Hi Luca,
"make" would seem to be working without errors but everything remains the
same, after carrying out all the steps, PracticeWebServer just responds a
generic 404 page.
I have now noticed that the
https://github.com/algorithm-ninja/cmsocial/tree/develop/cmsocial subfolder
contains a read.md and suggest that "grunt" should be run to build that.
I'm not sure if it is supposed to be run apart from the "main project make"
sequence or not.
Trying a simple "grunt" command in that folder fails with:
"A valid Gruntfile could not be found. Please see the getting started guide
for
more information on how to configure grunt:
http://gruntjs.com/getting-started
Fatal error: Unable to find Gruntfile."
So it seems that something is missing or it is not supposed to be used like
that.
Currently I am inclined to work with the original oii-web if I can learn
how to load data to the system (for example, to add regions) since that web
server at least started correctly, and also that one seems to have way less
dependencies (I think that one was just python for the server and
javascript for the client, while this other one seems to download lots of
nodejs stuff).
However it might well be that a simple yet key step is missing for me to
successfully start the new project's PracticeWebServer.
Thanks once again for all the help that you've already provided.

Now that I think about it, the instructions in the master branch forget to
mention to run make before running setup.py (as in the develop branch)...

Unfortunately, after trying for a while, this other project seems harder
to get running than the previous one oii-web.
I am using the master branch for now. All the steps that I have carried
out so far are:
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements.txt [Both for the
https://github.com/algorithm-ninja/cmsocial project and the cms project
that it downloads from git when installing requirements|
python setup.py build
python setup.py install [This adds the cmsPracticeWebServer command]
Create a database as explained in http://cms.readthedocs.io/en/v
1.2/Running%20CMS.html:
sudo su - postgres
createuser oia-juez-user -P
createdb -O oia-juez-user oia-juez-db
psql oia-juez-db -c 'ALTER SCHEMA public OWNER TO "oia-juez-user"'
psql oia-juez-db -c 'GRANT SELECT ON pg_largeobject TO
"oia-juez-user"'
Initialize said database:
cmsInitDB
python2 -c "import cmsocial.db; from cms.db import metadata;
metadata.create_all()"
psql oia-juez-user -h 127.0.0.1 -d oia-juez-db < create_triggers.sql
Create an admin:
cmsAddAdmin -p password name
So far, it would seem like all of these steps worked.
All cms services seem to start allright when started individually, but
the cmsPracticeWebServer gives a completely generic 404 page, unlike when
using oii-web, which put the site up on the first try. Maybe it is not
supposed to just work like that like the previous version did?
Again, thanks a lot for your fast response.

Hi,I wouldn't say this is the right mailing list, but as far as I know
I am not writing about the main CMS system per se, but instead I am
interested in the "oii-web" variant, as used in https://cms.di.unipi.it.
In the event that this is not the right mailing list, please let me know.
there isn't a right one - I think the best way would be to create an issue
on github so far...
Anyway, "oii-web" is the legacy version of that project - you can find
the latest one here https://github.com/algorithm-ninja/cmsocial. There
is some (really minor) documentation in the readme file. In the branch
"develop" you can find the latest changes, with some extra documentation.
That's really good :)
We are planning to use such a system for our national olympiad, since
it seems to already implement most of the features we are interested in and
relies heavily on cms, which is already our preferred contest manager. We
will probably translate to Spanish and possibly make very minor tweaks but
would otherwise use most of the project just as it is.
Is there by any chance any installation and use documentation as thereYou should use the new version, if I remember well it won't ask for a
is for the main cms at https://cms.readthedocs.io/en/v1.2/index.html?
I have not found any so far, apart from the paper which describes the
system from a fairly general perspective.
I have successfully created an empty database and started
cmsPracticeWebServer (it seems to use the ContestWebServer port from config
file, since that service is not used in an online judge), which seems to be
the service that implements this new nice online-judge functionality.
Operating on this empty database, things seem to work without errors, but I
am not able to sign up with a new user because the "Region" field cannot be
left blank, but the drop-down list is empty. I guess region data must be
entered somehow into the database by an administrator. How is that done?
region anymore.
In the master branch, all tasks from contest with id 1 will be used.
That leads me to another question. Will contests (and problems) in the
database be used automatically and shown by cmsPracticeWebServer? For
example if I create new contests with adminWebServer, or if I import them
with importers.
Branch develop supports multiple contests running on a /contest_name/
prefix.
Should be about right. I don't remember ever using TestFileCacher, so I
Also: Which cms services must be up for the online judge to work
properly? I don't really know right now but I'm imagining they will be:
"Optionals"
LogService [just for logging]
ResourceService [just to start and keep services up, as usual]
Checker [just to ping services for resource service to restart them]
AdminWebServer [for an admin to operate directly on the database]
TestFileCacher [not sure exactly if optional or very important]
"Essentials"
ScoringService
EvaluationService
Worker
PracticeWebServer
Not necessary at all:
ProxyService
PrintingService
RankingWebServer
don't know what it should do - it is surely not really important :)
Localization should be entirely doable in the cmsocial
Please correct me if this understanding is mistaken.
Also, while it is our last priority right now, any useful information
or tip on localization of this system will eventually be useful at a later
point.
