOLS_BACKEND_TYPE = "file"
DB_ENABLE = True
DB_CLEAN_DATA = True

The historical way to initialize the DB (by 'historical' I mean, I don't think it is a good way to do it and this process might change in the future) is to first run the dispatcher with settings indicating to clean the DB.

Once init is complete, you must stop the dispatcher and call it again with a new set of settings:

POOLS_BACKEND_TYPE = "db"
DB_ENABLE = True
DB_CLEAN_DATA = False

On the following starts, the system is operationnal (well should be).
Sorry for the delay, I'll try to keep an eye on this thread
