[ome-devel] starting up omero 4 server: StartService FAILED error -- connection refused

[Aleksandra Tarkowska]

Hi Frans

I was trying to reproduce your problem with OMERO.web on Windows and  
this is the story...

Using the Windows command line shell, please go to C:\OMERO\lib 
\omeroweb and try startup by hand

      'python manage.py runserver'


If it gives you an error like:

C:\OMERO>cd lib

C:\OMERO\lib>cd omeroweb

Please follow the changes in C:\OMERO\lib\omeroweb :

1) check your PYTHONPATH:

C:\>echo %PYTHONPATH%
C:\Ice-3.3.0\python

C:\>set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;C:\OMERO\lib\python

C:\>echo %PYTHONPATH%
C:\Ice-3.3.0\python;C:\OMERO\lib\python

2) open the C:\OMERO\lib\omeroweb\settings.py and configure LOGDIR to:

LOGDIR = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'log')

3) if you don't have installed PIL please go to C:\OMERO\lib\omeroweb 
\webclient\view.py and comment:

Line 37	import Image,ImageDraw

Now you should be able to run OMERO.web:

C:\OMERO\lib\omeroweb>python manage.py runserver

Once you have started the server please go to http://localhost:8000/ 
webadmin or http://localhost:8000/webclient

and login as root/ome

If you have any different problems please send me the error from the  
console.

Thanks
Ola
