It compiles successfully now, I get the same indiweb install failure.

with an indiweb server started in another terminal session
/usr/local/bin/indi-web -v

The the IndiWeb Manager app sees it is running and will display it's behaviour if you don't let it kill it.

Ok, I have a couple of questions,

So when you run the indiwebmanagerapp, does it still come up with the dialog that says that python or indiweb aren't installed properly? I made it now just check if the path to indi-web exists which greatly simplifies the code.

Can you start and stop the web manager using the buttons on the main window?

Does the button work that opens up the web manager so you can view it?

In the configuration panel, does it still say that python/indi-web are not installed?

Oh before you answer those questions be sure you update from git because I did make a couple more changes.

Thanks

SUCCESS!
Recompiled
python exec folder /usr/bin/
indi-web path /usr/local/bin/indi-web

Note that the resultant path is:
"2019-06-26T11:45:28: export PATH=/usr/bin/:/usr/bin/:/usr/share/indi:usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"

There is still a missing / in there, but I'm not sure how to correct that or what added it or when.

Thanks you Rob

Hope this was worth your effect (and that I'm not a one-off case).

One note, it wasn't obvious (to me) earlier that "Apply" needed to be applied at each config entry change. Being on the bottom row next to OK and Cancel led me to think that was to be applied as a final step.

Thanks Patrick, I just corrected the /usr/local/bin slash mistake.

Thanks Jerry, no your situation with python in /usr/bin and pip in /usr/local/bin is just a different python configuration and it is a valid one and one a number of people might have due to the way they installed or updated python/pip. So we want to be sure to support that. I would not say you will be the only one with this setup. Also your experience helped me to update and simplify some parts of the program and also catch some bugs on my part.

I did update the issue with clicking apply. So now, the detection of the paths to python and indiweb to verify the installation do not depend upon clicking apply anymore. And if you try to install without clicking apply, it will tell you to click apply. The other paths and options in the configuration do not need to be applied until you click ok and close the preferences panel. So I think this is now better. So yes I appreciated your struggle with that and fixed it I hope.

I just made a bunch of changes today to add tooltips, whatsthis, and help pages. Can you guys please check those out? If everything checks out, then I think we will be ready for 0.8 release.

Thanks,

Rob

Hi,

Is it normal for the INDI webmanager app to go OFFLINE after Online for few seconds ? Weird.....

BTW, i just upgrade to the latest nightly build.

Regards,
Tom

I haven't yet sent the version I am working on to Jasem to include in the nightly build. So it might not have everything we were just recently discussing in this forum. That being said, the older version should still work. The main changes we were addressing were related to an unusual setup.

When you hit the start ("play") button, does it go off again after a moment? If so, then it wasn't successful at starting the indiweb app. You might check your configurations in the preferences.

The tool tips look good. When I click on the "Open WebManager" button on my machine, I get:

Yes, it goes offline after hit Play button. It goes offline after I change the indi-web path to /usr/local/bin/indi-web.

So, when you close the config panel updating settings, it should make it go offline for a moment because a change in settings means that it must be restarted. But if it was running before you opened the panel, it should start up again. But if indiweb is installed on your system and that path to it is correct, it should run when you hit the play button and keep running

it could be related to the bug that Patrick found where I misnamed the folder /usr/local/bin in the path variable.
