[web2py] Re: Web2py admin page causing internal error (version 2.9.10)

Discussion:

Dave S

2015-07-29 17:52:06 UTC

I just upgraded my web2py version on Pythonanywhere from 2.7.4 to 2.9.10,
so my live site can match my test site web2py version
This in turn has caused the admin page to start producing errors, so I am
unable to look at error tickets (they will just produce more errors).
I'm quite lost as to what I can do to fix this problem, as I can't even
read the error tickets (it's just a continuing cycle of internal errors).

You probably need to clear old sessions and old tickets out (back up the
tickets, then clear the directory). As I remember it, old sessions and old
tickets were the two biggest sources of error loops.

I've run sessions2trash.py to remove all sessions, as well as remove all
the files from the errors folder. Unfortunately I'm still getting the error
loop. Should I do this for the admin app as well?

Did you update the admin app?

Also, if I remember there have been many correction over 2.10.x web2py
build... I would avoid the 2.10.x series for this reason... I remember
having testing and having found it not that stable and I stay with 2.9.5...

2.11.2 seems to work great...

Richard

I am looking at the errors for the admin (at the files), and I am getting
a "<type 'exceptions.NameError'> name 'DEMO_MODE' is not defined"" error

That doesn't ring any bells for me, although I'm currently on 2.11.2. I
think the step that required some extra effort for pydal 2.10.x.

I've updated to version 2.11.2, and the problem still persists. I've
deleted all errors, cache, and sessions for both admin app and "myapp"

I am getting the following traceback when I look in the admin/errors files:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/marladarla7/web2py/
gluon/restricted.py", line 224, in restricted
exec ccode in environment
File "applications/admin/models/0_imports.py", line 15, in <module>

File "/home/marladarla7/web2py/gluon/custom_import.py", line 71, in
custom_importer
return NATIVE_IMPORTER(oname, globals, locals, fromlist, level)
File "mercurial.py", line 3, in <module>
if DEMO_MODE or MULTI_USER_MODE:

I have checked 0.py model, and DEMO_MODE = False, so I have no idea why I
am getting this error

If you have not customized them it is a not brainer and you are much more
confident that your app is working properly with the new web2py version...

The only thing is that the new welcome is BS3 based, so you may take care
if you are not ready for it...
