Search not working

[ottodv]

Search is not working for me, I keep getting the error below in the multichain-explorer log when doing a search. The error is repeated several times. I am running on Ubuntu.

@ottodv What version of python are you running? 2.7.???

[ottodv]

Python 2.7.12

[bitcartel]

This error only occurs on the search page?

[ottodv]

Yes, that's the only situation in which I encounter this error. BTW, I also did a new install from scratch on another VM, but using CentOS this time, to see if the error occurs there too. The result is exactly the same error in the same situation (i.e. doing a search). The Python version on that VM is 2.7.5

[gidgreen]

This should now be fixed in the latest version of the Explorer - if so please close the issue.

[ottodv]

I installed the lastest version from github as you suggested. Search still doesn't work, but in addition to the previous error, I got an additional error message in the log (on Ubuntu, strangely not on CentOS). It doesn't look very helpful, but I post it here just in case it might be to you.

[gidgreen]

That's an error we should have fixed - did you rerun the python setup.py command from the README file?

[ottodv]

Did now (python setup.py install), but still no dice. Even restarted the VMs. I am now back to seeing only the error I quoted in my opening post, on both the Ubuntu and CentOS severs.

[gidgreen]

OK - thanks for the update. It fixed the search redirect problem we were seeing, but there's obviously a version/configuration issue here. We'll keep working on it.

[maxidev]

Same error here, search still does not work.

[reiven]

ping

[gidgreen]

If you're seeing this problem please post your Python version.

[reiven]

I have the same error described by @ottodv (self.status.split(' ',1)[0], self.bytes_sent)

$ python --version
Python 2.7.13

Update: trying to run with python-3.5 i got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

[maxidev]

python --version Python 2.7.12

[maxidev]

Count me in if we have to test something on my box, I can post results, versions, etc.

[gidgreen]

Thanks, so seems very specific to Python 2.7.12/13. We'll look into it and let you know if we need any more info.

[maxidev]

What version do you recommend? I will try to manually change Python version until we can fix it.

[ottodv]

I also tried it on CentOS with Python version 2.7.5. Same Error. See my earlier comment from March 29.

[maxidev]

We've managed to temporary solve this issue by making some small changes on Python libraries. This are the changes.

/usr/lib/python2.7/wsgiref/simple_server.py

Class ServerHandler

class ServerHandler(SimpleHandler):

    server_software = software_version

    def close(self):
        try:
            # if self.status is not defined, pass hardcoded status
            status = "200"
            if self.status:
               status = self.status.split(' ', 1)[0]
            self.request_handler.log_request(
                status, self.bytes_sent
            )
        finally:
            SimpleHandler.close(self)

/usr/lib/python2.7/wsgiref/handles.py

Class BaseHandler

method "finish_response"

def finish_response(self):
        try:
            if not self.result_is_file() or not self.sendfile():
                for data in self.result:
                    # self.write(data)
                    # convert data to str
                    self.write(str(data)) 
                self.finish_content()
        finally:
            self.close()

method "client_is_modern"

def client_is_modern(self):
        """True if client can accept status and headers"""
        # check if self.environ is defined
        if not self.environ:
            return False
        return self.environ['SERVER_PROTOCOL'].upper() != 'HTTP/0.9'

/cc @gidgreen

[reiven]

@maxidev maybe you can switch the fix to a PR?

[maxidev]

@reiven I can't because this was done on Python libraries instead of Multichain-explorer code.

[ssls18years]

i found same errors. i try search by address, txid, blocknumber...,but only blocknumber is success, others will cause page crash.

i installed latest explore and 100009 multichain

after i modify simple_server.py & handles.py, search works correctly.

But, this is finally solution?
