edit with code line 13 :

         for key, value in configs:
            self.config[key] = value

show the relevant code from `/home/mm/osqa/osqa-server/forum/markdownext/mdx_settingsparser.py in __init__, line 13` — karthikr, Sep 26 '14 at 16:11
when i remove the portion on code on line 13 it working well ! here is the code : for key, value in configs: self.config[key] = value — Mirlo, Sep 26 '14 at 16:18
Just the stacktrace and saying "not working" is not helpful. You will have to show the code if you want to be helped — karthikr, Sep 26 '14 at 16:19
This means that either configs is `None`. Do you mean to say `self.configs` instead of `configs` ? — karthikr, Sep 26 '14 at 16:47
So, that is being evaluated as `None` - You might want to initialize it to `{}` instead of None if no config attributes are present. — karthikr, Sep 26 '14 at 16:58

It's hard to tell with no stack trace of the error, but I think I've had a similar problem with OSQA recently. The problem was a breaking change in v2.5 of the Markdown plugin. If you revert your installation to use v2.4.1 it might resolve this error.

@Mirlo, if you don't downgrade the version of Markdown to 2.4.1, you will get the error in the future. Please see my question. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25859451/how-can-i-deploy-osqa-to-heroku – Thinh Phan Nov 06 '14 at 09:26
