Dajaxice not found on production server - ajax

I have a Django 1.4 project, running on Python 2.7 in which I'm using Dajaxice 0.5.4.1. I have set it up on my development machine (Windows 7) and everything works perfectly. However when I deploy my app to production server (Ubuntu 12.04) I get 404 error for dajaxice.core.js file and cannot resolve this problem no matter what. Production server works with exactly the same versions of all software.
My project structure looks like this:
/myproject
/myproject/myproject-static/ <-- all the static files are here
/myproject/myproject-static/css/
/myproject/myproject-static/img/
/myproject/myproject-static/js/
/myproject/templates/
/myproject/myproject/
/myproject/main/
/myproject/app1/
/myproject/app2/
/myproject/app3/
etc.
I was following the Dajaxice installation steps here and put everything in its place (in settings.py, ˙urls.pyandbase.html` files).
My settings.py file has also these values:
from unipath import Path
PROJECT_ROOT = Path(__file__).ancestor(3)
STATIC_ROOT = ''
STATIC_URL = '/myproject-static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
PROJECT_ROOT.child('myproject-static'),
)
STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
'dajaxice.finders.DajaxiceFinder',
)
DAJAXICE_MEDIA_PREFIX = "dajaxice"
DAJAXICE_DEBUG = True
I have an Alias directive in my django.conf file which looks like this:
Alias /myproject-static/ "/path/to/myproject/myproject-static/"
I did collectstatic on my production server and got all static files collected within few folders in the root of my project. So, now when I look at my deployed web site, I can see that CSS is properly applied, JavaScript is working fine and navigation around the site works as intended. Everything is fine except Ajax is totally broken since dajaxice.core.js is never included.
My project folder structure after collecting static looks like this:
/myproject
/myproject/myproject-static/ <-- all the static files are originally here
/myproject/myproject-static/css/
/myproject/myproject-static/img/
/myproject/myproject-static/js/
/myproject/templates/
/myproject/admin/ <-- folder created with 'collectstatic' command
/myproject/css/ <-- folder created with 'collectstatic' command
/myproject/dajaxice/ <-- dajaxice.core.js is located here
/myproject/django_extensions/ <-- folder created with 'collectstatic' command
/myproject/img/ <-- folder created with 'collectstatic' command
/myproject/js/ <-- folder created with 'collectstatic' command
/myproject/myproject/
/myproject/main/
/myproject/app1/
/myproject/app2/
/myproject/app3/
etc.
Am I doing something completely wrong with my static files here?
What else should I try to fix this simple error?

Have you check if as the rest of the assets, dajaxice.core.js is inside your static/dajaxice folder? If not, the issue could be related with a miss configuration of the STATICFILES_FINDERS, check Installing dajaxice again
Another usual issue with collectstatic and dajaxice is to run the first using --link Are you using this option?
Hope this helps

I spend several hours grappling with this problem. It was crazy because everything worked great on my dev environment, but not on the test server even though all the dajax and dajaxice settings were on a common base settings file. I never got it to work using the standard route. But this is a very easy fix:
1) Download dajaxice.core.js into whatever static directory pleases you. You can find the js in your the dajaxice directory in your project root:
project/dajaxice/dajaxice.core.js
In my case, I put the file in static/js alongside all my other js libraries.
2) On your web page, replace this:
{% dajaxice_js_import %}
with a normal, everyday link to the js library. In my case:
<script src="/static/js/dajaxice.core.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Unfortunately, this patch only works for developed code. If you usedo it in the development environment, new dajaxice code will be registered in the original project/dajaxice/ location and so the file will have to be copied to static after any new code is developed.

Writing .cargo/config.toml to allow rust code to be imported by python

I'm using rust-cpython to make a python module in rust. I've run my code on a linux os and it runs just fine but I get the familiar "linking with cc failed:exit code 1 error". I've gathered from this that I need to add the .cargo/config file to my project as suggested at the bottom of this:
https://github.com/dgrunwald/rust-cpython
I've copied and pasted their code into a file, config.toml, and place there in a directory, .cargo. I've tried nesting this in my src directory and my project directory with no success, what am I missing?
Solution found: Thought I'd post it as this gave me grief.
Everything with this setup is fine except the config file can't have the extension .toml despite being written in a toml format

Go: embed JS files with bindata

This question is a follow up to an earlier question of mine. I've closed the question so I hope its okay that I ask a fresh but related question here. Go: embed static files in binary
How do I serve JS files with go-bindata? Do I pass it into html like this
hi.html
<script>{{.Bindata}}></script>
Doesn't seem to work even though I have no compile or JS errors.
Using https://github.com/elazarl/go-bindata-assetfs
Assuming you have the following structure:
myprojectdirectory
├───api
├───cmd
├───datastores
└───ui
├───css
└───js
Where ui is the directory structure you'd like to wrap up and pack into your app...
Generate a source file
The go-bindata-assetfs tool is pretty simple. It will look at the directories you pass to it and generate a source file with variables that can contain the binary data in those files. So make sure your static files are there, and then run the following command from myprojectdirectory:
go-bindata-assetfs ./ui/...
Now, by default, this will create a source file in the package main. Sometimes, this is ok. In my case, it isn't. You can generate a file with a different package name if you'd like:
go-bindata-assetfs.exe -pkg cmd ./ui/...
Put the source file in the correct location
In this case, the generated file bindata_assetfs.go is created in the myprojectdirectory directory (which is incorrect). In my case, I just manually move the file to the cmd directory.
Update your application code
In my app, I already had some code that served files from a directory:
import (
"net/http"
"github.com/gorilla/mux"
)
// Create a router and setup routes
var Router = mux.NewRouter()
Router.PathPrefix("/ui").Handler(http.StripPrefix("/ui", http.FileServer(http.Dir("./ui"))))
// Start listening
http.ListenAndServe("127.0.0.1:3000", Router)
Make sure something like this works properly, first. Then it's trivial to change the FileServer line to:
Router.PathPrefix("/ui").Handler(http.StripPrefix("/ui", http.FileServer(assetFS())))
Compile the app
Now you have a generated source file with your static assets in them. You can now safely remove the 'ui' subdirectory structure. Compile with
go install ./...
And you should have a binary that serves your static assets properly.
Use https://github.com/elazarl/go-bindata-assetfs
From the readme:
go-bindata-assetfs data/...
In your code setup a route with a file server
http.Handle("/", http.FileServer(assetFS()))

Update CodeIgniter from version 1.7.2 to 2.0.0 - class CI_Controller not found

I'm trying to update my project from CI version 1.7.2 to CI v. 2.0.0 (then I will update to next versions - but first I need to deal with that).
So:
Path to my CI is:
/home/user/www/mysite. That’s all right, it’s written here: http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/installation/upgrade_200.html That I should replace my system folder (except application folder) with this from v2.0.
I copied these directories from 2.0.0’s system folder (that’s core, database, fonts, helpers, language, libraries) and replaced older ones. I’ve done all other things - and after trying to launch my new version of CI - it shows
Fatal error: Class ‘CI_Controller’ not found in/home/user/sitesystem/application/controllers/test.php on line 3.
MY /system/core folder contains file Controller.php and it starts with
class CI_Controller
- so everything should work fine - what’s going on?
First, in CI 2, the application folder is in the root dir, not under the system directory. And second, if you watch closely your error say:
/home/user/sitesystem/application/
and you wrote previously, that the path is:
/home/user/www/mysite
so i would check this 2 things first.

How to setup mod_lua in Apache to access third party Lua modules?

I'm attempting to set up mod_lua module for Apache, but have encountered difficulty regarding accessing third party Lua modules. Say I have a hello_world.lua in Apache's htdocs folder that has something like this:
require "apache2"
function handle(r)
r.content_type = "text/html"
r:write "Hello World from <strong>mod_lua</strong>."
return apache2.OK
end
And I go to "http://localhost/hello_world.lua", that will function as expected. But if I try to add a line such as:
require "socket"
Or
require "cgilua"
I get the following output:
Error!
attempt to call a nil value
However, some modules do work, such as:
require "base"
That functions as expected.
If I navigate to base.lua in the filesystem (c:\program files\lua\5.1\lua\base.lua) and remove this file, then attempt to run my script I get the same error as stated above. So this must be the directory that mod_lua is checking for modules. Modules dlls are not in this folder, instead they are in c:\program files\lua\5.1\clibs\, which I set up the environment variable LUA_CPATH to point to.
Luasocket and cgilua are both present in this folder, yet they cause an error when I try to require them in my script.
From what I can gather, it works fine with any pure lua modules, but anything that has cmodules as well (socket, etc) causes problems.
Additional info:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
LUA_PATH = c:\program files\lua\5.1\lua\
LUA_CPATH = c:\program files\lua\5.1\clibs\
Apache version: 2.2.22
mod_lua version: http://www.corsix.org/content/mod-lua-win32#comment-3214
What needs to be done to be able to require modules in scripts run by mod_lua?
It looks like you need to add LuaPackageCPath and/or LuaPackagePath directives to your site configuration (in the global configuration file, or .htaccess, ...).
In your case, I'd assume that
LuaPackagePath c:\program files\lua\5.1\lua\
LuaPackageCPath c:\program files\lua\5.1\clibs\
should do the trick.

How can I change config file path in Codeigniter?

I use Codeigniter framework , and you know when I try to load a config file then use it
I do something like that :
$this->load->config('myconfig', TRUE);
myconfig.php file is located inside application folder ( application/config/myconfig.php)
and use it like this :
$this->config->item('get_item', 'myconfig')
My question is : how can I change the location of myconfig file and use it properly ?
I want to put the config file(s) in out folder like this :
mysite -> system(folder)
mysite -> user_guide(folder)
mysite -> myConfigFiles(folder)
mysite -> myConfigFiles(folder) / myconfig.php
I need to do something like this :
$this->load->config(base_url.'myConfigFiles/myconfig', TRUE);
any help ?
Yes - it is possible to do this. The loader will accept ../../relative/paths. You can use a path relative from the default config directory (an absolute path will not work).
So let's say you have this structure (had a hard time following your description):
mysite
application
config <-- default directory
system
myConfigFiles
myconfig.php
You can just do this:
$this->load->config('../../myConfigFiles/myconfig', TRUE);
This works for pretty much everything - views, libraries, models, etc.
Note that with the introduction of the ENVIRONMENT constant in version 2.0.1, you can automatically check for config files within the config directory in another directory that matches the name of the current environment. This is really intended to be a convenience method for loading different files depending on if you are in production or development. I'm not 100% sure what your goals are, but this additional knowledge may also help you achieve them, or it may be totally irrelevant.
Really not sure WHY you would want to do this (and I wouldn't recommend it), but since all config files are is regular PHP files you can put a config file in the standard location that loads your extra config files. As an example:
mysite -> application -> config -> myconfigloader.php
then in myconfigloader.php put this:
<?php
require_once(APPPATH.'../myConfigFiles/myconfig.php');
So once you do
$this->load->config('myconfigloader', TRUE);
It will load everything in your myconfig.php file. Let me know if that works for you.
