[Booki-dev] Problems installing Booki on Fedora 11

[James Simmons]

Douglas and Aleksander,

We may be on the home stretch here.  I am able to use OBJAVI
standalone and it works fine.  Booki still hangs when run as manage.py
runserver, so I want to give it a virtual host instead.  I use these
values:

<VirtualHost *:8000>
	# ServerName sugarlabs.simmons
	ServerAdmin nicestep at gmail.com

	DocumentRoot /home/jim/olpc/booki/booki

	<Directory /usr/share/pyshared/django/contrib/admin/media/>
	Order allow,deny
	Allow from all
	</Directory>


	<Location "/">

	    SetHandler python-program
	    PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
	    SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE booki.settings
	    PythonDebug On
	    PythonPath "['/home/jim/olpc/booki/booki/lib'] + sys.path"

	</Location>

	<Location "/favicon.ico">
	    SetHandler None
	</Location>
        <Location "/media">
            SetHandler None
        </Location>

	Alias /favicon.ico /home/jim/olpc/booki/booki/favicon.ico
	Alias /media/ /usr/share/pyshared/django/contrib/admin/media/

	ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/booki-error.log

	# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
	# alert, emerg.
	LogLevel warn

	CustomLog /var/log/apache2/booki-access.log combined
	ServerSignature On

</VirtualHost>

</VirtualHost>

The virtual host for OBJAVI works, the one for Booki does not.  I can
do http://sugarlabs.simmons and OBJAVI will come up.  I can't get
anything to come up for port 8000.  I have confirmed that mod_python
is in fact installed.  apache_ctrl -S does show both virtual hosts.
Booki is actually installed in directory /home/jim/olpc/booki/booki
because f the way I used Git.  (For OLPC projects you need to create
the directory for the project and Git creates a directory underneath
it called "mainline").

If either of you can help me over this I promise to write a detailed
article on setting this stuff up for the Booki Blog.

Thanks,

James Simmons
