FAILING: PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/graphite/webapp django-admin syncdb --settings=graphite.settings

[gregorywolf]

Hello - Sorry to be redundant cause I realize that there was a similar issue raised already (Pls help run syncdb error ImportError: No module named graphite.settings #1867). My issue seems to be similar but I still not get past it even though I have SCANDIR installed.

Here is my issue.

COMMAND:
sudo PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/graphite/webapp django-admin syncdb --settings=graphite.settings

Output:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/bin/django-admin", line 10, in <module> sys.exit(execute_from_command_line()) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 338, in execute_from_command_line utility.execute() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 312, in execute django.setup() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/__init__.py", line 18, in setup apps.populate(settings.INSTALLED_APPS) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/apps/registry.py", line 115, in populate app_config.ready() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/apps.py", line 22, in ready self.module.autodiscover() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/__init__.py", line 24, in autodiscover autodiscover_modules('admin', register_to=site) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/utils/module_loading.py", line 74, in autodiscover_modules import_module('%s.%s' % (app_config.name, module_to_search)) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/importlib/__init__.py", line 37, in import_module __import__(name) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tagging/admin.py", line 3, in <module> from tagging.forms import TagAdminForm File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tagging/forms.py", line 11, in <module> class TagAdminForm(forms.ModelForm): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/forms/models.py", line 274, in __new__ "needs updating." % name django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Creating a ModelForm without either the 'fields' attribute or the 'exclude' attribute is prohibited; form TagAdminForm needs updating.

I have also tried the following

sudo PYTHONPATH=/opt/graphite/webapp django-admin.py migrate --settings=graphite.settings --run-syncdb

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi @gregorywolf
Please see #1219
Upgrade your django-tagging module to 0.3.4

[gregorywolf]

Hell @deniszh - Thank you for the response!! I am a little confused about the version. I used

pip show django django-tagging scandir whipser carbon graphite-web

and got the following:

As you can see I am running a more recent version of django-tagiing. Is the issue different or should I downgrade django-tagging?

Thank you so much for the help!!!!!

Strange, could you please verify that the version really is 0.4.6 in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tagging/__init__.py?

[gregorywolf]

Here are the results:
pwd /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tagging

[root@graph-a tagging]# more __init__.py """ Django-tagging """ __version__ = '0.4.6' __license__ = 'BSD License' __author__ = 'Jonathan Buchanan' __author_email__ = '[email protected]' __maintainer__ = 'Fantomas42' __maintainer_email__ = '[email protected]' __url__ = 'https://github.com/Fantomas42/django-tagging' default_app_config = 'tagging.apps.TaggingConfig' [root@graph-a tagging]#

[piotr1212]

ok, another check.

You set your Pythonpath to PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/graphite/webapp. But according to your pip output it is installed in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages.

Could it be possible that you have graphite-web installed twice? If you are running it from usr/share/graphite/webapp please check what that version is.

[gregorywolf]

Hi - It is possible that I have installed graphite-web twice. In an effort to resolve my problems I have tried downloading packages again. Instead of trouble shooting further I am going to work on a new VM instance and try with a clean installation. I will circle back and report the result. Thank you. Be back soon.

[piotr1212]

I would recommend you to install it in virtualenv, that makes a clean virtual environment and doesn't mix up with your systems Python packages.

I am going to close this issue and revisit at a later time
