I'm trying to set up an askbot project. I have followed the instructions mentioned here three times already (with git clone).

The problem is: I cannot post any question to the running site. I get no response when clicking on the ask question button.

Things I did differently from the tutorial were:

  1. Set up the mysql user to be root instead of the one created in the tutorial because I got an inexistent user error.
  2. Run a manage.py makemigrations and then manage.py migrate, as the prompt suggested them.
  3. Set up my Base URL to be http://127.0.0.1:8000/.

Hope you guys can help out, I don't understand what's going on.

  • Have you tried reading the JS console in your browser? What about the django logs? Try to narrow down to the origin of your problem and then give us the snippet of the part that you think is not working to your needs. Follow this: http://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve – Quirk Jun 18 '16 at 20:28
  • The django console logs nothing when I click on the Ask your Question button, same as the browser console: blank. If I had an error to share I would have already posted it, but no luck. – Lucía Inés Patetta Jun 19 '16 at 14:59

OK - found the issue. For some reason I wasn't able to catch, there was a log in the django console saying the following:

Exception happened during processing of request from ('127.0.0.1', 53242) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/SocketServer.py", line 599, in process_request_thread self.finish_request(request, client_address) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/SocketServer.py", line 334, in finish_request self.RequestHandlerClass(request, client_address, self) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/Django-1.8.13-py2.7.egg/django/core/servers/basehttp.py", line 102, in init super(WSGIRequestHandler, self).init(*args, **kwargs) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/SocketServer.py", line 655, in init self.handle() File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/Django-1.8.13-py2.7.egg/django/core/servers/basehttp.py", line 167, in handle self.raw_requestline = self.rfile.readline(65537) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 480, in readline data = self._sock.recv(self._rbufsize) timeout: timed out

Did a sudo pip install urllib3 (unaware why this solves the issue) and was able to post questions.

  • Well if this solved the problem, you should choose it as the accepted answer and close the question. – Quirk Jun 20 '16 at 09:27
