Hmmm, nothing really jumps out at me as being wrong.

Have you checked your Apache logs?

I haven't downloaded or tried this yet but was just looking through the github pages and install instruction and screen shots and I must say it looks gorgeous!

Coming from mediafrontpage where I helped out a little I would like to give my two cents in saying that requiring a web server is a bad idea. This is where most of users come stuck. I would suggest if possible to find a python framework that allows you to incorporate everything together much like sickbeard which doesn't need a separate web server. Other than that it looks amazing and I can't wait to try it out.

Regards

DejaVu · 2011-11-03 00:00

This is seriously impressive! I too have been using/editing/struggling with Mediafrontpage to the point of giving up.

I thought the JSON RPC API changes would be its death, but see this as its replacement.

Could I make a coulpe of suggestions/requests...

hard drive capacity widget and frontend settings editing.

Will be installing this now. Smile

HarryRosen · 2011-11-03 00:11

if anyone has been able to get this to work can you please post your process and maybe your config files please

Thanks

Here is my FULL process for XBMCLive from the start that does not work... yet.
XBMCLive with 31 October 2011 nightly build - users available are "xbmc" and "root". (WSGI will be blocked if run as root.) As far as I can tell XBMCLive does not use a user group.

to make sure apache2 was installed correctly

Code:

sudo apt-get install apache2

installed mod_wsgi as required.

Code:

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi

made sure python was installed and uptodate.

Code:

sudo apt-get install python

setup python-setuptools as required.

Code:

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools

'Easy Installed' Flask

Code:

sudo easy_install Flask

'Easy Installed' jsonrpclib

Code:

sudo easy_install jsonrpclib

Install git if not done already

Code:

sudo apt-get install git-core

Clone the repo to the correct place

Code:

sudo git clone https://github.com/mrkipling/maraschino.git /var/www/htpc-frontend

Created the correct settings.py file for htpc-frontend to run.

Code:

sudo cp /var/www/htpc-frontend/settings_example.py /var/www/htpc-frontend/settings.py

Create a WSGI file

Code:

sudo nano /var/www/htpc-frontend/htpcfrontend.wsgi

Paste in this file -

Code:

import sys

sys.path.insert(0, "/var/www/htpc-frontend")

from htpcfrontend import app as application

So far so good - that's the easy-ish bit out of the way.

Apache
On XMBLive is located in /etc/apache2
We have 'sites-available' and 'sites-enabled' folders. As far as I can tell, 'sites-available' is ignored (available does not mean it's enabled!).

So 'sites-enabled' should have a new file in it called 'htpcfrontend.conf' with the following in it -

Code:

<VirtualHost *>

ServerName htpcfrontend

WSGIDaemonProcess htpcfrontend user=xbmc threads=5

WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/htpc-frontend/htpcfrontend.wsgi

<Directory /var/www/htpc-frontend>

WSGIProcessGroup htpcfrontend

WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}

Order deny,allow

Allow from all

</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

Enable the site (just incase) -

Code:

a2ensite htpcfrontend

= ERROR: Site htpcfrontend does not exist!
Ignoring that - Restarted XBMCLive machine just to make sure Apache restarts properly. It does.

Going to http://xbmclive, http://xbmclive/htpc-frontend, http://192.168.0.4 or http://192.168.0.4/htpc-frontend still just brings up the directory listing.
http://htpcfrontend brings up a 404 Error.

I cannot help thinking something needs enabling in mod_wsgi in the conf's somewhere - removing a '#' perhaps in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/wsgi.conf?

If mrkipling can go through the above and confirm it's all good. There is something still seriously wrong - this being the case and to save a lot more headaches, can I suggest - http://www.cherrypy.org/ as per SB and CP. Wink

Has ANYONE got this working properly yet on any system other than mrkipling!?

HarryRosen · 2011-11-03 03:18

under the apache part put the file in the sites-available part and when you run the

a2ensite htpcfrontend

it should put it in the sites-enabled

thats what I did, but it still won't start only list the dir structure

DejaVu · 2011-11-03 03:37

I still get

ERROR: Site htpcfrontend does not exist!

when doing that way too. Sad
