Apache error after easy_install the new version

[webmaster@…]

hey guys. I wanted to try the new version of that feature, because the olde one destroyed my customized mainnav.

I downloaded the source, compiled it with 'python setup.py bdist_egg' and installed the created egg file with easy_install.

After restarting my apache, i could access any of my projects... not even the index-page...

A view into the error.log of apache showed:

I had to deinstall it and restart again to get access to my projects...

Any hints or help regarding that?

kind regards meneke

I'm not really sure what the problem is. We're running trac 11.4 w/ py2.5 too.

From the last line of your error log:

[Fri Aug 28 10:29:24 2009] [error] [client 192.168.128.172] IOError: zipimport: can not open file /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Tracticketstats-2.1-py2.5.egg

sounds like maybe your app doesnt have permission to read the file or something? Maybe try doing the bdist_egg and dropping the egg in your trac plugins directory instead of installing to site packages.

You might also try doing sudo python setup.py install (though that should essentially do the same thing as bdist_egg + setup_tools (i think).

hmm thx...

now its working and all is fine :-)

the reason was: the created egg-file had NO Permission to nobody (000), although i created the egg as root!!

a chmod +rw to the egg file before easy_install and the apache is still running :-)

and my customized mainnav is still there and clickable :-)

thx 4 the hint :-) kind regards meneke

And also i had to delete the version v1 of that plugin... an upgrade broke the apache too. dont ask me why im glad its working now :-)

time to test the next plugin
