If you have any problem during the installation of OpenQuake, please check this list before asking on IRC/ML.

java.lang.ExceptionPyRaisable: java.lang.Exception: Class XYZ not found

This is probably due to the OpenQuake jar that is missing. Try to build the jar with:

cd /to/your/openquake/dir/
ant build-openquake-jar

And run the tests suite (or the smoke test) again.

RuntimeError: Unable to start JVM at src/native/common/jp_env.cpp:54

This is probably because the max_mem parameter is set too high in openquake/java.py. Try to decrease it and run the tests suite (or the smoke test) again.

    if os.path.exists(java_home+"/bin/javac") :
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'NoneType' and 'str'

This is because the JAVA_HOME environment variable is empty. Try to export it again before launching celeryd and rerun the tests suite.

This is because the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set up, but it is pointing to the wrong directory. Try to export it again and rerun the tests suite.

celery.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Celery needs to be  configured to run celeryd.

Solution:

Make you are running celeryd from the directory containing celeryconfig.py.

In some cases, the cause of this issue may be an incompatible version of python-gflags. This is indicated by the following error when trying to

import celeryconfig

in a Python console.

~/openquake$ python

>>> import celeryconfig

Traceback (most recent call last):

Make sure you have the proper version of python-gflags installed. Check out the Installation page for more information.
