make_project crashed with ImportError in __main__: No module named boinc_path_config

[Sasa Paporovic]

I am on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit updated to 23.1.2012

I have tried to setup a BOINC-Server with the boinc-server-maker package 7.0.7+dfsg-1 and this workflow:

http://wiki.debian.org/BOINC/ServerGuide

and have just executed:

sudo PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/share/pyshared/Boinc/ \
 /usr/share/boinc-server/tools/make_project \
  --url_base "$hosturl" --db_name "$dbprojectname" \
  --db_user boincadm --db_passwd "$pw" \
  --drop_db_first \
  --project_root "$installroot"/"$fileprojectname" \
  --srcdir /usr/share/boinc-server/ \
   "$fileprojectname" "$niceprojectname"

which causes the error on terminal:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/boinc-server/tools/make_project", line 6, in <module>
    import boinc_path_config
ImportError: No module named boinc_path_config

A fix for that import error would be good.

seems to be a config problem... did you try to look at this?
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=7014

[Sasa Paporovic (melchiaros)]

Yes, have seen this. It is what it is -> useless.

The talk is about triaging the problem and giving it to a vm malfunction. And the rest is not much better.

I am on metal not on a vm.

What this here affect: boinc-server-maker is from the last GSOC and tries to encapsulate most of the configuration steps. Especially those which makes problems here, so it is not a case of misconfiguration by a user, it is a problem with the configuration scripts that are in the boinc-server-maker package.

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

I'm building boinc 7.0.15 development release in my ppa...

could you please give it a try?

[Sasa Paporovic (melchiaros)]

I have looked into your ppa.

The only packages I see there are named boinc.

So?

This report is on boinc-server-maker.

How should I understand? Have you included all in your boinc packages?Also the boinc-server-maker scripts?

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

I'm currently building the 64bit boinc packages...

so please wait until they get built...

I'm building boinc-server-maker too, but you have to wait until it gets published...
http://ppa.launchpad.net/costamagnagianfranco/boinc/ubuntu/pool/main/b/boinc/

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

they should be published...

please try again after a "sudo apt-get update" ;)

[Sasa Paporovic (melchiaros)]

In moment I am on Ubuntu11.10. I would test the packages for that version on the next sunday.

Earlier is not possible to me.

(no problem, just a suggestion: I built this boinc version for oneiric too)

I admit not to have addressed that issue. It can be circumvented by setting the PYPATH environment variable, just like shown on
the ServerGuide page on the wiki ... at least so I recall. What exactly needs to be done to get this all configured correctly ab
initio I cannot tell.

Cheers,
