Help with CommCARE-HQ

Hi Allen,

I'm cc-ing our google group in case any of the other developers have
thoughts on this. In the future please send all questions to this group
(and you should join so you can get updates about the code from other
people!).

So it looks like somewhere in your Django settings you are referencing a
middleware that doesn't exist.

The main settings file for commcare hq resides in the rapidsms submodule at
lib/rapidsms/webui/settings.py. There you should see a list of middlewares
like:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = [
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
]

We also allow you to add middlewares via your settings file (the local.ini
file you should have copied from rapidsms.ini). This is done in the
following section:

[customdjango]
middlewares=hq.middleware.hq.HqMiddleware

Do both of these sections look the same as in your files?

thanks,
Cory

Hi, I just encountered the same problem. It seems to be caused by
RapidSMS not parsing the [customdjango] directives properly. The value
is passed as string rather than an array containing a string, and the
for..in loop at webui/settings.py assuming this is an array - so for
'hq.middleware.hq.HqMiddleware' it attempts to load module 'h', than
module 'q' etc...

A quick fix was to add a type check cast the value into an array. I'm
attaching a diff below. Obviously that's not the ideal fix - the
problem is somewhere in RapidSMS Config class but I didn't dig too
deep into that..

Thanks Nir!

I've pushed your workaround to our fork of rapidsms
Adding workaround for rapidsms inconsistently converting settings to · dimagi/rapidsms@1a68786 · GitHub.
I don't know why it worked for us without this but not you guys, but
hopefully this at least resolves it.

Allen, let me know if you still have problems after pulling down the latest
version of rapidsms.

thanks,
Cory

We also allow you to add middlewares via your settings file (the
local.ini
file you should have copied from rapidsms.ini). This is done in the
following section:

[customdjango]
middlewares=hq.middleware.hq.HqMiddleware

Do both of these sections look the same as in your files?
