[GeoNode-devel] Unable to install correctly geonode2.8 in remote VM (e.g. google cloud)

[Dimitris Kar]

Hello all,

I am trying to install GeoNode 2.8 in a google cloud VM with Ubuntu16.04
xenial. The follow the quick Installation guide. After the final step (set
the correct IP) I try to access geonode and I get an unstyled version of it
(attachment 1). When I check the webdevelopers tool I see there are several
style files not loaded and I get errors like (more attachment 2):

Refused to apply style from '<URL>' because its MIME type ('text/html') is
not a supported stylesheet MIME type, and strict MIME checking is enabled.
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500
(INTERNAL SERVER ERROR)

In the error.log of apache2 I get these logs:

[Sun May 20 13:34:02.876244 2018] [wsgi:error] [pid 908:tid
139774983251712]   File "/usr/l
ib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/http/request.py", line 571, in
validate_host

pattern.lower()
[Sun May 20 13:34:02.876334 2018] [wsgi:error] [pid 908:tid
139774983251712] AttributeError
: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'lower'

I have also tried to install it in another remote VM and I get exactly the
same behavior.
