[Webware-discuss] 1. InstallGuide Error 2. Installation problem

[Jon S. <sc...@di...>]

Webware looks promising but I'm having trouble. (RH linux 6.2)

1.  I think I found an error in your documentation
\Webware\WebKit\Docs\InstallGuide.html.  Where it says

  a.. Using a text editor, change the line in WebKit.cgi that reads
WebKitDir = None to point to WebKit. For example, WebKitDir =
'/home/me/Webware/WebKit'.

There is no such line.  There is a line that says WebwareDir = None
So I changed that line to WebwareDir = /home/jon/Webware

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.  Now, I don't know if its related or not but when I run bash AppServer I
get

  ...If AppServer is called with no arguments, it will start the AppServer
and record the pid of the process in appserverpid.txt

  Error starting the AppServer
  Traceback:

As you can see below, I do have that config file, and this is what it says
  [root@rh62 Configs]# pwd

  [root@rh62 Configs]# cat AppServer.config

  }

Any suggestions?  My first guess is that, because I copied these files from
DOS the line-endings might be confusing things.  But I'm sufficiently
confused that I'm going to wait for some guidance.  Thank you!

PS.
Here's what I got when I ran install.py
  root@rh62 Webware]# python install.py

[Webware-discuss] MiddleKit installation

[Gregory B. <gr...@wi...>]

What is the best strategy for installing the stubs generated
by MiddleKit.  It appears that both the MiddleKit directory and
MiscUtils have to be in the PYTHONPATH for MiddleKit to work.
You could get this by just putting the Webware directory in your
PYTHONPATH, but you also need the Stubs to be in your PYTHONPATH.
And, you need the mkmodel directory with the Classes.csv file to
be accessable somewhere on the filesystem.  How do people
normally go about organizing this?

Having Classes.csv accessible in your file system is the same issue as 
reading any file (like you would with open()). You need to know where it's at.

If you're talking about WebKit integration, I usually implement:

def contextInitialize(app, ctxPath):


In the __init__.py of my context and then locate the model relative to 
ctxPath as well as augment sys.path to include the directory *of* the 
directory containing my "middle" classes. Inside the .mkmodel I will have a 
Settings.config that looks something like this:

{
         'Package': 'Middle',
         #'SQLLog': { 'File': 'mk-sql.log' },
}

Then to import one of my classes:

from Middle.Thing import Thing


This packaging keeps my middle class names from colliding with other Python 
modules.
