Unified Installer for plone 4 Not working

[prakharjoshi]

I am trying to create an instance using Plone 4 unified installer and I did the bootstrapping using python bootstrap.py under the virtual environment.

Now when I am trying to run the buildout using bin/buildout it is showing an error. Here is the error

While:
  Installing.
  Getting section instance.
  Initializing section instance.
  Installing recipe plone.recipe.zope2instance.

An internal error occurred due to a bug in either zc.buildout or in a
recipe being used:

I fixed your formatting, add triple backticks to make some text preformatted

[smcmahon]

What version of the installer were you using?

Why did you need to bootstrap? The buildout directories created by the installer should be ready to run "bin/buildout".

[prakharjoshi]

I am using unified installer version 4.3.4

[prakharjoshi]

@gforcada Sorry but I haven't seen any changes yet. Can you tell me where I am doing wrong ?

[cewing]

@prakharjoshi, if you put triple-backticks ( some text ) around a piece of formatted text like a stack trace, it makes it appear properly in a github issue. See the difference between these two:

this is not formatted text but it really should be

this is not
  formatted text
but it really should
  be

[prakharjoshi]

@cewing Oh yeah Thanks :)

[prakharjoshi]

@smcmahon I am trying to create an instance using unified installer 4.3.6 and I guess there we need to do the bootstrapping before running buildout, right ?

[svx]

@prakharjoshi no you do not need that, as it is written in the docs:

# Extract the downloaded file
#
tar -xf Plone-5.0-UnifiedInstaller.tgz
#
# Go the folder containing installer script
#
cd Plone-5.0-UnifiedInstaller
#
# Run script
./install.sh

If you use the installer with certain options like set a password and a install path, please run:

./install.sh --help

you can find more info here:

http://docs.plone.org/manage/installing/installation.html

and here:

@svx Yeah that is okay with plone 5 but what if I have to craete a plone 4 instance ?

[prakharjoshi]

Okay I got it :)

[svx]

@prakharjoshi the same goes for the Plone 4, the only difference is that the UI-installer for Plone 4 comes without the GUI, so will need to run ./install.sh standalone for example

[smcmahon]

The Unified Installer (sort of) bootstraps the buildout. So there's no need to bootstrap it unless you're changing your Python.
