Windows Server Installation

[multiverseuser]

Hello,

I would like to setup a local server to test both the client and server side of
multiverse.

I have a vista computer SP1 and I installed the following packages:
* Python (2.5)
* PyODE
* Python-cjson
* Twisted
* PyCrypto
* PyOpenSSL
* Psyco
* PIL
Also
* within python25\lib\site-packages
I have
* zope + egg
* nevow

I tried the following command

twistd -n mv3d -i -n 1 -t 3

and I get a error from the following module:

C:\Python25\scripts\twistd.py: Unknown command: mv3d


I think I'm missing some twist or python mv3d configuration

Thanks,

[SirGolan]

Hoepfully this should be an easy one-- I think you will just need to run that command in the mv3d-0.3 directory (where there is a "mv3d" subdirectory and a "twisted" subdirectory). It is possible to make that command work from any directory by adding the mv3d-0.3 directory into your python path OR by installing Divmod Combinator. There's a good (but a little outdated) set of instructions for installing Combinator on Windows. The only thing really missing (other than links to outdated versions of packages) is that you need to add at least one environment var: COMBINATOR_PROJECTS which points to where you want to put your Projects folder. Combinator is very useful for managing multiple branches of an SVN tree. There's some Combinator documentation online as well.

To explain how twistd works a bit, it searches all entries in your PYTHONPATH for subdirectories named twisted\plugins. Then it loads plugins (like MV3D) from there. That's why it works if you run twistd in the same directory as MV3D.

Thanks,

Mike

I just noticed you mentioned that you ran twistd from the mv3d folder in the other thread. That's an interesting one then. I'm pretty sure that's how I run it on my laptop (since I don't have Combinator there), but I'll give it a try later today and let you know.

Hello again,

I added PYTHONPATH to the system variables with the following value
"C:\multiverse3d" because that it where my code is.

Also I added to the PATH c:\python25\scripts
This allows me to use any console to call the server.

Here is the latest error

C:\multiverse3d>twistd.py -n mv3d -i -n 1 -t 3

That traceback looks very familiar, but I can't remember what the issue is. I'll keep thinking about it and have a better look for a solution tomorrow.

[multiverseuser]

Looking at the trace, it looks like the errors are coming from
a missing configuration parameter or a missing module.

[SirGolan]

What if you just run a python interpreter and do a "from nevow import loaders, rend, inevow, guard, tags as T, appserver"? Do you get the same error message? It's got to be a dependency of nevow, but I'm not sure what it could be. Did you just install nevow, or all of the Divmod goodies? I'd suggest installing them all. Maybe that'll fix it.

[multiverseuser]

That fails.
I got the nevow from the mv3d-prereqs-windows.zip. I have never installed nevow, I just
copied the files over along with the zope egg info.

[SirGolan]

Hmm, could be that you need the rest of the Divmod stuff. You may want to try getting it from subversion:

Code: Select all

svn co http://divmod.org/svn/Divmod/trunk/ Divmod

(or using whatever svn client you have)

If you are going to run Combinator, it's probably best to use the link I gave before instead of just SVN'ing it with a command like above. Here's that link again: http://cyli.livejournal.com/22274.html

I installed the files you suggested. I got this:
