askbot-setup error
 
   
  
 
 
I pip installed askbot then 
 
$ askbot-setup

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/askbot-setup", line 5, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/distribute-0.6.24-py2.7.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 2707, in <module>

    raise DistributionNotFound(req)

I got this error. How do I resolve this?

Try using virtual environment indeed. If you install everything into system packages you may end up with different apps conflicting for the version of some dependency package.

David, I think something not right happened during the pip install process, as it would normally install all the dependencies.
 
You can try again. (I'll also test the process now to double-check).

David, works fine for me, I am on python 2.6 though. Are you using virtual environment? Try:
 
mkdir newdir
cd newdir
virtualenv env --no-site-packages
source env/bin/activate
pip install askbot

 
Then askbot-setup. If you still have error, we'll run tests on python2.7 and would like to know more about your system.

I am getting the same error. What would you like to know about my system?

David, is the threaded-multihost installed as zipped python egg? maybe you need to unzip it?
