Blank page when running local instance

[patcon]

I'm running ubuntu 14.04

I cloned the repo yesterday, and installed via the instructions in the readme. I didn't see any issue during install, as accepting all the default options. I set up my superuser as prompted during setup, and ran the server, but only a blank page showed up at 127.0.0.1:8002

This showed up in the logs:

(pdsEnv)~/longer-tmp/pdsEnv/openPDS (master ✔) ᐅ python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8002
Validating models...

0 errors found
Django version 1.4.13, using settings 'openpds.settings'
Development server is running at http://0.0.0.0:8002/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.
[07/Nov/2014 20:22:02] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 404 15
[07/Nov/2014 20:22:02] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 404 15
[07/Nov/2014 20:22:02] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 404 15
[ etc...]

Any thoughts? I'm pretty technically inclined, so I don't think I'm missing anything obvious if the install instructions are still up-to-date.

Thanks!

Hey Patrick,

Try opening http://0.0.0.0:8002/admin

There's nothing actually mapped to the root URL. There probably should be,
just for clarity, but it hasn't been a huge issue for us, since openPDS
itself doesn't face the end user. If you feel strongly about it, let me know, and I'll assign the issue to someone.

That makes sense. I'll check it out when I'm on desktop

I don't feel strongly per se, but if it took someone reasonably technically inclined 3+ extra days to participate due to confusion, it might be worth a redirect :)

[patcon]

Also, thanks very much for the reply and your work on the project!

[RogerTangos]

yep. Point well taken. A lot of the work we've been doing is to get the
codebase into a shape where the broader open source community can
participate. If this is something you're inclined to work on, please feel
free to fork and commit to the dev branch.

Otherwise, I'll be getting it done sometime around Friday. (This week's
pretty hectic for us.)

That's a great suggestion, Al.

Patrick - this is a great opportunity to dip your feet into contributing to the project in a low-impact way. I've updated the wiki homepage to provide a great place for the / page on openPDS to either link to or redirect to. I think it makes sense to link off to a wiki page as it allows us to update and maintain the information on the page without requiring users to pull down a new version of openPDS every time we feel the need to update / add to this information.

I'll go ahead and assign this ticket to you. If you don't feel you can get around to it, either myself or Al can take it back.

[brian717]

Actually, it looks like the ticket can't be assigned to you until you accept the invite to become a collaborator on the project. Feel free to assign it as you see fit after becoming a collaborator.

[patcon]

Thanks :) I'll look into it.

Also, related to assigning issues to non-collaborators, feel free to +1 this: isaacs/github#100

[patcon]

i'll close this in favour of the PR linked above. Thanks!
