I'm trying to install from the source using virtualenv as per manual and per control scripts within the DEB package as well but ending with the below django errors

Hi, sorry about my silly error with sed, this should be fixed in the next snapshot with the commit 2e8aca6

As for the issue with editor_language in the traceback, which instructions for creating the database are you following please? In general I would not recommend mixing the install from git and the install from deb package as they use slightly different methods for different audiences (developer and production).

[vClouds]

Hi, Thanks for reply,
Following the git clone as per manual always fails at migrate stage results in many django errors as shown in the traceback above.
My observation as compared with deb install method is python requirements doesn't collect the folder named Booktype.egg-info and its contents, not sure if this the root causes of django errors or not, as all other configurations and settings are correct.

Well, I have already working stack now by doing the above said approach as work-around

PostgreSQL Database

sudo -i -u postgres
psql
CREATE USER booktype password 'Zerro7SQL';
CREATE DATABASE booktype owner booktype encoding 'utf-8';
\q
exit

After installation of all dependencies, deb package were installed with no instance to be created.
Using git to clone a master copy and get it merged with the unpacked deb files /var/lib/booktype before pulling.
Activate the virtualenv and update the prod requirements before creating instance manually.

I'm not sure that, this stack can be classified as production environment or no, but that's what I can get as of now.

x
sudo dpkg -i booktype.deb
cd /var/lib/booktype
sudo git clone https://github.com/sourcefabric/Booktype.git --branch master --depth 1
cloned files were merged back before proceeding with
sudo git pull origin master
reboot

source /var/lib/booktype/bin/activate
/var/lib/booktype/bin/pip install --upgrade pip
/var/lib/booktype/bin/pip install pyparsing appdirs
/var/lib/booktype/bin/pip install --upgrade virtualenv
/var/lib/booktype/bin/pip install -r /var/lib/booktype/requirements/prod.txt

Glad to hear you have a working instance! I'll attempt to replicate your Django issues when we package the forthcoming 2.3.0 release.
