Open edx edxapp and edxapp_worker not running

Question

CMS and LMS have Server Error. I tried to restart edxapp_worker and got errors:

sudo /edx/bin/supervisorctl restart edxapp_worker:
edxapp_worker:lms_high_mem_2: started
edxapp_worker:lms_default_3: started
edxapp_worker:cms_default_4: started
edxapp_worker:lms_high_4: started
edxapp_worker:cms_low_3: ERROR (abnormal termination)
edxapp_worker:cms_high_1: ERROR (abnormal termination)
edxapp_worker:lms_low_1: started

Error log:

ImportError: Could not import settings 'cms.envs.aws' (Is it on sys.path?): No module named validation

How to fix this problem?

you should take a look at the supervisor error logs in /edx/var/log/supervisor directory. cms_low_3tderr.log , cms_high_tderr.log — frank, Oct 20 '15 at 08:18
ImportError: Could not import settings 'cms.envs.aws' (Is it on sys.path?): No module named validation. This is in both files. — Dmitry Utrobin, Oct 20 '15 at 08:30

Looks like your installed version of Xblock Does not have validation.py file. Reinstall it, it will fix this issue.

  /edx/bin/pip.edxapp install -e git+https://github.com/edx/XBlock.git@named-release/birch#egg=xblock

Thank you very much! I used this for installing Xblock --> https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/wiki/Installing-a-new-XBlock. Maybe I did something wrong – Dmitry Utrobin Oct 20 '15 at 10:08
Frank, this error started after instaling Xblock. How to install Xblock correctly? – Dmitry Utrobin Oct 21 '15 at 10:22
you still have this `ImportError: Could not import settings 'cms.envs.aws' (Is it on sys.path?): No module named validation` ? – frank Oct 21 '15 at 10:26
I rolled back my server. Now CMS and LMS are working, I dont have ImportError. I am afraig that when I install Xblocks I will have error again – Dmitry Utrobin Oct 21 '15 at 10:57
@DmitriiUtrobin, so now you have a working open-edx instance ? and you want to know how to install a custom xblock ? – frank Oct 21 '15 at 11:57
take a look at this gist. i've been following this step. https://gist.github.com/leninlal/d00358ad3d1db6b1888c – frank Oct 22 '15 at 03:56
When I was installing, I got this error: ValueError: ('Expected version spec in', 'git+git@github.com:polimediaupv/pdfXBlock.git', 'at', '+git@github.com:polimediaupv/pdfXBlock.git') – Dmitry Utrobin Oct 22 '15 at 07:21
