Hi Louis,

Can you provide more information? E.g.

What step are you failing on?
What error messages are you seeing?
What have you tried?

Mike

Hi Mike,

Thanks for getting back to me.

1. I tried installing following your details on Centos 7, and after trying multiple times trying to add things that I could figure out from the error messages, but then still fails on the python manage.py runserver

2. I then installed a clean machine with Ubuntu 18.04 bionix. Folloed the steps again, and eventually got it to start, but when going into the web interface, I get errors on the web interface that it cannot find bom/ or admin/.
   I removed the admin from the settings.py file, but then still fails.

3. I then reinstalled the machine again, and tried again, as I though maybe something could have screwed up the installation, and tried from scratch. This time all went well, until after "pip install -r requirements.txt, which finished normally. I then ran python manage.py migrate, and now I get the following error.
   (bom) root@netmon:/opt/django/apps/django/bom/bom# python manage.py migrate

   RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded

This recursion error was also an error I experienced when I got the web interface up previously.

I really need to get this up and running, and this is the exact functionality we need, and clearly I am missing something.

Thanks
Louis

Hey Louis,

Thanks for the added details. Have you checked out the django-bom repository? I may need to add a note to the readme, but this repository is a web app that uses the core BOM tool. The actual BOM tool is implemented here: https://github.com/mpkasp/django-bom, and has a lot more detailed instructions to get up and running.

Also one of our members created a great video of how to get up and running. It may be a bit outdated now, but should have some good pointers: https://indabom.com/install/

Let me know if that helps.

Mike

[louisyssel]

Thanks Mike, I will look into it tonight, and let you know.

[louisyssel]

Hi Mike,

I have now tried exactly what you recommended, and I followed the instructions on the video of the link you supplied.

1. I installed VirtualBox as per the video. (Previously I was running on a dedicated server.)
2. I installed Ubuntu 16.08 (Previously I was running Ubuntu 18.04)
3. I followed his steps exactly to the tee.
4. Everything was the same until where I had to run python manage.py migrate, or as he suggested, skipping it, and installing django-bom, and then again tried "python manage.py migrate' as well as "python manage.py createsuperuser.

This is the error I get here:

I really do not know what to try next. Your help will really be appreciated.

Great! Progress.

1. Make sure you're running Python 3.7.0
   if you're using a virtualenvironment, make sure you do the step in the instructions that specifies using python 3 virtualenv -p python3 mysite

2. Make sure you're running the correct version of django as specified in the requirements.txt file: Django==2.1.5

[louisyssel]

OK, looks better already, but I do not have a GUI on the server to test now, how can I change the runserver to listen on a different address than 127.0.0.1 and port?

[mpkasp]

Great!!

You can specify the ip address and port in the manage.py command I think, maybe something like this?

python ./manage.py runserver <your_ip_address>:<your_port>

If you want to set it up to be accessible beyond your local machine, I'd recommend looking into how to set up a django project on whatever cloud service provider you want to use (e.g. AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud).

[louisyssel]

No worries, I figured our changing the IP and port, I can access Admin perfectly, and perform all of the Admin functions.

When I want to go to bom hhowever, this is what I get.

[mpkasp]

Try heading to the admin and check your organizations, you may have more than one tied to your user, which doesn't work when the get() function is called.

[louisyssel]

Excellent, I am up and running. Thank you so much for your help.

PS. Do you have a manual for the system so I can understand the relationships between Manuf parts, and Part Classes and Part files etc?

Thanks again

[louisyssel]

Oh, last problem:

When I am in the admin site, and I click on the right corner on "VIEW SITE" I get the error below, itseems to not add the /bom/ at the end:

[louisyssel]

Apologies for the million questions??? Where can I change the currency from USD to ZAR?

[mpkasp]

No problem. I don't have a manual - the project started as an internal tool and I figured I'd release it to the world as I figured others would be interested! I haven't had time to document anything yet, and the tool is continuing to evolve.

Yeah I never fixed that "view site" link. If you set up django-bom on the indabom project and use the indabom site admin, it should handle redirect a root / path.

Finally on your last question one of the roadmap features is to support different currencies, however I haven't pulled that in yet. I created an issue on the django-bom page so it's tracked: mpkasp/django-bom#10

[mpkasp]

@louisyssel was going through issues and found this was still open. Just so you know the latest version of django-bom supports changing currency. Closing this issue for now as it seems resolved.
