 Forums >>  Brainstorms - General  >>  sulley process_monitor.py, "error starting RPC server!"

Topic created on: July 23, 2011 21:53 CDT by blsonne .

Greetings lads & ladies,

I've stfw and peered into the code looking for the reason that I'm getting "Error starting RPC server!" when I try to run process_monitor.py, but have not found an answer.

Has anyone encountered this error before (and have some advice to offer) or am I just being retarded and missing something obvious?

Adding some debug printfs into process_monitor.py in:

    class process_monitor_pedrpc_server (pedrpc.server)

Lead me to the conclusion that it never makes it past:
    
    self.crash_bin = utils.crash_binning.crash_binning()

And if I comment out that line, it later cacks on:

    self.log("\t # records:  %d" % len(self.crash_bin.bins))

So I'm confident is has to do with crash binning somehow.

Cheers,
B

p.s. Forgot to mention that I appreciate all the work put into everything (pydbg, sulley, etc).

Nevermind, apparently I *was* retarded and missing something obvious. Running it out of a different directory (instead of my site-packages as I was doing) solved the issue. <sigh>

Hi. Just had the same error message but slightly different cause: I had started process_monitor.py with a directory instead of a FILE TO SAVE CRASHDUMPS.

So PEBKAC again, but checking the path when starting process_monitor  would be a nice feature ;-)
