Virtual Machine
This virtual machine has been built to allow Developers to get operational quickly (1 Gb):
It is in the Open Virtual Machine format for use in either VirtualBox or VMWare.
It is currently running the Ubuntu 10.04 OS with Web2Py-r2308, Eden-r1246 & Eclipse 3.6
Usage Guidelines
- The ubuntu user and the admin account of web2py have the password set to: eden
- The web2py directory on the desktop contains the web2py release and a bzr branch of Eden Trunk located in
~/Desktop/web2py/applications/eden
- Eclipse is preconfigured with the above directory.
- The normal way to launch Web2Py in this environment is to launch Eclipse & start up the Debugger
- Firefox is pre-populated with Eden bookmarks.
Note: If you get a ticket when running the application for the 1st time with a message like "OperationalError: Cannot add a UNIQUE column" then you need to stop the debugger, delete the contents of the databases folder & then start debugging again (there was an old database accidentally left on the system which cannot be auto-migrated - a new image without this issue has been uploaded):
rm -rf ~/Desktop/web2py/applications/eden/databases/*
If you get an error like "AttributeError: SQLCustomType instance has no attribute 'startswith'" then:
cd ~/Desktop/web2py/gluon rm sql.py wget http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/sql.py
Then can proceed as above: Stop Eclipse, empty databases folder & restart Eclipse
A new image without this issue has now been uploaded.
