Setting Up You Tube Direct

Hope I’m posting in the right place. I’m trying to set up and deploy YTD and to me it IS rocket science. I’m going through the steps from the instructions. However the instructions do not say what to do if something goes wrong. I’ve gotten as far as running YTD on my localhost but when I log in to admin I get HTTP ERROR: 500 Error running javac.exe compiler

I have no idea how to fix this – I’m using eclipse with the JDK and plugins and stuff

    Hi Steve,

    Yea the documentation does not make it easy to troubleshoot by any means. I’ve heard lots of people having this problem, as did I when I first set up YTD. Try to go ahead and deploy your project to App Engine. I received the same errors, so I skipped troubleshooting and went right to deploying and it worked fine. Hope this helps.

    Hello,

    It seems like many Windows installations don’t already have a Java JDK installed, and running the local development environment without a Java JDK installed and configured can lead to that error.

    The second paragraph of

    http://code.google.com/p/youtube-direct/wiki/EclipseSetup

    should explain how to take care of that.
