Shinken fails to pip install with pip 7.1.2

[gourneau]

When installing with the latest version of pip 7.1.2 the /etc/shinken directory is not created, and lots of other things are missing. This is the output of the install.

root@backbone:~# pip install shinken

However, the install works as expected with pip 1.5.4 (what python-pip currently has for Ubuntu 14.04)

We will give a try.

Hi,

I try to install shinken on new ubuntu server 16.04, and I have same issue.

Pip and python versions (fresh installed from ubuntu repo):

root@shinken-server:~# pip -V
pip 8.1.1 from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)
root@shinken-server:~# python -V
Python 2.7.11+

After pip install, shinken seems to not be installed. Any update on this issue?

See pip install log in attachement : pip.txt

Yeah, pip does not work and even worse, manual install is also broken. This is Ubuntu Xenial:

root@cela:~/shinken-2.4.3# python2 setup.py install
('updating path in %s', 'build/shinken.cfg')
running install
error: can't create or remove files in install directory

The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the
installation directory:

    [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/test-easy-install-6476.write-test'

The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

    /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/

This directory does not currently exist.  Please create it and try again, or
choose a different installation directory (using the -d or --install-dir
option).

But reading file FOR_PACKAGERS I discovered that it's possible to manually specify the root directory, which installs shinken nearly correctly:

python setup.py install --root=/

Unfortunately you must play with file permissions manually after installation. What I did:

1. uncommented user shinken in /etc/default/shinken
2. chown -R shinken /var/log/shinken

BTW, I have installed also:

apt-get install python-cherrypy3

BEFORE shinken installation to use faster cherrypy

@ser , be careful, on Ubuntu Xenial, there is no python 2.7 installed.

I will try to reproduce this issue using Docker.

[ser]

there is, it's enough to install python-pip package to have fully working Python 2.7.11+ environment

I'm using an LXD container, BTW :)

Full procedure of manual install in vanilla xenial lxd, because I'm doing it again:

# groupadd -g 888 shinken
# useradd -u 888 -g 888 shinken
# apt install python-setuptools python-wheel python-cherrypy3
# cd /usr/src
# git clone https://github.com/naparuba/shinken
# cd shinken
# python setup.py install --root=/
# chown -R shinken.shinken /var/log/shinken
# update-rc.d shinken defaults
# apt install monitoring-plugins
# apt clean

Hi I'm not able to clone the git repository, any issue with it?

root@ubuntuprueba2:/usr/src# git clone https://github.com/naparuba/shinken
Cloning into 'shinken'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/naparuba/shinken/': gnutls_handshake() failed: Error in the push function.

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 with the last available patches. Regards.

I've bypassed the error by downloading the tar file and extracting it on /usr/src:

`root@ubuntuprueba2:/usr/src# cd shinken-2.4.3/

root@ubuntuprueba2:/usr/src/shinken-2.4.3# python setup.py install --root=/ Previous Shinken lib detected (/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/shinken/init.pyc) running install ...`
