Install issues: Could not find the nav.startstop module - Nav-users

27 Jul 2010


      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:
