Installing powa-web on Windows

[ErwanVideo]

Hello, I would like to install powa-web on Windows but I have some issues doing so. I installed python, psycopg2, sqlalchemy and tornado using pip. When I try to run the "run_powa.py" file with PyCharm I get this text :

C:\Users\erwan.beta\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\python.exe C:/Users/erwan.beta/Downloads/powa-web-master/run_powa.py You should define a server and cookie_secret in your configuration file. Place and adapt the following content in one of those locations:

/etc/powa-web.conf C:\Users\erwan.beta/.config/powa-web.conf C:\Users\erwan.beta/.powa-web.conf ./powa-web.conf

servers={ 'main': { 'host': 'localhost', 'port': '5432', 'database': 'powa' } } cookie_secret="SUPERSECRET_THAT_YOU_SHOULD_CHANGE"

But because I am on Windows I don't really understand where I should create the powa-web.conf file, do you know where I should create it ?

I am not really sur if it's clear, thank you in advance for your time.

Hello,

I don't have a windows to test on, but according to the error you can create the file in either

• C:\Users\erwan.beta/.config/powa-web.conf
• C:\Users\erwan.beta/.powa-web.conf
• same directory as where run_powa.py is located

Also, be careful that run_powa.py starts powa-web with debug enabled. You should consider using powa-web.py instead.

Ok I'll try this and keep you updated.

Thank you !

What you told me worked. I created the configuration file in the same directory as where 'run_powa.py' is and the error disappeared. Thank you very much !

However I still had some small issue with the server so I think I won't use it with Windows.
