gomobile theming

[perlion]

I am not quite sure what I am doing wrong. I had previously set up a
test plone site as root with webandmobile and a
gomobiletheme.mycompany. I am now working on setting up the
production site and am trying to replicate my past actions.

The problem: After I install webandmobile,
start plone 4.1,
create a plone site
then run cd /usr/local/Plone/zeocluster/src
../bin/paster create -t gomobile_theme gomobiletheme.mycompanyname
and create the theme
then go back into buildout.cfg and put gomobiletheme.mycompanyname
under the eggs and zcml sections

and define
develop =
# src/my.package
src/gomobiletheme.mycompanyname

then run sudo -u plone bin/buildout
I get a permission error

***@sys:/usr/local/Plone/zeocluster$ sudo -u plone bin/buildout
Develop: '/usr/local/Plone/zeocluster/src/gomobiletheme.mycompanyname'
error: gomobiletheme.mycompanyname.egg-info/requires.txt: Permission
denied
While:
Installing.
Processing develop directory '/usr/local/Plone/zeocluster/src/
gomobiletheme.mycompanyname'.

An internal error occured due to a bug in either zc.buildout or in a
recipe being used:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/Plone/buildout-cache/eggs/zc.buildout-1.4.4-
py2.6.egg/zc/buildout/buildout.py", line 1683, in main

py2.6.egg/zc/buildout/easy_install.py", line 895, in develop
*args) == 0
AssertionError

Now at this point if I stop and restart plone I can browse the
plonesite but mycompany theme doesn't show up in the add-ons section.

Thinking that this is permission related I tried
sudo -u root bin/buildout

Restarting the zeoserver after this leaves zope/plone un-connectable

running client1 in fg mode gives

My confusion is as to why I can't seem to install gomobiletheme is
installed. If I am screwing up the permissions that is obvious please
enlighten me. I have installed plone/webandmobile as root and as user
with same results.

Never run as your Plone site as root, but I think it's too late to
tell you this in this point :) If someone is spreading such
information that root is the way to do it please direct me to this
person and I will personally take down the mis-information.

This eror is from a shitty tool called buildout who some clever guy in
the past thought could be any useful for Plone community. (no hard
feelings)

The error means that buildout cannot read setup.py file of some of
your (development eggs).

Of course, the buildout does't tell you this, but no one really cares
about fixing buildout or its shitty errors, so I apologize you need to
bear this crap.

1) Check that all setup.py files are in src/ folder correctly with
sane permissions

2) Check that buildout.cfg develop= points to eggs in src/ folder
correctly (not mistyped names)

And for clarity, 'never run your Plone Site as root' also means never
run bin/buildout as root. This will create files and directories that
only root can write to. For example, the error message you gave has
these lines:

***@sys:/usr/local/Plone/zeocluster$ sudo -u plone bin/buildout
Develop: '/usr/local/Plone/zeocluster/src/gomobiletheme.mycompanyname'
error: gomobiletheme.mycompanyname.egg-info/requires.txt: Permission
denied

I think you will find that the egg-info directory or its parent is owned by root and only writable by root.

Easiest should be to do a 'chown -R plone /usr/local/Plone/zeocluster' (or maybe the parent Plone directory too). Then try bin/buildout again as plone user.

If installed as a root install Ubuntu writes Plone into 'group' root
and 'owner' plone except for cfg files.
How do I install as to give control to user plone?
Thanks Maurits and Mikko.
I completely rebuilt Plone using Plone-4.1-
UnifiedInstaller-20110907.tgz and installing to Ubuntu 11.04 as user
"who" using the command "sudo ./install.sh zeo" for a production
environment root install.
After install I edited the buildout.cfg using gksudo nautilus to open
and edit buildout.cfg as it is root owned/group. Ran buildout as "sudo
-u plone bin/buildout"
I was able to start Plone and create a plone site with downloaded add-
ons.
Stopped zope/plone and cd /usr/local/Plone/zeocluster/src
Ran ../bin/paster create -t gomobile_theme gomobiletheme.advair
Got these errors in terminal.

This is my sticking point. For a production root install how does
plone user over-ride root owned files?
I have had gomobile and theming working but I can't remember if I had
a rootless install before. Maybe that is why I am experiencing
problems with this.
This may be out of the scope of gomobile.dev so please disregard if
necessary.

I think it is out of scope yes, as you probably get the same error when
you use bin/paster to create a different package type. For a better
mailing list I doubt between plone-setup and the product-developers list.

If I have followed you correctly though, you ran bin/buildout as root
and could then start the instance fine as user plone.

Then you tried to create a new package and did this as user 'who'.
Looks like 'who' does not have permission to create a directory
gomobiletheme.advair. So try that either as user plone or as user root.

For the record, I always just use one normal (non-root) user to run the
buildout (placed somewhere in my home directory) or start the instance
or create a new package. I never do that as root or other user.

Thanks again for your help ! Solved. did nothing as root except edit
buildout and run ..bin/paster....theme create script. It did throw
out a permission error again so I had to
sudo chown -R plone /usr/local/Plone/zeocluster/src/
gomobiletheme.advair/gomobiletheme.advair.egg-info then everything
worked fine.

I will perhaps dedicate some time with linux permissions. ; )
