Graphite

ubuntu trouble installing carbon

Asked by scott

HI,
    I am trying to install carbon, and get the following error....(ok a warning, but not sure it is good)

graphite@mycomp:~/Graphite/carbon-0.9.6$ python setup.py build
/usr/lib/python2.6/distutils/dist.py:266: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'install_requires'
  warnings.warn(msg)
running build
running build_py
running build_scripts

I then run install and it completes, but it seems as though something is not quite right.

        I do not have the /opt/graphite/carbon/conf/carbon.conf file created, or indeed the directory /opt/graphite/carbon
seems to be missing. Does this mean it is not correctly installed, or have I done something really silly?

                                            appreciate any pointers...

Might want to make sure you're installing as root and using the right pythonpath

Hi, thanks for the reply, here is my python path
export PYTHONPATH=/opt/graphite/webapp:/opt/graphite/lib
This issue is at the build stage, not the install stage, however, I have tried with user root, or user graphite, either way, it just does not work(I have chowned /opt/graphite to user graphite, so it should work as the user graphite.

         Still, good to force me to double check.

                                     regards

Hi,
       I seem to have things working. I think I was thrown by the documentation(which as we all know is out of date and is being worked on). Essentially, I was thinking the path /opt/graphite/carbon/conf should exist and carbon.conf should exist in this path, however the path is actually /opt/graphite/conf/. carbon.conf should be put here. Also, to start carbon, you have to be in this directory, so it finds the carbon.conf file.

                                      thanks for the help, and such a great product.
