Running a VW image on a Slicehost server

Hi,

I am trying to run a stripped and headless VW-seaside image on a Slicehost.com Ubuntu 9.04 server.

This image runs fine on a local Ubuntu 9.04 but on the Slicehost server it continues to give the

"No such file or directory" message on starting it up.

The situation is the same If I try to deploy on Fedora 10.

Is there anay explanation for this ? missing libraries or something.

Best regards,

@+Maarten,

Re: Running a VW image on a Slicehost server

I ran into the same issue with the Squeak VM. The Slicehost installation doesn't include the 32-bit libraries. You'll need to install them to get the VM running.

As suggested, this is probably a 32-bit versus 64-bit problem. You can
use the (alpha?) 64-bit image included with VW7.6 (look in the "preview"
directory). I have a student hosting a VW app on slicehost and I know
he struggled with this a bit. I think in the end he deployed his
application as parcels from his development image (on a 32 bit machine),
and loads the parcels into the 64bit image through the -pcl command line
option at server startup. He hasn't had any problems as far as I know.

If he hasn't had problems, he's lucky :-) We've done quite a lot of work on the 64-bit support in 7.7. If he's going to use it, I'd suggest using the 7.7 versions from vw-dev, or just sticking with the 32-bit. For whatever reason, Ubuntu 32-bit doesn't install the required 32-bit libraries by default and you have to add them. The incantation to do so was posted in one of the mailing lists. I can dig it up if no one more Unix-knowledgeable knows it offhand.

Thanks a lot,

Installing these libraries worked immediately.

:-) Or silently suffering. I'll send him a link to this thread. Thanks!
