django-windows-tools's Issues

win7+python3.6+pyinstaller can run service, but no listening port

python3.6(32bit)+django1.11.7+pyinstaller3.3+win7(64bit)
it's a helloworld. i can 'python server.py install' and start, listening port is ok, i can visit by 'http://localhost:18800/hello', which will show json response.
when i packed with pyinstaller, use [pyinstaller -n hello -y --add-data "hello\service.ini;." hello\service.py], and then run [dist\hello\hello.exe install] and start, no errors. i checked windows service state, it's running!
but run [netstat -ano | findstr 18800], no result, and fail to visit url.
what am i wrong ? or where the errors or exceptions are ? any suggestions ?

Windows Portuguese

HI,

For windows 2008 R2 Portuguese, need change the file winservice_install.py to

users, domain, type = win32security.LookupAccountName ("", "Usuários")
admins, domain, type = win32security.LookupAccountName ("", "Administradores")

python process spawned and then disappeared in windows service

hello, I am facing a wired problem. in the command console, I am able to run "manage.py celeryd" and see the daemon is ready.
however when I install it as a service, seen from the process list, the pythonservice.exe first created 1 python process and 2 python sub-processes(should be 2 workers), and then the subprocesses and python process disappeared. checking the celery.log, it shows the same message that the daemon was ready as WARNING/MainProcess] celery@HOST ready.

the problem only happens in celeryd, but not celerybeat. celerybeat can be running without any problem.
celery version 3.0.10 and 3.1b1, both tried. broker: django database
django 1.4.2

thanks very much if you have the answers :)

After hosting a project with IIS 8 give bad request 400

Hi Guys,

I am trying to host a django project on my windows server 2012 using your django-windows-tools.
I successfully installed django-windows-tool and its dependencies. I successfully hosted my application in IIS using django-windows-tool. I am unable to access my website on my domain or localhost. IIS gives bad request 400 error.
Django development server is running without any error from the same directory on localhost:8000.
I checked my bindings. Bindings are correct. Because I can say that because I already hosted other webapps on the same server.

my web.config is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <handlers>
	  <clear/>
      <add name="FastCGI" path="*" verb="*" modules="FastCgiModule" scriptProcessor="C:\Program Files (x86)\Python36-32\python.exe|C:\inetpub\security\radrann\manage.py winfcgi --pythonpath=C:\inetpub\security\radrann" resourceType="Unspecified" requireAccess="Script" />
    </handlers>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

My project is hosted from : Initpub folder. I also checked for security settings.

Install instructions

Need to change python winservice_install to python manage.py winservice_install

Service doesn't terminate

Hi,

I like your work, but have an issues, that the service that was started fine, won't be terminated if I stop the service in the service.msc or via service.py stop.

If I run python manage.py process_tasks manually it terminates when pressing <ctrl> + c.
Is there anything else needed to make the command stoppable?

Thanks.
Thomas

500 - Internal server error

Added a new site via django-windows-tools, any idea?

I've also tried setting the user on the service to myself with the same result.

I can run these two commands from two virtualenv activated consoles without any issue and everything works:

celery -A django_forms worker -l info -P eventlet
celery -A django_forms beat -l info --scheduler django_celery_beat.schedulers:DatabaseScheduler

winservice_install keeps throwing error: KeyError: 'service_name'

I was previously able to get python manage.py winservice_install working fine, but I was previously encountering an error with the services not starting up.

I came across this. In hopes of resolving the issue, so figured getting the most recent dev version would maybe fix things by pip install through git.

This ended up breaking it much more. I am not even sure where I should even get the value from. I have tried passing as an argument --service_name, but winservice_install didn't like it. I tried python manage.py help winservice_install, but didn't provide any insight on passing that specific or any type of relevant argument.

With Virtualenv: WindowsError: (2, 'The system cannot find the file specified')

My environment:
Windows 7
Python 2.7
django-windows-tools from git (updated today)

The service wasn't starting, so I tried running as:

$ python service.py debug

And the following error was issued:
WindowsError: (2, 'The system cannot find the file specified')

Debugging a little further, I found that the python interpreter was being wrongly found as %VIRTUALENV_PATH%\python.exe, without the \Scripts\ in the path. For example, if the Virtualenv was in C:\MyVirtualenv\, it assumed the interpreter was in C:\MyVirtualenv\python.exe and not C:\MyVirtualenv\Scripts\python.exe. Therefore it could not run the service.

Searching the web, I found that it is a known problem, but currently not fixed. If assumes python path is sys.exec_prefix, when that is not always the case:

https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/e55f955659bc/Lib/multiprocessing/forking.py

Virtualenv people have claimed no responsibility about it:

pypa/virtualenv#467

One ugly, but working fix would be running this in the beginning of your service.py:

sys.exec_prefix = sys.exec_prefix + "\\Scripts\\"

Python 3 support

Is there any chance that this will be updated to support python 3?

Suggestion: Use wfastcgi for serving instead

I am sorry to say that I have not been able to use django-windows-tools for deploying.
I have however found a simple way of deploying in IIS with wfastcgi and will share my experiences in the hope that it may improve this project.

Basically I added a FastCGI application from my virtual environment with full path being [venv_root]\Scripts\python.exe and arguments being [venv_root]\Lib\site-packages\wfastcgi.py.
This is automated by wfastcgi by the installed command wfastcgi-enable (there is also a wfastcgi-disable for removing it again).

Then I add my site root as a new site using the following template to create the web.config (Note that [site_root], [venv_root] and [project_module] must be replaced):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <handlers>
      <clear/>
      <add name="FastCGI" path="*" verb="*" modules="FastCgiModule" scriptProcessor="[venv_root]\Scripts\python.exe|[venv_root]\Lib\site-packages\wfastcgi.py" resourceType="Unspecified" requireAccess="Script" />
    </handlers>
  </system.webServer>

  <appSettings>
    <!-- Required settings -->
    <add key="PYTHONPATH" value="[site_root]" />
    <add key="WSGI_HANDLER" value="django.core.wsgi.get_wsgi_application()" />
    <add key="DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE" value="[project_module].settings" />
    <add key="DEBUG" value="False" />

    <!-- Optional settings -->
    <!--<add key="WSGI_LOG" value="[log_path]" />-->
  </appSettings>

  <!-- Serve the collected static files -->
  <location path="static">
    <system.webServer>
      <handlers>
        <clear/>
        <add name="StaticFiles" path="*" verb="*" modules="StaticFileModule" resourceType="File" requireAccess="Read"/>
      </handlers>
    </system.webServer>
  </location>

</configuration>

This setup requires that STATIC_URL = '/static/' and STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static') to avoid creating a virtual directory in IIS, but I guess that can be automated.

You may also want to give full access to the site root to the app pool user.

Other than that, my only caveat is that I don't use MEDIA in my project, but I guess that is just a matter of repeating the procedure for static.

Exception when trying to start the website in IIS

I'm using Django 1.9.13

Error occurred while reading WSGI handler:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\python27\Lib\site-packages\wfastcgi.py", line 791, in main
    env, handler = read_wsgi_handler(response.physical_path)

  File ".\ptvs_virtualenv_proxy.py", line 76, in get_wsgi_handler
    handler = getattr(handler, name)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 

I've been looking for the cause, but couldn't find it yet

I am using a project structure where the settings and root urls.py still reside in a subfolder (Django 1.6 application that I just upgraded to Django 1.9). I have moved the wsgi.py from this subfolder up one level, thinking that might help ...

Django Project is not starting

Hi Martin,

When I create a new project and follow the steps that you have described your document to start the Django project as the windows process is working fine. But the same when I apply to my project that has MongoDB connectivity in the settings file it fails to start giving the following error log.

When ran with net start service name

CommandError: It seems that The CGI module is not installed

I have enabled CGI support following these instructions: http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/cgi

Running on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bits.

When running winfcgi_install command I get the error:
CommandError: It seems that The CGI module is not installed

Not sure how to fix this, as the CGI module is actually installed, I can see it in the IIS Manager.

Not able to run celery

Here is my service.ini.
https://dpaste.de/idm5

The service shows running. But nothing happens. Also, is it not celerybeat deprecated and should be replaced with celery beat command.

I am confused about where to get celerybeat.pid file in log folder as well. All tutorial gives same example which is not working. I am using windows 7 64 bit and celery 3.1.17

Thanks

service created by service.py never starts

• Django 1.7
• Python 2.7
• django-windows-tools 0.1.3
• Windows 2008

I have followed the guide for setting up celery services here.

I have adjusted parameters to work for my settings and still fails to start up properly when I check the task manager.

It shows I have a django-myapp-service created.

Here is my services.ini file:

[services]
# Services to be run on all machines

Taking apart these commands and parameters I manually input them

python manage.py celery worker --app=myapp.celery -f C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Django\BPTS\myapp\logs\celery.log -l info

python manage.py celery beat --app=trackingsystem.celery -f C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Django\BPTS\trackingsystem\logs\beat.log -l info --pidfile=C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Django\BPTS\trackingsystem\logs\celerybeat.pid

and they work properly.

CommandError: The FastCGI application creation has failed

Hi,

I am trying to deploy my django application on windows but I am currently running into an issue when I run this command in an admin-privilaged windows powershell:

C:\Python27\python.exe "C:\manage.py" winfcgi_install --binding="http://localhost:8080"

ERROR ( message:New application object missing required attributes. Cannot add duplicate collection entry of type 'application' with combined key attributes 'fullPath, arguments' respectively set to 'C:\Python27\python.exe, C:\manage.py winfcgi --pythonpath=C:'. )

Can anyone provide help with what might be causing this issue?

Internal Server Error - The FastCGI process exited unexpectedly

I have been getting an error with FastCGI when I try to use the django-windows-tool to configure my Django Project to run on IIS. When I run python manage.py winfcgi_install while in my virtual environment, a new web.config file, a new app pool, a new FastCGI application, and a new web site all appear as intended. I bind the website to a new port, then change the app pool Identity from "ApplicationPoolIdentity" to "LocalSystem". However, after navigating to the website I get an error.

HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error
C:\Users\Clay.MDMI\PyRO\myvenv\Scripts\python.exe - The FastCGI process exited unexpectedly

Most likely causes:
IIS received the request; however, an internal error occurred during the processing of the request. The root cause of this error depends on which module handles the request and what was happening in the worker process when this error occurred.
IIS was not able to access the web.config file for the Web site or application. This can occur if the NTFS permissions are set incorrectly.
IIS was not able to process configuration for the Web site or application.
The authenticated user does not have permission to use this DLL.
The request is mapped to a managed handler but the .NET Extensibility Feature is not installed.

Things you can try:
Ensure that the NTFS permissions for the web.config file are correct and allow access to the Web server's machine account.
Check the event logs to see if any additional information was logged.
Verify the permissions for the DLL.
Install the .NET Extensibility feature if the request is mapped to a managed handler.
Create a tracing rule to track failed requests for this HTTP status code. For more information about creating a tracing rule for failed requests, click here.

Obviously, this error message isn't super helpful. After a suggestion on another issue here, I tried adding lines to my web.config file shown below to have it print more information, but it doesn't change the result.

I saw some people talking about needing to grant the app pool permission to the project directory, so I followed the instructions HERE (performed on the root folder, changed permissions for all folders inside as well) but nothing changed.

Any ideas on next steps? Could this be an issue with my virtual environment?
I very much appreciate any help, as well as the fact that this tool just exists in the first place!

winfcgi_install not working with non-English Windows

This is almost a duplicate of issue #1.
The fix in winservice_install (lookup groups by SID instead of name) has not been merged into wincfgi_install, where the code for set_file_readable() is duplicated. This makes it unusable on a non-English Windows (German, in my case). Applying the fix resolves the issue.

The project is not properly dependant on pypiwin32

When installing django-windows-tools it should automatically install pypiwin32 as a dependency. This does not happen currently.

500 Error "The FastCGI process exited unexpectedly"

Just started using django-windows-tools. My project works fine with Django development server (python manage.py runserver). After running 'python manage.py collectstatic', I create the fgci app with 'python manage.py winfcgi_install --binding=http://localhost:80' (as Administrator). When I try to access any page (e.g. http://localhost/) via browser, I get a Server Error, 500.0, "The FastCGI process exited unexpectedly". Info from the error page:
Detailed Error Information
Module FastCgiModule
Notification ExecuteRequestHandler
Handler FastCGI
Error Code 0x00000001
Requested URL http://localhost:80/
Physical Path c:\myprojectdir
Logon Method Anonymous
Logon User Anonymous


The error page also mentions:
Most likely causes:
IIS received the request; however, an internal error occurred during the processing of the request. The root cause of this error depends on which module handles the request and what was happening in the worker process when this error occurred.
IIS was not able to access the web.config file for the Web site or application. This can occur if the NTFS permissions are set incorrectly.
IIS was not able to process configuration for the Web site or application.
The authenticated user does not have permission to use this DLL.
The request is mapped to a managed handler but the .NET Extensibility Feature is not installed.

I am running with virtualenv (looks like the script processor for fgci is correctly set to the virtualenv's path/.exe).
