Install issues: Could not find the nav.startstop module

Greetings! I am on my third attempt of installing NAV 3.5.6 on a Ubuntu 10.04 server 64bit machine and have followed the Debian cookbook each time, but to no avail. Everything seems to install just fine, but when I attempt to start NAV it gives this fatal error: testuser@metanav-test:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/nav start Starting Network Administration Visualized: Fatal error: Could not find the nav.startstop module. Is your PYTHONPATH environment correctly set up? testuser@metanav-test:~$ Upon install, the PYTHONPATH environment variable isn’t initialized, but I have tried manually adding a python directory but still no good. Other paths that I have used are: $PYTHONPATH:/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/nav/ $PYTHONPATH:/usr/share/python-support/nav/nav/s Any ideas what the issue could be with starting NAV? Here is my environmental variable list: testuser@metanav-test:~$ printenv TERM=xterm SHELL=/bin/bash SSH_CLIENT=10.30.38.220 1760 22 SSH_TTY=/dev/pts/0 USER=testuser LS_COLORS=rs=0:di=01;34:ln=01;36:hl=44;37:pi=40;33:so=01;35:do=01;35:bd=40;33;01 :cd=40;33;01:or=40;31;01:su=37;41:sg=30;43:ca=30;41:tw=30;42:ow=34;42:st=37;44:e x=01;32:*.tar=01;31:*.tgz=01;31:*.arj=01;31:*.taz=01;31:*.lzh=01;31:*.lzma=01;31 :*.zip=01;31:*.z=01;31:*.Z=01;31:*.dz=01;31:*.gz=01;31:*.bz2=01;31:*.bz=01;31:*. tbz2=01;31:*.tz=01;31:*.deb=01;31:*.rpm=01;31:*.jar=01;31:*.rar=01;31:*.ace=01;3 1:*.zoo=01;31:*.cpio=01;31:*.7z=01;31:*.rz=01;31:*.jpg=01;35:*.jpeg=01;35:*.gif= 01;35:*.bmp=01;35:*.pbm=01;35:*.pgm=01;35:*.ppm=01;35:*.tga=01;35:*.xbm=01;35:*. xpm=01;35:*.tif=01;35:*.tiff=01;35:*.png=01;35:*.svg=01;35:*.svgz=01;35:*.mng=01 ;35:*.pcx=01;35:*.mov=01;35:*.mpg=01;35:*.mpeg=01;35:*.m2v=01;35:*.mkv=01;35:*.o gm=01;35:*.mp4=01;35:*.m4v=01;35:*.mp4v=01;35:*.vob=01;35:*.qt=01;35:*.nuv=01;35 :*.wmv=01;35:*.asf=01;35:*.rm=01;35:*.rmvb=01;35:*.flc=01;35:*.avi=01;35:*.fli=0 1;35:*.flv=01;35:*.gl=01;35:*.dl=01;35:*.xcf=01;35:*.xwd=01;35:*.yuv=01;35:*.axv =01;35:*.anx=01;35:*.ogv=01;35:*.ogx=01;35:*.aac=00;36:*.au=00;36:*.flac=00;36:* .mid=00;36:*.midi=00;36:*.mka=00;36:*.mp3=00;36:*.mpc=00;36:*.ogg=00;36:*.ra=00; 36:*.wav=00;36:*.axa=00;36:*.oga=00;36:*.spx=00;36:*.xspf=00;36: MAIL=/var/mail/testuser PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games PWD=/home/testuser LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHLVL=1 HOME=/home/testuser PYTHONPATH=/usr/bin/python/ LOGNAME=testuser SSH_CONNECTION=10.30.38.220 1760 10.50.21.5 22 LESSOPEN=| /usr/bin/lesspipe %s LESSCLOSE=/usr/bin/lesspipe %s %s _=/usr/bin/printenv testuser@metanav-test:~$ Regards, Justin Callistini IT AIS Workstudy George Fox University

Strange Python Errors after Upgrade to latest Beta
by Rudolph Bott 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Hi List, I upgraded my 3.5.4 installation of NAV to the latest Beta (3.6.0b4) and ran into the error posted below. I configured NAV from scratch, updated the Database with the pgsql scripts and everything seems to be fine: I can login using a LDAP backend, see the welcome page and user information etc - but as soon as I click on 'Toolbox' I receive an error message. It thought it might be related to the 'ForgetSQL thing' but according to this list, ForgetSQL is not a requirement any more (starting with 3.6) - or am I wrong on this one? My system is Ubuntu 9.04, running with Python 2.5.4 and 2.6.2 installed. ForgetSQL is 0.5.1. == snip == MOD_PYTHON ERROR ProcessId: 22003 Interpreter: '<hostname>' ServerName: '<hostname>' DocumentRoot: '/usr/local/nav/apache/webroot' URI: '/toolbox/' Location: None Directory: '/usr/local/nav/apache/webroot/toolbox/' Filename: '/usr/local/nav/apache/webroot/toolbox/' PathInfo: '' Phase: 'PythonHandler' Handler: 'toolbox' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/mod_python/importer.py", line 1537, in HandlerDispatch default=default_handler, arg=req, silent=hlist.silent) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/mod_python/importer.py", line 1229, in _process_target result = _execute_target(config, req, object, arg) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/mod_python/importer.py", line 1128, in _execute_target result = object(arg) File "/usr/local/nav/apache/webroot/toolbox/toolbox.py", line 39, in handler page.tools = toolbox.filterToolList(toolbox.getToolList(), req.session['user']) File "/usr/local/nav/lib/python/nav/web/toolbox.py", line 71, in filterToolList if nav.auth.hasPrivilege(user, 'web_access', tool.uri): File "/usr/local/nav/lib/python/nav/auth.py", line 58, in hasPrivilege raise "user parameter is of invalid type %s" % type(user) TypeError: exceptions must be classes or instances, not str MODULE CACHE DETAILS Accessed: Wed Jul 21 14:12:30 2010 Generation: 1 _mp_34a3546f4bff52bdef2b9323a235d99b { FileName: '/usr/local/nav/apache/webroot/toolbox/toolbox.py' Instance: 1 [IMPORT] Generation: 2 Modified: Mon Nov 16 11:51:45 2009 Imported: Wed Jul 21 14:12:30 2010 } == snip == Any help would be appreciated!

Announcement: NAV 3.6.0b4 released
by Morten Brekkevold 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

The fourth beta test release of NAV 3.6 is now available for download at Launchpad, NAV 3.6.0b4: https://launchpad.net/nav/3.6/3.6.0b4 Beta testing is open to anyone, but please be aware, this code IS NOT production ready. If you wish to test the beta code, do so on a dedicated test system. Three of our own customers, in addition to our self, will be running "official" beta tests, so we have a good spread in the types of networks and devices we get to test the new code on. See the abovementioned URL for changelog and release notes. A binary package for Debian 5 (Lenny) will be made available as soon as possible. The Debian package is maintained by Morten Werner Forsbring, on commission From UNINETT. Happy NAVing everyone! -- Morten Brekkevold UNINETT
