Hi,

I can successful start Cuckoo, as below:

However attempting to run cuckoo web results in the following error:

For reference, my .cuckoo folder is located at C:\Users\User\.cuckoo.

Thanks.

[jbremer]

Just double checking: what happens if you run cuckoo web from the same directory (i.e., C:\Windows\System32)? That shouldn't really matter, but if cuckoo works, cuckoo web should too - it's the same executable / script.

[Cuckoo0000]

Hi, same error:

C:\Windows\system32>cuckoo web
c:\python27\python.exe: can't open file 'C:\Python27\Scripts\cuckoo': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

[jbremer]

And if you try that in the same terminal where cuckoo ran successfully? I.e., by killing cuckoo and starting cuckoo web?

[jbremer]

I just installed 2.0.1 in a 64-bit Windows 7 VM & Python 2.7.6 and both cuckoo.exe and cuckoo.exe web work just fine. Do you have any more information for me to work with?

[Cuckoo0000]

Hi, I'm running Windows 10 64bit, with 32bit Python 2.7.13.

I've just had a play around, and I managed to get the web interface to run by renaming cuckoo.exe to cuckoo and running the following:

C:\Users\User>python C:\Python27\Scripts\cuckoo web
Performing system checks...

System check identified no issues (0 silenced).
April 21, 2017 - 09:20:36
Django version 1.8.4, using settings 'cuckoo.web.web.settings'
Starting development server at http://localhost:8000/

Hope this helps.

[jbremer]

That's even stranger, hehe. What kind of file is C:\Python27\Scripts\cuckoo? Is it even an exe file or is it in fact a Python file? I guess I'll have to setup a Windows VM with Python 2.7.13..

[Cuckoo0000]

It really is. It's an exe file.

Thanks.

[jbremer]

@Cuckoo0000 did you have any progress with this issue?

[Waffles-2]

Can confirm, I am also having this same issue.

Running cuckoo works fine but cuckoo web fails with c:\python27\python.exe: can't open file 'C:\Python27\Scripts\cuckoo': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

[jbremer]

This is what I'm getting in my 64-bit Windows 7 VM with Python 2.7.6 and Cuckoo 2.0.2, so, seems to work here. I'll check out Python 2.7.13 later..

Ok awesome, I will just downgrade python and test it out.

Thanks.

[Cuckoo0000]

Hi, I've downgraded to Python 2.7.6 (32 bit) and I'm still getting the same issue.

[jbremer]

Hmm, based on information provided in #1520 I think this issue might be related to Cuckoo doing os.chdir() for cuckoo web. I can get rid of that (hopefully smoothly) and debug with @Waffles-2 to see if that does the job. Give me a bit of time though ;-)

[Cuckoo0000]

Okay awesome, thanks! If you need any further information from me let me know.

[jbremer]

Didn't have much luck debugging this issue with @Waffles-2 yet, sorry :-(

[jbremer]

Thanks to @botherder and those involved here this issue has now been resolved properly! To be pushed in a future alpha & stable release of Cuckoo.

[Waffles-2]

Great work @botherder and @jbremer! I will be sure to test it out on my Windows machine once it is released, but for now Linux is king!

[bicyclemicycle]

Has this been resolved yet? I am still having this issue as well. Here's my setup:
Windows 7 x64 SP1
Python 2.7.13 x86
cuckoo 2.0.3

[jbremer]

Yes, but you'll have to install the latest alpha/development version; pip install cuckoo==2.0.4a2. Please let me know if that does the trick (it should).

[avihay1]

I found a fix with little help from procmon
take "cuckoo-script.py" and rename it to "cuckoo" then place it in
C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\Cuckoo-2.0.3-py2.7.eggcuckoo\web

[jbremer]

What cuckoo-script.py file would that be?

[Cuckoo0000]

Just wanted to say thanks for fixing this!

[jbremer]

You're welcome, @Cuckoo0000 :)

[avihay1]

script created at C:\Python27\Scripts when installing cuckoo
the content:

!C:\Python27\python.exe

EASY-INSTALL-ENTRY-SCRIPT: 'Cuckoo==2.0.3','console_scripts','cuckoo'

__requires__ = 'Cuckoo==2.0.3'
import re
import sys
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point

if __name__ == '__main__':
sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script.pyw?|.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
sys.exit(
load_entry_point('Cuckoo==2.0.3', 'console_scripts', 'cuckoo')()
)

installing pip install cuckoo==2.0.4a2 didn't do the trick for me

[jbremer]

@avihay1 can you provide us with full logs? thanks.

[Mato-Z]

Hello, I have the same problem. When I run web: ./cuckoo web runserver 0.0.0.0:PORT I get error: /root/.cuckoo/venv/bin/python2: can't open file './cuckoo': [Errno 2] No such file or directory I use Debian 8.9 x64, Cuckoo version 2.0.3 and Python 2.7.9. Can you help me please?

[doomedraven]

it's not ./ just cuckoo

[jbremer]

If you upgrade to one of our latest alpha releases (i.e., >=2.0.4a2 - and soon to be 2.0.4), then this issue has been resolved. It was fixed in 898b49ce6e59484800b5d6806aa161eb5a17bb04.

[Mato-Z]

Ok, thanks for info, so I hope that new release which will solved several issues will be released soon...

[jthe13]

hello I have the same problem too.. Every time I running cuckoo web then I always have an error c:\python27\python.exe: can't open file 'C:\Python27\Scripts\cuckoo': [Errno 2] No such file or directory 2 I install python 2.7.13 and cuckoo 2.0.4.4 where host is Windows 10 64 bit and guest is Windows 7 32bit in virtualbox by the way.. really need your help.. thanks

[cuckoobot]

@jthe13 and you're sure you're running the 2.0.4.4 version? Because as mentioned above it was resolved in there.

[jthe13]

[doria90]

Hi all,
I'm having this same issue. made sure I have the latest update of Cuckoo installed.
When running cuckoo web --help, I'm able to get the help screen for cuckoo web and when applying cuckoo web help i'm able to get Django's help screen..
however, when applying cuckoo web runserver -H .. -p .. i get the same error as others have stated.

any help please?

[doria90]

OK I was able to get around it:
I copied the "cuckoo-script.py" from C:\Python27\Scripts to C:\Python27\Scripts and called it "cuckoo".
that's it..

[jaapjaa]

@doria90 Where did you find cuckoo-script.py? I have no file on my machine with that name:(

[doria90]

@jaapjaa It's in C:\Python27\Scripts.
If your'e having issues, try to copy cuckoo.exe from C:\Python27\Scripts to that same location with the name "cuckoo".. I've read just now that this might work as well

[jaapjaa]

@doria90 thanks for your response! Its not working unfortunately:P
When I rename the file cuckoo.exe to cuckoo, Cuckoo is not even working more:P
When I have both files I stil remain with the same issue

[doria90]

@jaapjaa and are you sure you have the latest ver of Cuckoo?

[jaapjaa]

@doria90 Cuckoo Sandbox 2.0.4
But I`ve made a post on the forum so I hope someone will help me!
Thanks a lot for your time!

[doria90]

@jaapjaa sure np!
I've had to debug it manually to figure out what's the issue, all I can say is that the commit that was supposed to fix this issue, 898b49c, didn't work for me.

[maynardflies]

I am having the same problem on 2.0.5, copying cuckoo.exe to cuckoo doesn't work, since it says "Error: No such command "runserver"." I can't find any file called cuckoo-script.py in my virtualenv or host environment. Any traction on this? It seems like cuckoo.exe is supposed to know what "runserver" means, but it doesn't

[maynardflies]

OK I managed to work around this with 2 operations

1. copy cuckoo.exe to cuckoo in your venv's scripts folder (or root env)
2. runserver doesn't seem to do anything, instead run "cuckoo -d web ...args..."

[jbremer]

Yep, exactly. Closing issue.

[NewSystemGames]

Still having this issue in cuckoo 2.0.7 .... :/

[doomedraven]

issue without log isn't an issue :P

[NewSystemGames]

-I installed Mongodb, Mysql, Apache2 on WSL
-Updated conf files on .cuckoo
-Installed cuckoo on Windows 10

cuckoo would work, but not cuckoo web.

I tried one method i found here: https://sec.xiaomi.com/article/45

"On Python27 Scripts folder, create a copy of cuckoo-script.py in same path and rename it to cuckoo"

After doing so i get another error:

Installing this thing is huge puzzle for me

[NewSystemGames]

tried making cuckoo.exe to cuckoo only on python27/Scripts and i get following error:

File "C:\Python27\Scripts\cuckoo", line 1 SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\x90' in file C:\Python27\Scripts\cuckoo on line 1, but no encoding declared;

[SparkyNZL]

Cuckoo will not start while it finds vulnerable dependencies, either fix them, or disable the detection (fix them).

The error of not being found is probably a red herring.

Cheers

That's just a warning, i don't think thats what causing the not found issue. I disabled vulnerability detection in conf file but error still same.

[DirWangK]

I also encountered this problem, did not find a solution, very painful

[Asichurter]

I met the same issue described as
"d:\python2\python2.exe: can't open file 'D:\Python2\Scripts\cuckoo': [Errno 2] No such file or directory"
when I called "cuckoo web" but "cuckoo" was working well and I got the folllowing message:

Hi, just had a lot of issues with the set-up on Windows 10 with Windows 7 VM. Has taken much head scratching to change all the adapter information and the like. I will try to log and contribute later. What 'worked' for the webserver was to create a mongo db database named cuckoo, then copy Python27\Scriptscuckoo.exe and change the name of the copied cuckoo.exe to cuckoo. It runs but not all fully tested yet.

Maybe you can try like this：
(Run as administrator) C:\Python27\Scripts>mklink cuckoo cuckoo-script.py
