#musicbrainz-devel

hey guys - I am new to musicbrainz and getting errors trying to run the ova image provided

seeing errors like

l_area_area 110592 96% 257454Error loading /tmp/MBImport-dYBK8Rp4/mbdump/l_area_area: DBD::Pg::db pg_putcopyend failed: ERROR: extra data after last expected column CONTEXT: COPY l_area_area, line 1: "211873422226202013-05-17 20:06:26.445481+000" at /home/musicbrainz/musicbrainz-server/admin/MBImport.pl line 302, <LOAD> line 114492. Sun Jun 14 00:12:32 2015 : load l_area_artist Sun Jun 14 00

is it better to log this via the forums?

taz: Sundays (well, weekends in general) seem to be rather slow days for #musicbrainz-devel - I would either try the mailing list or simply wait around for an answer, possibly until tomorrow.

thanks Freso

am digging around the forums at the moment trying various things - if I dont get anywhere I'll look at the mailing list

http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-8432 seems like a common problem for newer editors who don't know the differences between indexed and direct search.

Although it's not really valid as a bug.

ruaok: did any customer say anything about the English wiki thing in the end?

KRSCuan: yeah, although not sure what can be done about it other than wait until we have instant indexed :/

Maybe make that a higher priority, or highlight direct search even more.

Though in his case, it should have already selected the correct artist in release editor.

https://musicbrainz.org/release/b3fdf02e-3bc0-4... is the release he was adding.

Well, we have a GSoC project looking at finishing a better search

He added three artists for it, the last with "Can't user the other one due to a bug in musicbrainz" as disamb.

reosarevok: no comments at all.

Guess that's good :)

Hey, getting some issues running through the manual setup process for a Musicbrainz mirror. make is telling me there's no targets when I go to make the unaccent and collate extensions

DWSR: have you `git clone`d them separately or are you using the directories in the musicbrainz-server repository? if the latter, have you cloned that repository recursively?

I init'd them using git submodule.

I initially didn't and then printed out the directories and was like ... I derped somwhere.

s/init'd/init'd and updated/

ah, I was about to ask that :)

Sorry, yes.

Yeah. Noticed that it was blank and then took a look back at the repo and figured it all out.

so it's working now?

Nope.

Makefile:23: /usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/lib/pgxs/src/makefiles/pgxs.mk: No such file or directory <-- This is the error I'm receiving.

does that file exist? it's part of the postgresql-server-dev-9.3 package

Let me triple check that I installed that package.

huh, must have typo'd it and never installed it.

Sorry!

no problem. I'm pretty sure that something like that has happened to most of us before, even if we wouldn't admit it :)

Also, if I followed https://bitbucket.org/lalinsky/mbslave I have a replicated copy of the database, correct?

So I can skip the "Creating the Database" section of https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve... ?

I'm not sure if you can use the database created by mbslave with musicbrainz-server directly, sorry

le sigh

Though I would expect it works, considering that the database should be the same.

Let's just throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks, shall we?

Mineo: http://pastebin.com/9hYMMQXp <-- Any ideas here?

Plack-Middleware-Debug isn't even a package according to CPAN.

err, according to cpanm. I can find it on cpan =\

no idea, sorry. it has been a long time since I've last had to debug dependency issues with MBS

Yeah, I've tried to get the server up and running a couple of times in the last few years using the manual install instructions and it's been...bumpy to say the least.

Obviously someone must know how to do it from scratch, but that information never seems to quite make it to public docs.

Either that or I'm looking in the wrong place for it (which is also entirely possible).

Also doesn't help that I'm really more of a Microsoft guy anyway and so I don't have much experience with Perl.

DWSR: People have updated the INSTALL.md within the last year to bring it up to speed and several people have followed the INSTALL.md instructions to install "from scratch" without issues.

Freso: I'm attempting to install by following it now and it's missed out a couple of commands that were not obvious (to me at least).

If Perl dependencies have come out of sync again (ie., some deps are required to be of an older or a specific version).

... then a bug (or PR (or both!)) should be filed.

Freso: Additionally, cpanm seems to have missed a truckload of dependencies. I finally got cpanm to install Plack::Middleware::Debug and it's had to install probably ~100 other modules.

Though that's not related to MBS, obviously.
