Local VM Install

[MustafaHaddara]

I've set up a local vm install as per the instructions on the wiki http://docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/custom_installs/local_rtd_vm.html

After logging in and clicking the automatic "build our demo project" button, my build is stuck at the Triggered state.

Logs when I trigger a build:

I looked at the logs in logs/ and I don't see any exceptions or error messages anywhere...is there somewhere else I should be looking?

I get the same error following Local VM Install instructions. The only weird line from the ./manage.py runserver output is:

[25/Jan/2016 19:21:39]"GET /api/v2/build/24/ HTTP/1.1" 403 38

I also get the following error:

[25/Jan/2016 18:50:25] WARNING [textclassifier.validators:77] Error initializing classifier data, check data file
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/username/rtd/lib/python2.7/site-packages/textclassifier/validators.py", line 74, in get_classifier
    return DefaultClassifier()
  File "/home/username/rtd/lib/python2.7/site-packages/textclassifier/classifier.py", line 21, in __init__
    raise ValueError('Classifier data file is not set')

I started celery with ./manage.py celeryd, but I don't see any tasks being started.

Looks like the documentation is missing something...

I deleted the dev.db database and went through the instructions again, and it works now!

I think the problem was that I didn't run ./manage.py loaddata test_data the first time, or that it didn't run successfully.

I am getting this issue, any ideas how to fix this? I have my server on a AWS instance.
