socket.error:[errno 99] cannot assign requested address and namespace in python
(6 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I'm trying to run a flask app on a remote server, so I can access it from other computers. The server has a public IP and I configured the flask to run on that IP. But when I run the script I get the following traceback
Note: I've removed the public IP from the traceback and my code.
* Running on **public ip**
Traceback (most recent call last):

#app.route('/myroute', methods=['POST'])

app.run(host='public IP',port=5000)
You can only directly bind to an IP address that the server has been configured for; behind a router running Network Address Translation (NAT) your internal IP address will be different.
Either bind directly to that internal IP address, or use '0.0.0.0' to listen on all interfaces. You may still need to configure the router to forward a specific port to your internal server.
The IP you want to bind a socket to must be directly available on an interface of the machine. This seems not be the case here.
If you're behind a NAT: use port-forwarding
If you're using a VPN and the VPN adapter of the server is not always up, try using "0.0.0.0" as an address. Beware: It will listen on all interfaces available. Create firewall rules to block access via interfaces you don't want to listen to when using this.

I've written this code and then ran it via the CMD. However when I ran the code this occurred.

Now I asked my professor but he's unfamiliar with the issue himself. I searched stackoverflow and I tried to disable my firewall but that didn't seem to help. Any suggestions? Is it an administration issue perhaps? My original code is below.
from bottle import route, run, static_file
#route('/')
def index():
return static_file('webpage_01.html' , root= 'C:/Users/Owner/Desktop/BottleWebApp')
run(host='localhost', port = 80, debug=True)
Does this problem go away when you try port 8000 instead of 80?
You're trying to bind to port 80. I don't know Windows, but on Linux your code would fail because port 80 (like all ports below 1024) is privileged--only root can bind to them. That's why you'll see most tutorials and web framework defaults use a high port number, typically 8000 or 8080.

I have developed a flask based app which is running successfully at my local machine / network.
I deployed it to an AWS EC2 instance. Started it like this:
flask run --host <private ip within AWS>
but when I tried to access an implemented API through Postman, I got following error in Postman console:
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED <IPv4 Public IP within AWS>
Noticed that it might be due to the fact that flask app typically runs on port 5000, however the EC2 has inbound rule of type http bound to port 80.
So I changed my flask code to:
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = create_app()
app.run(host='<private ip within AWS>', port=80)
And tried to run it like this in AWS ec2 instance:
python3 apiapp.py
However I got following stack trace while trying to run the app:

Am I missing anything obvious over here?
I'm doing a code to send emails automatically using Python and a local server (where I work). I don't know why this error happens.
I've tried to connect the server using commands from module smtplib -> smtplib.SMTP_SSL(hot, port) and smtplib.SMTP(hot,port) but both doesn't work.
import smtplib
server = smtplib.SMTP('IPfromCompanyServer')

Make sure you're getting to Mail server IP and port number right. And some clients like Gmail don't allow you to send mails automatically without disabling the secure mail transfer feature.
Additionally you could add this piece of code to your program before you log in.
try:
self.smtp.ehlo()
self.smtp.starttls()
self.smtp.ehlo
except:
print "No TLS "
#login here
And maybe this link outta help out a little:

Before you mark this as a duplicate; I've read the other threads as well. I'm trying to send an email as simple as using the mail() function in php. I simply tried the example from the official python docs. But when I try to connect with the localhost on my linux machine I get:
>>> import smtplib
>>> smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
Traceback (most recent call last):

I thought this example didn't need an email server to run (just like the php mail() function doesn't need an email-server to run).
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong or how I can get this to send an email? All tips are welcome!
The php mail() function does need a relay to send messages. It defaults to sendmail on Linux machines.
On Windows you have to give it the address of a SMTP server.
In order for any program to send email, you need to connect to a SMTP server. There is no running around that.
The next script runs fine on my mac. When I try to run it on my WebHosting (bluehost) I'm getting socket.error: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable. Any idea how can I fix it?
#!/usr/bin/python
# Required header that tells the browser how to render the text.
print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n";

mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com')
mail.login('user#gmail.com', 'password')
mail.list()
# Out: list of "folders" aka labels in gmail.
mail.select("inbox") # connect to inbox.
print mail.list()

Their support isn't helpful at all.
Can it be port related or maybe SSL?
On bluehosts help pages they mention that outgoing connnections are restricted, so ther problem isn't with your program. The only way of getting outbound connections to be allowed seems to pay for it.
