Why cant it decode the starting byte? what starting byte is that?
The error message means that somebody is trying to decode a byte string
into Unicode, and using the utf-8 codec for it. Only certain sequences
are legal in utf-8, and the first byte of a character may not be 0xb6.
So it gives an error. The question is where does this string come from.
Well, the message shows the source line from metrites.py:
host = socket.gethostbyaddr( os.environ['REMOTE_ADDR'] )[0] or
'UnResolved'
So the most likely candidate is the string in the environment named
"REMOTE_ADDR" Can you display that string? it should look like
"11.24.32.4"
or some other valid IP address.
I'm assuming Python 2.7. You should specify the python version when
starting a new thread, as we (or at least I) cannot keep track of what
version everyone's running.
Ima using Python v3.3.2 Dave
The host = socket.gethostbyaddr( os.environ['REMOTE_ADDR'] )[0] or
'UnResolved' should not have give an error since i explicityl tell it
that if it cannot resolve dns the ip to hostname to set it as "unresolved"
That's not true. The 'or' doesn't get executed until after the
gethostbyaddr() call has returned. So if something's wrong with that
call, and it throws an exception, the 'or "unresolved"' won't help.
So how do you propose to write the above statement?
I was under the i impression then if for any reason the gethostbyaddr
failed then or's argument will be returned instead.
The error appear ONLY when i CloudFlare superhost.gr
If i pause tthe domain form CloudFlare then my website loads properly.
I don't really know what CloudFlare is, and have no idea what 'pausing
the form' will do. But since it has something to do with dns, perhaps
it's returning an invalid host name, one that isn't encoded in utf-8.
I think so too.
