Multiple Instances not working

You have following instructions from the book, that describe a setup for 2.4 or older schooltool. Since version 2.6, there are now more files and more ports to be changed.

Copy the existing files and not from the book.

First, the init.d script:

$ sudo cp /etc/init.d/schooltool /etc/init.d/schooltool-roanoke

Edit it, you only need to change three lines

NAME=schooltool-roanoke
DESC="Roanoke SchoolTool"
INSTANCE=roanoke

And replace all occurences of /var/run/schooltool with /var/run/schooltool-roanoke

Copy the instance directory

$ sudo cp -r /etc/schooltool/standard /etc/schooltool/roanoke
$ cd /etc/schooltool/roanoke

Edit the files, and do find & replace of the following strings:

/etc/schooltool/standard => /etc/schooltool/roanoke
/var/run/schooltool => /var/run/schooltool-roanoke
/var/log/schooltool => /var/log/schooltool-roanoke
/var/lib/schooltool => /var/lib/schooltool-roanoke
7079 => 7078

Here are all the lines I had to change:

paste.ini
---------

port = 7082

redis.conf
----------

port = 7078
logfile /var/log/schooltool-roanoke/redis.log
dir /var/lib/schooltool-roanoke

schooltool.conf
---------------

site-definition /etc/schooltool/roanoke/site.zcml
result-server-definition /etc/schooltool/roanoke/result-server.zcml
report-server-definition /etc/schooltool/roanoke/report-server.zcml
  <zeoclient>
    server /var/run/schooltool-roanoke/zeo.sock
    blob-dir /var/lib/schooltool-roanoke/blobs
    shared-blob-dir yes
  </zeoclient>
error-log-file /var/log/schooltool-roanoke/error.log
web-access-log-file /var/log/schooltool-roanoke/web-access.log

zeo.conf
--------

<zeo>
  address /var/run/schooltool-roanoke/zeo.sock
</zeo>
<eventlog>
  <logfile>
    path /var/log/schooltool-roanoke/zeo.log
  </logfile>
</eventlog>
<filestorage>
  path /var/lib/schooltool-roanoke/Data.fs
  blob-dir /var/lib/schooltool-roanoke/blobs
</filestorage>

supervisord.conf
----------------

[unix_http_server]
file=/var/run/schooltool-roanoke/supervisord.sock

[supervisord]
logfile=/var/log/schooltool-roanoke/supervisord.log
pidfile=/var/run/schooltool-roanoke/supervisord.pid

[supervisorctl]
serverurl=unix:///var/run/schooltool-roanoke/supervisord.sock

[program:schooltool]
priority=999
directory=/var/lib/schooltool-roanoke
command=/usr/bin/start-schooltool-instance /etc/schooltool/roanoke
environment=CELERY_CONFIG_MODULE='schooltool.task.config.zope',REDIS_HOST='127.0.0.1',REDIS_PORT='7078'
stdout_logfile=/var/log/schooltool-roanoke/paste.log

[program:zeo]
command=/usr/bin/runzeo -C /etc/schooltool/roanoke/zeo.conf

[program:redis]
priority=100
directory=/var/lib/schooltool-roanoke
command=redis-server /etc/schooltool/roanoke/redis.conf

[program:celery_report]
directory=/var/lib/schooltool-roanoke
environment=SCHOOLTOOL_CONF='/etc/schooltool/roanoke/schooltool.conf',REDIS_HOST='127.0.0.1',REDIS_PORT='7078'
stdout_logfile=/var/log/schooltool-roanoke/celery_report.log

Create log and data directories and change their ownership

$ sudo mkdir /var/log/schooltool-roanoke /var/lib/schooltool-roanoke
$ sudo chown schooltool:schooltool /var/log/schooltool-roanoke /var/lib/schooltool-roanoke

Now, start the new server!

$ sudo /etc/init.d/schooltool-roanoke start

See if everything is RUNNING

$ sudo /etc/init.d/schooltool-roanoke status
schooltool RUNNING pid 11419, uptime 0:02:12
services:celery_report RUNNING pid 11276, uptime 0:02:14
services:redis RUNNING pid 11274, uptime 0:02:14
services:zeo RUNNING pid 11275, uptime 0:02:14

Open it in web browser:

http://localhost:7082/

To automatically start on startup

$ sudo update-rc.d schooltool-roanoke defaults

schooltool@schooltool:/$ sudo service schooltool-roanoke start
 * Starting SchoolTool Roanoke... [ OK ]
schooltool@schooltool:/$ sudo service schooltool-roanoke status
[sudo] password for schooltool:
unix:///var/run/schooltool-roanoke/supervisord.sock no such file
schooltool@schooltool:/$

Followed instructions but, it looks like I still need to make a copy of the /var/run/schooltool/ file. The question is should those files be automaticly generating, or can I make a simple copy of the file and .sock files renamed to schooltool-roanoke?

Stopped and started service got this message as well.

schooltool@schooltool:/$ sudo service schooltool-roanoke stop
 * Stopping SchoolTool Roanoke... [ OK ]
schooltool@schooltool:/$ sudo service schooltool-roanoke start
 * Starting SchoolTool Roanoke... Error: The directory named as part of the path /var/run/schooltool-roanoke/supervisord.pid does not exist.
For help, use /usr/bin/supervisord -h

Also stopping the service still causes the localhost:7080 to stop loading

Looks to me that the /etc/init.d/schooltool-roanoke file has references to /var/run/schooltool that should point to /var/run/schooltool-roanoke instead. The init.d script creates the directory if it does not exist.

Hi,

I have a same problem here.
