Graphite

Errors about static assets in log file, webpage is blank

Asked by Vova

Hello!

Please help :)

1) About me and my efforts:
I'm struggling to install Graphite and get it running for almost 2 weeks so far on Ubuntu!
Now im on the step where I'm running the webapp, using the command:
PYTHONPATH=`pwd`/storage/whisper ./bin/run-graphite-devel-server.py --port=8085 --libs=`pwd`/webapp /opt/graphite 1>/opt/graphite/storage/log/webapp/process.log 2>&1 &

2) The problem:
In the logfile I get errors as following:
...
GET /static/js/ext/resources/css/ext-all.css HTTP/1.1" 404 113
[02/Oct/2015 09:38:14] "GET /static/js/ext/adapter/ext/ext-base.js HTTP/1.1" 404 111
[02/Oct/2015 09:38:14] "GET /static/css/dashboard-default.css HTTP/1.1" 404 106
...

In the browser I get a blank screen.

3) My attempts to fix it:
I've configured STATIC_ROOT as proposed in this link:
http://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/latest/config-local-settings.html#filesystem-paths
I've configured Apache as proposed in this^ link as well... specifically:
 - I've created directory /usr/local/apache2/conf/vhosts.d/*.conf
 - copied there the file example-graphite-vhost.conf
 - Included this file into the httpd.conf: Include /usr/local/apache2/conf/vhosts.d/*.conf

Please HAELP!!! :) I want to make it work!
I have no idea what to do next...
Note: I'm new to ubuntu

Did you try installing the whitenoise module? It actually mentions it in the last sentence of that STATIC_ROOT section.

Yeah, I've tried to install whitenoise - the problem persists.
Should I somehow specifically configure whitenoise after installation? Should I revert "STATIC_ROOT" configuration for apache if using whitenoise (seems doesnt help)

HEELP!

First off, yelling doesn't help. It shouldn't be that hard to diagnose but I don't have access to your system. You appear to be running a somewhat unconventional layout so it's going to take some detective work on your part. You can see how we're doing it in Synthesize, but it also uses a "normal" layout.

HTH.

I meet the same problem and look into all related Q&A chains, none can help to fix the blank webpage of Graphite. Finally I resolve it by myself with following change:

Uncomment the line in /opt/graphite/webapp/graphite/local_settings.py

#DEBUG = True ----------> DEBUG = True

Default debug value is false. Just change it.

Hopefully it can work for you.

Can you help with this problem?
