I am having issues with deployment though. As stated in "Note 3" from the instructions <a href="http://mediacorecommunity.org/docs/install/apache-wsgi.html">here</a>, I have added a VirtualHost include with the additional lines needed, changed to meet my installation of course. Currently, I still receive a 404.... what might be the problem? Apparently with my lack of any foundational knowledge in anything web related there is something I am missing! :) Help would be greatly appreciated! sixinco on "Problem with Apache and mod_fastcgi" http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/problem-with-apache-and-mod_fastcgi#post-3271 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 13:47:30 +0000 sixinco 3271@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ I have a new problem, I get a strange error: [Wed Nov 02 19:07:17 2011] [crit] (13)Permission denied: FastCGI: can't create (dynamic) server "/var/www/.../my_media/mediacore.fcgi What can it be and how do I solve this? aicm on "How to Install MediaCore on Webfaction" http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/how-to-install-mediacore-on-webfaction#post-836 Tue, 09 Nov 2010 01:25:45 +0000 aicm 836@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ Step 1: Go to your control panel and create a custom app (listening on port) - remember the port for mysql. Then login via SSH. Step 2: Get your own MySQL server. Set MY_PORT variable for our my.cnf later on. <code>MY_PORT=PUT_RESERVED_PORT_NUMBER_HERE</code> Make a folder to house our source. <code>mkdir -p ~/mysql/.src ~/mysql/tmp</code> Get source and install it. Visit <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/#downloads">the downloads section at mysql.com</a> and get the latest source code link. Copy it for the command below: <code>wget <a href="http://LINK/goes/here.tar.gz" rel="nofollow">http://LINK/goes/here.tar.gz</a></code> <code>tar xf mysql-5.x.x.tar.gz</code> <code>cd mysql-5.x.x</code> <code>./configure --prefix=$HOME/mysql</code> You have to wait a while here. <code>make</code> <code>make install</code> Okay, now on to config: <code>mkdir $HOME/mysql/etc</code> <code>cat > $HOME/mysql/etc/my.cnf << EOF</code> now copy paste this: <pre><code>[mysqld] port=$MY_PORT socket=$HOME/mysql/mysql.sock basedir=$HOME/mysql datadir=$HOME/mysql/data [client] port=$MY_PORT socket=$HOME/mysql/mysql.sock EOF</code></pre> All done. Now to export the new bin folder <code>echo export PATH=$HOME/mysql/bin:$PATH >> ~/.bash_profile</code> load up changes <code>source ~/.bash_profile</code> set up initial db <code>mysql_install_db --basedir=$HOME/mysql --datadir=$HOME/mysql/data --tmpdir=$HOME/mysql/tmp</code> Now you can start your mysql server by using this command. You may want to add this to a cron to make sure mysqld stays on. <code>cd $HOME/mysql; mysqld_safe --defaults-file=$HOME/mysql/etc/my.cnf &</code> Choose a password for your root user: <code>mysqladmin -u root -P $MY_PORT -S $HOME/mysql/mysql.sock password "YOURPASSWORDHERE"</code> Now that we have some libs python is going to use later on, let's add them to LD_LIBRARY_PATH <code>echo export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/mysql/lib/mysql >> ~/.bash_profile</code> Step 3: On to the fun stuff -installing MediaCore. Go to the control panel and add another app, this time a mod_wsgi 3.2/Python 2.5 one. Back to ssh now. Give mod_wsgi what it needs for later on: <code>cd $HOME/webapps/NAMEYOUGAVEYOURAPP/apache2/lib</code> <code>ln -s $HOME/mysql/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.so.16 ./libmysqlclient_r.so.16</code> Install virtualenv: <code>cd ../../</code> <code>easy_install-2.5 virtualenv</code> set up env for mediacore. <code>virtualenv --no-site-packages mediacore_env</code> activate env <code>source mediacore_env/bin/activate</code> There's no git, so unless you want to install it yourself or use git on your home pc and then upload mediacore files, just get the latest release of mediacore. At this time, it's 0.8.2. From here on you can follow the official installation documentation. I am including it in an attempt to save you time. <code>wget <a href="http://getmediacore.com/files/MediaCore-0.8.2.tar.gz" rel="nofollow">http://getmediacore.com/files/MediaCore-0.8.2.tar.gz</a></code> <code>tar zxvf MediaCore-0.8.2.tar.gz</code> <code>cd MediaCore-0.8.2</code> <code>python2.5 setup.py develop</code> <code>$HOME/mysql/bin/mysql -u root -p -S=$HOME/mysql/mysql.sock</code> <pre><code>create database DBNAMEHERE; grant usage on DBNAMEHERE.* to DBUSER@localhost identified by 'PASSWORDFORDBUSER'; grant all privileges on DBNAMEHERE.* to DBUSER@localhost; exit</code></pre> Edit your development.ini file and set your sqlalchemy.url to something like this. Remember to set the right MYSQLPORT - the first app you added in your control panel. <code>sqlalchemy.url = mysql://DBUSER:PASSWORDFORDBUSER@127.0.0.1:MYSQLPORT/DBNAMEHERE?charset=utf8&use_unicode=0</code> <code>paster setup-app development.ini</code> ok, now we have basic table structure, on to making search work: <code>$HOME/mysql/bin/mysql -u root -p -S=$HOME/mysql/mysql.sock DBNAMEHERE < setup_triggers.sql</code> Step 4: Deploying via mod_wsgi. Get another port for MediaCore's by adding a new listening on port custom app. Edit your deployment.ini, set your email, listening port to whatever port they give you for that last custom app, and then simply copy the sqlalchemy.url over from development.ini. The rest can be the same as <a href="http://getmediacore.com/docs/install/apache-wsgi.html">http://getmediacore.com/docs/install/apache-wsgi.html</a> Make sure you restart your apache server after modifying httpd.conf. I'll try to answer questions for as long as I can remember to revisit this post.

Everything is working fine, except deployment as wsgi. I have user level access, no root level, however I have a feeling that this isn't my problem. I followed <a href="http://getmediacore.com/docs/install/apache-wsgi.html">Apache & mod_wsgi Deployment</a> guide and have added the necessary lines to httpd.conf however when trying to start apache, I get the following error: <pre><code>Syntax error on line 49 of /home/aicm/webapps/mediacore_wsgi/apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Invalid command 'Allow', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration</code></pre> I don't know much about how apache works, but which one is the module needed to have apache understand Order, Allow and so on? I would think it's part of its core... Here's what my httpd.conf looks like: <pre><code>ServerRoot "/home/aicm/webapps/mediacore_wsgi/apache2" LoadModule dir_module modules/mod_dir.so LoadModule env_module modules/mod_env.so LoadModule log_config_module modules/mod_log_config.so LoadModule mime_module modules/mod_mime.so LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so LoadModule setenvif_module modules/mod_setenvif.so LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so LogFormat "%{X-Forwarded-For}i %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined CustomLog /home/aicm/logs/user/access_mediacore_wsgi.log combined DirectoryIndex index.py DocumentRoot /home/aicm/webapps/mediacore_wsgi/htdocs ErrorLog /home/aicm/logs/user/error_mediacore_wsgi.log KeepAlive Off Listen 16225 MaxSpareThreads 3 MinSpareThreads 1 ServerLimit 1 SetEnvIf X-Forwarded-SSL on HTTPS=1 ThreadsPerChild 5 WSGIDaemonProcess mediacore_wsgi processes=5 python-path=/home/aicm/webapps/mediacore_wsgi/lib/python2.6 threads=1 <Directory /home/aicm/webapps/mediacore_wsgi/htdocs> AddHandler wsgi-script .py </Directory> # You can tweak the WSGIDaemonProcess directive for performance, but this # will work for now. # Relevant doc pages: # <a href="http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/ProcessesAndThreading" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/ProcessesAndThreading</a> # <a href="http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/ConfigurationDirectives#WSGIDaemonProcess" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/ConfigurationDirectives#WSGIDaemonProcess</a> # Hint: pay attention to issues surrounding worker-mpm and prefork-mpm.

I have tried removing the first and leaving yours alone, but no go. I also tried commenting out mediacore WSGI statements but that didn't work either. So far, I have had 0 bright ideas.

HostMonster: PHP5 + MySQL + Python2.4 and 2.6 natively + FastCGI I'm not a expert in web, so I really need some help...someone? Following the mediacore docs and other tutorials over the web, I have installed a custom python2.6.5, with setuptools, flup and virtualenv modules. After that, I followed the MC doc, up to step 5, then step 7 to create deployment file. So, I moved ahead to Apache mod_fcgi install, following carefully each step, and, when I try to load my system, I got a 500 error. Looking is Error Logs this is the 'cause': <pre><code>'[Thu May 19 21:12:23 2011] [warn] [client 119.238.47.215] (104)Connection reset by peer: mod_fcgid: error reading data from FastCGI server [Thu May 19 21:12:23 2011] [error] [client 119.238.47.215] Premature end of script headers: mediacore.fcgi suexec failure: could not open log file fopen: Permission denied'</code></pre> And this one, I don't know if is a error from my website or not: <code>[Thu May 19 21:12:24 2011] [warn] RewriteCond: NoCase option for non-regex pattern '-f' is not supported and will be ignored.</code> Looking is Support page, they said me: FastCGI is set up as a module that can be enabled via your .htaccess. You can add this line for enabling that: `# Use PHP5CGI as default AddHandler fcgid-script .php` Changing that, nothing happened. This is my mediacore.fcgi <pre><code>#!/home1/iigdjapa/bin/python python_egg_cache = '/home1/iigdjapa/MediaCore-0.9.0/data/python-egg-cache' deployment_config = '/home1/iigdjapafrom /MediaCore-0.9.0/deployment.ini' temp_dir = '/home1/iigdjapa/MediaCore-0.9.0/data/tmp' # NOTE: Before running MediaCore, you will need to update the four paths # above to point to the appropriate locations for your installation. import os import sys os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE'] = python_egg_cache os.environ['TMPDIR'] = temp_dir if __name__ == '__main__': from paste.deploy import loadapp app = loadapp('config:'+deployment_config) from flup.server.fcgi import WSGIServer WSGIServer(app).run()</code></pre> And this is my .htaccess file: <pre><code>a# .htaccess file for installation of MediaCore with Apache/FastCGI # See installation instructions at <a href="http://getmediacore.com/docs/install/apache-fastcgi.html" rel="nofollow">http://getmediacore.com/docs/install/apache-fastcgi.html</a> # For security reasons, Option followsymlinks cannot be overridden. #Options +ExecCGI +FollowSymlinks Options +ExecCGI +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch # Use PHP5CGI as default AddHandler fcgid-script .php RewriteEngine On # Create rewrite rules for media and podcast images RewriteRule ^images/media/(.*)$ mediacore.fcgi/images/media/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^images/podcasts/(.*)$ mediacore.fcgi/images/podcasts/$1 [L] # Create rewrite rules for serving MediaCore's static content RewriteRule ^(admin/)?(styles|images|scripts)/(.*)$ public/$1$2/$3 [L] # Create rewrite rules for pointing mediacore requests to fastcgi script RewriteRule ^mediacore\.fcgi(/.*)$ - [L] # If the file requested doesn't exist on the filesystem, redirect to mediacore.fcgi RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ mediacore.fcgi/$1 [L]</code></pre> gigafide on "Bad interpreter: No such file or directory" http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/bad-interpreter-no-such-file-or-directory#post-1505 Fri, 25 Mar 2011 11:33:35 +0000 gigafide 1505@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ Hi guys, I have dreamhost shared hosting and was successfully able to get MediaCore 0.8.2 up and running. However, when I upgraded to 0.9, I get a 500 Internal Service Error when trying to deploy it. So then I cleared out all my files and did a fresh install from scratch. Same Error. I even reinstalled 0.8.2, but now that doesnt' work either. The development test through port 8080 works fine. So the error is somewhere in my mediacore.fcgi file, but I can't find it for the life of me. Here is the error report FastCGI: comm with (dynamic) server "/home/username/website_name/mediacore.fcgi" aborted: (first read) idle timeout (60 sec) FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from server "/home/username/website_name/mediacore.fcgi" and the bash terminal shows this (but trust me, it's there, with proper access rights): $HOME/mediacore_env/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory and lastly, here is a copy of my mediacore.fcgi edits: #!$HOME/mediacore_env/bin/python python_egg_cache = '$HOME/website_name/MediaCore-0.9.0/data/python-egg-cache' deployment_config = '$HOME/website_name/MediaCore-0.9.0/deployment.ini' temp_dir = '$HOME/website_name/MediaCore-0.9.0/data/tmp' I have tried all sorts of combinations, as far as file paths, but nothing works. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks guys!

He provide an MySQL, PERL, PHP5, PHP4, Python, Ruby and TCL, but I cannot have shell or another way to install Mod_wsgi. So can anyone help to resolve the problem or the share knowledge to use external Mod_wsgi or another way, because few weeks ago I pay for 2 years, because the quality is excellence and I cannot want to change it, but I want to use, test and contribute to this project!

I know that suphp is working because it was working with wordpress. I use suphp for write access from php/cgi. I have followed the directions, from the best that I can tell, correctly. I can run the server by doing the :: paster serve --reload development.ini :: and that seems to work on port 8080, though I'm not trying to run on port 8080, just standard port 80. I have made the change for it to run on port 80 in the deployment.ini file. though I can't get the paster serve to run on port 80, I can get it to run on port 8080. When trying to run with paster serve on port 80, it tells me that the port is already busy. In any condition I'm attempting to run it in, i get this error: <code>Premature end of script headers: mediacore.fcgi</code> in the error.log for the site. I have tried several configs in not only the .ini files but in the vhost.conf that plesk give me to make changes. I'm out of options, and the web is of little help it seems.

My host (1and1) has an older version of Python installed (2.4). I have shell access, so I assume I may be able to compile a newer version from source. Just wanted to know if anyone has had any success doing something similar.

Thats currently the only error in the error log, though as stated above I do seem to have other issues. I removed the virtualenv and started from scratch today installing a fresh copy of python 2.5 vs 2.6, updated pylons to 0.9.7 as I'd seen in another post, and checked my WSGI install which seems to be all setup. When I go to the URL it appears I'm put into a redirect loop, but given that its looking for a filename it will never find, I'd like to at least see if I can correct that first :) When I do a reload with the paste server, it's spitting back a lot of 'File' stuff, and I'm not familiar with it enough to know whether this is normal, of an issue. I have Apache 2.2, Python 2.5, root access, etc..

My question is that I will likely be initially deploying this on a shared host, I am specifically looking at the shared hosting plan on DreamHost (<a href="http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting.html)" rel="nofollow">http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting.html)</a>. Would this hosting plan be adequate for atleast a trial of running MediaCore? I have been working through the install instructions, including deployment on a share host via "Apache & mod_fastcgi Deployment". I became a bit confused when following the general install instructions (<a href="http://getmediacore.com/docs/install/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://getmediacore.com/docs/install/index.html</a>) on how one would perform stage 2 when not having root access to the shell? My apologies in advance for the very basic noobish questions, I previously was running a Wordpress install and am slowly learning more about CMS's and basic server usage.
