Gitstack problems with using python env vars

[marcusobrien]

Hi,

I installed gitstack on my windows machine, and several proprietary tools failed. I then removed the environment vars PYTHON_PATH and PYTHON_HOME (as put in by the gitstack installer). Then my original tools all started working and now the web dashboard of gitstack gives me a 500. I presume it needs these vars to run ? How am I going to allow these 2 systems to co-exist ? I need python to be used by my tools based on using the vars if they exist, and a hard coded URL if not - this works for me. Gitstack needs these 2 vars to point to its own version of python that it came installed with. My tools are using 2.7.7, my gitstack defines the vars as

PYTHONPATH = C:\GitStack\python\lib
PYTHONHOME= C:\GitStack\python

Could I just set these 2 to be my python 2.7.7 install at C:\Python27\lib and C:\Python27 respectively ? Will gitstack be happy with 2.7.7. As my tools are not happy with GitStack/python (as this install is a subset and doesn't included packages such as serial etc.)

Hello, I confirm that GitStack will be happy with 2.7.7. Best,

Hi,

When I put back the environ vars but set them to my 2.7 python, I get the same 500 error (doesnt matter which browser IE, edge, safari, chrome, firefox). Then when I put the vars back to their original state ie use the version of gitstacks python, reboot, the web client works again. So its not possible to set these python vars to anything else, and its also not possible for my machine config to have them set up to point to the gitstack python either. So any ideas on how I can use both ?

I need to use gitstack - so I need the vars, and I need to use my companies python scripts - which do not work when the vars point to the gitstack python.
