A complaint about a missing conf file when creating superuser

Asked by Antti Laiti

I tried to install Lava Server and other components using this guide: http://lava.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html

Here’s what I’ve ran:

$ bzr branch lp:lava-server
$ cd lava-server
$ sudo ./setup.py develop
$ cd ..

And I ran the same thing with:
lava-dashboard
lava-test
lava-tool
lava-dispatcher
lava-scheduler

Now after that I tried to create superuser:

$ sudo lava-server manage createsuperuser
Traceback (most recent call last):

    with open(pathname, "rt") as stream:
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/lava-server/default_database.conf'

I found no documentation on that config file. Am i doing something wrong here?

In general you are doing this wrong. Don't try to deploy from source directly. We have some tools that help to setup a lava "instance" as we call it. Look at lp:lava-deployment-tool. There is a readme file that you can look at. I would also discourage you from building the "pybundle" yourself, instead download it from launchpad.net/lava-project (there are downloads on the side)

As for the actual error you're seeing. This is the legacy from our debian packaging. In that mode the configuration is expected to exist in /etc/lava-* and it used to be created by the particular package maintainer scripts.

Can you help with this problem?
