Installing Plone in a virtual machine

[Lars Löwenadler]

Hello,

 

Today I have installed Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 on my Windows XP SP3 system. In the Virtual PC I’ve successfully installed a copy of Windows XP SP2. Now I’m trying to install Plone in this virtual machine. However, I get some errors during the installation (when running buildout), and although it finishes it’s impossible to start the Plone Controller and I notice that the Plone Windows Service (Zope instance) isn’t present in the list of available Windows services.

 

The errors are the following:

 

1. Executing the command ‘bootstrap.py’ failed

SystemExit: 1

 

2. Executing the command ‘buildout-script.py’ failed

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘C:\\Program Files\\Plone\\bin\\buildout-script.py’

 

3. Executing the command ‘cluster-control-script.py’ failed

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘C:\\Program Files\\Plone\\bin\\cluster-control-script.py’

 

4. Executing the command ‘plonectl-script.py’ failed

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘C:\\Program Files\\Plone\\bin\\plonectl-script.py’

 

I clicked OK on all 4 errors which was the only option.

 

Are these things occurring as a result of Plone being installed in a virtual machine?

 

Thank you for any advice.

 

Regards,

Lars

Looks like a problem I had once - see issue "Executing the command 'bootstrap.py' failed"

In a nutshell: the internet connection was the problem.

Thank you for the advice. I found the thread you refer to.

I do have connection problems in the virtual machine, so solving that may be the solution then. I'll try fixing that and then reinstall Plone.

Hello again - just wanted to notify you all, enabling Internet connection did indeed solve the problem! I have now successfully installed Plone 3.2.2 in my virtual PC.

Hi Lars,

I've successfully installed Plone in many virtual machine instances, though not on Windows guests. My setup has been Linux virtual machines on Virtualbox running on Windows XP SP3.

Are you using python 2.4? Have you tried downloading Plone again (in case of a broken download)?

Are you committed to running on Windows? I think you'll find more people working on *nix, than Windows, and thus more support for *nix-based installs.

Maybe try using a different virtual machine (VMWare, Virtualbox), in case M$ Virtual PC is the culprit.

Hello,



Today I have installed Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 on my Windows XP SP3
system. In the Virtual PC I?ve successfully installed a copy of Windows XP
SP2. Now I?m trying to install Plone in this virtual machine. However, I get
some errors during the installation (when running buildout), and although it
finishes it?s impossible to start the Plone Controller and I notice that the
Plone Windows Service (Zope instance) isn?t present in the list of available
Windows services.



The errors are the following:



1. Executing the command ?bootstrap.py? failed

SystemExit: 1



2. Executing the command ?buildout-script.py? failed

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ?C:\\Program
Files\\Plone\\bin\\buildout-script.py?



3. Executing the command ?cluster-control-script.py? failed

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ?C:\\Program
Files\\Plone\\bin\\cluster-control-script.py?



4. Executing the command ?plonectl-script.py? failed

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ?C:\\Program
Files\\Plone\\bin\\plonectl-script.py?



I clicked OK on all 4 errors which was the only option.



Are these things occurring as a result of Plone being installed in a virtual
machine?



Thank you for any advice.



Regards,

Lars
