Not able to launch cito_plugin_server due to gunicorn issue

[OscarLopezEns]

Hi Cyrus!

Are you still working on this app or will there be a new version coming soon?

We are currently interested in testing your app. We have succesfully deployed the cito_engine server and are in the process of testing the plugin functionality (which allows to run self healing cripts in response to an incident).

However, after following all steps in documentation () we are facing the following issue when trying to launch the cito_plugin_server app (we are using Ubuntu Trusty 3.13 64 bits for our testing):

• cito-plugin-server.sh script is not launching the app, upon debugging found that "python manage.py run_gunicorn.." command is failing with

Unknown command: 'run_gunicorn'

error everytime.

Tried to troubleshoot this without luck, even after confirming "gunicorn" package is actually there in "_INSTALLEDAPPS" in base.py settings file.

Also confirmed by running python manage.py diffsettings that gunicorn is there in settings. Have not been able to find solution to this, however I am able to launch app succesfully in development mode by running : python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:9000

Are you able to replicate the issue and can you suggest or help why would run_gunicorn be failing?

Additionally, we encountered the following issues but we managed to solve them:

• distribute package 0.6.45 version failing to install even after upgrading setuptools (

error: "NameError: name 'sys_platform' is not defined"

), however modifying requirements.txt file to instead use version 0.7.3 solved the issue.

• Port in documentation for _cito_pluginserver is wrong, says 8000 but it is hardcoded as 9000 in startup script
• Path in upstart script documentation is wrong, it says"cito" instead of "_cito_pluginserver": cp /opt/cito/bin/upstart/cito-plugin-server.conf /etc/init/ Also, I would like to share with you Ansible playbooks I am writing to easily deploy your app:

Once I am able to launch the plugin server I will upload the Ansible playbook.

Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks, Oscar
