Hello everyone,

I encounter an error while updating commcare with the deploy command.

Hello,

If the other commands in the deploy command worked correctly, the requirements file should exist in that expected location. What exact series of commands did you run when you got this error?

Hi Sravan\_Reddy,

I try to follow the documentation here [https://commcare-cloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/operations/2-deploys.html#step-1-update-commcare-cloud](https://commcare-cloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/operations/2-deploys.html#step-1-update-commcare-cloud)

Here are the commands I executed before I got this error :

- update-code
- commcare-cloud monolith deploy

Before these two commands I updated the url format ([https://github.com/](https://github.com/)) of the submodules on current release.

Thanks,

Have you been able to successfully deploy in the past? If so, do the requirements files exist in the current release?

If you have not deployed before have you run the Ansible deploy?

```auto
$ commcare-cloud monolith deploy-stack --skip-check -e 'CCHQ_IS_FRESH_INSTALL=1'

```

Hello Simon,

Thank you for taking the time.

> Have you been able to successfully deploy in the past?

I'm not sure but I think so, because the instance works (was used) with the current install release. (September 2020)

> If so, do the requirements files exist in the current release?

The contents of the requirements repository of the current release are as follows :

> /home/cchq/www/monolith/current/requirements$ ls -a  
> . build-requirements.txt prod-requirements.in requirements.in test-requirements.txt yum-packages.txt  
> .. dev-requirements.in prod-requirements.txt requirements.txt uninstall-requirements-after-install.txt  
> apt-packages.txt dev-requirements.txt rabbitmq-packages.txt test-requirements.in uninstall-requirements.txt

Do I need to run this command since the current release is not a fresh installation ?

> commcare-cloud monolith deploy-stack --skip-check -e 'CCHQ\_IS\_FRESH\_INSTALL=1'

No you should not need to run this. However since this installation has not been touched in a long time I would recommend going through the [change logs](https://commcare-cloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog/index.html) to ensure that all required maintenance has been done.

On specific thing I noticed when re-examining the error is that this environment is still running Python 3.6 which is no longer supported. You can find the change log entry for upgrading Python here: [45. Upgrade CommCare HQ to Python 3.9 — CommCareHQ Deployment documentation](https://commcare-cloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog/0045-upgrade-to-python-39.html)

But before you do that I think it would be best to review all the change logs and ensure they are applied in order.

I will apply the required maintenance in [changelog](https://commcare-cloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog/index.html).

After that I will re-try deploy command.

I will keep you informed about my progress.

Thank you,

Hi Simon,

I notice an warning when connecting to the commcare.

To finish first-time installation, run "manage-commcare-cloud configure"

 ![warnings](https://dimagi.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/d/da5a8c70dc308e3bf047400ca195251f6294fe85.png)

Is this normal?

Hi @Simon_Kelly,

I have followed your recommendations by applying the [changelog](https://commcare-cloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog/index.html) instructions.

I'm on **2020-10-14** [Run command to update Supervisor configurations](https://commcare-cloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog/0037-update-supervisor-confs.html).

The instruction is to first deploy the following version of CommCare [05ebc51b](https://github.com/dimagi/commcare-hq/commit/05ebc51ba4b16a420f0fd64c17ffad89501ea36d), which I did by executing :

> $ commcare-cloud monolith deploy --commcare-rev 05ebc51ba4b16a420f0fd64c17ffad89501ea36d

I encounter the following error :

It seems that he was trying to get a commit that does not exist (170e74cf47c4757502bc1654414930685aacaa5a).

Does this mean anything to you?

Hi, the commit definitely does exist ([Add Nuer · dimagi/langcodes@170e74c · GitHub](https://github.com/dimagi/langcodes/commit/170e74cf47c4757502bc1654414930685aacaa5a)). I think the issue may be related to the errors above that which are connection timeouts connecting to Github.

You could try running the command manually to see if the error persists:

```auto
sudo -iu cchq
cd /home/cchq/www/monolith/releases/2022-07-05_09.21
git submodule update --init --recursive

```

What do you see if you run this?

`$ git submodule foreach 'git remote -v'`

Hello Ethan & @Simon_Kelly,  
Sorry for the delay. I had an issue with my hoster..

This is surprising because I have changed the format of the url in the current version as you can see here to correct the issue identified in the post you quoted (That looks like the issue @jmiller found [here](https://forum.dimagi.com/t/commcare-deployement-error/9113/6)):

I modified the url format in the release /home/cchq/www/monolith/releases/2022-07-15\_12.13 then run the command

**How to correctly resume deploy on this release ? (2022-07-15\_12.13)**

I'm not sure it's worth resuming the deploy - have you tried just doing a new one entirely?

There should be multiple copies of the git repository inside `~/www/monolith/releases/`, one for each recent release (the deploy script deletes the older ones eventually). When a deploy is run, it copies the currently active repo to a new directory. I suspect what may have happened is you correctly updated the URLs for the new directory, but not for the old one, then on redeploy, it overwrote it again.

I'd make sure to update the URLs for the current repo (the one aliased to `~/www/monolith/current/`), then try a new deploy without using `--resume`.

Yes i tried it, but I have the same error.

When **deploy --resume** is used, it proceeds with the failed deployment. Does this also apply to a failed deploy with the **--commcare-rev** argument?

Here is the urls on the current release.

Are they all correct?

I don't understand why in the release I want to deploy (05ebc51ba4b16a420f0fd64c17ffad89501ea36d) the urls are not correct although the urls are correct in the current version.  
I have suspicion that the git clone of the current release when deploying is not working properly, or that there is some other problem.  
Does this make sense?

I post here the full logs of the failed deploy.

I thought there is an issue with the submodules urls on the release to be deployed.

The current release submodule urls looks right to me.

After the git clone and the following commands the release to be deployed has no more correct submodules urls.

What could be the origin of this?

Thanks in advance.

I do see this in the logs for each submodule:

> .gitmodules, multiple configurations found for 'submodule.corehq/apps/hqmedia/static/hqmedia/MediaUploader.path'. Skipping second one!

I wonder if somehow the submodules are configured twice each, with different URL formats. Not sure how that could've happened, but I suspect you'll need to correct that manually.

Which configuration (file) are you referring to?  
Can you lead me a bit further?  
Thanks

This is the contain of .gitmodules on the current release ( **/home/cchq/www/monolith/current** ):

Is there anything wrong ?

The .gitmodules file of the version to deploy (which failed) has an incorrect url format: **git://**

Actually I might've been mistaken about that "multiple configurations" message - I see that as well when I deploy.

> The .gitmodules file of the version to deploy (which failed) has an incorrect url format: **git://**

Honestly I'm not sure how to proceed from here - it must be getting those old URL formats from somewhere, I'd try to figure out where.
