ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ccnet'

Hi guys,

I’m trying to install Seafile on a Raspberry Pi 4 (Raspbian Buster).
Everything works fine until I launch the seahub.sh script.

I got the following error

LC_ALL is not set in ENV, set to en_US.UTF-8
./seahub.sh: line 210: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8): No such file or directory
Starting seahub at port 8000 …
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/var/www/seafile/seafile-server-7.1.4/check_init_admin.py”, line 351, in
rpc = RPC()
File “/var/www/seafile/seafile-server-7.1.4/check_init_admin.py”, line 284, in init
import ccnet
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘ccnet’

I seached on Google, but nothing to help me.
I found a topic on this forum, but I don’t understand the answer “I used the typical installation in the /usr folder. That worked.”

Any idea ?

Thanks a lot.

And sorry for my english

@Mathias_Leonard Maybe here:

Seafile Server 7.1.4 for Raspberry Pi is ready! 23.05.2020

You can get it from the Seafile download section. Off topic: Perhaps somebody already realized it, maybe not, but I don’t want to miss the oportunity to communicate that our Seafile Raspberry Pi version celebrates this month his 5th anniversary. Happy Birthday dear Seafile Raspberry Pi version! Beside of that, we are similarly proud to announce the 50th release of the Raspberry Pi version. What a coincidence! I coul…

It’s a long thread, but I will recommend to read it. Most probably is your error already commented.

Thanks for the answer !

I’ve read the topic, but nothing about the ccnet module

UPDATE : Please check this post . Big Thanks to jobenvil!

(ln -s python3.7 python3.6)

My old Message:
Hi,

i get the same error if i try to start seahub.

File "/seafile/seafile-server-7.1.4/check_init_admin.py", line 284, in __init__
import ccnet
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ccnet'

I have taken the following into account:

• https://download.seafile.com/published/seafile-manual/upgrade/upgrade_notes_for_7.1.x.md

I have to set the PATH for django-admin and sqlformat with

export PYTHONPATH=...

@Mathias_Leonard That’s is what I found using the search function of the forum.

[Mathias_Leonard]

Damned, I used the search function, how did you find that?

I will try this solution, thanks again for your answer !

Hi, I had the same issue and spend almost a day to figure out what’s wrong.

I’ve installed python-pip3, libmemcached-dec, zlib1g-dev, python3-dev and executed sudo pip3 install Pillow captcha jinja2 sqlalchemy django-simple-captcha python3-ldap pylibmc django-pylibmc (without sudo the installation of the last two packaged fails. DeprecationWarning for pylibmc and fatal error: Python.h: not found), but the ccnet error was still there.

What really helped was creating a soft link as described in the post @jobenvil talks about:

If you use the rpi-Buster version, you need to do some hack after you extract the rpi seafile package in your system. The python library path is hardcoded during the compilation to point to
$INSTALLDIR/seafile/lib/python3.6/site-packages in few seafile shell scripts, like seahub.sh, reset-admin.sh, setup-seafile-mysql.sh and upgrade_7.0_7.1.sh. The issue arises if you compile Seafile server with other Python version than Python 3.6. These paths still points to /python3.6/ but since the native Buster version brings Python 3.7, the directory created under
$INSTALLDIR/seafile/lib/ will be /python3.7/ instead of /python3.6/. Therefore it must be created a symbolic soft link from python3.6 to python3.7 inside $INSTALLDIR/seafile/lib/ like “ln -s python3.7 python3.6”.

After that seahub.sh start works. I’m not sure if I needed the packages above, but since it’s working, I’m not touching it anymore.

One more thing: I saw in the logs that port 10001 needs to be open for seafile and ccnet .
