thanks @uluQulu, I appreciate your help as always, Çox sağ ol!

I have a 500 Mb/s glassfibre connection, that should be enough right? 😆

try to use python3

imkimchi on 5 Sep 2018

I have already python3 installed now, still not working..

aku6640 on 6 Sep 2018

are you using proxy ?

converge on 6 Sep 2018

I am using a raspberry pi for it to run

aku6640 on 6 Sep 2018

anyone ideas?
@uluQulu you still here bro?

aku6640 on 7 Sep 2018

maybe check your internet condition?

imkimchi on 8 Sep 2018

Hi @aku6640
First make sure your web browser of choice and its webdriver are up-to-date and compatible.
_Same for selenium package_.

How frequently you do get it?

daily | weekly | hourly | etc.

That is an issue with a wide scope and can be occurred out of several reasons and it needs a compact diagnosis to suggest a total solution.
That's why provide any feedback you think can help on this matter.

Cheers 😁

so I got it everyday, and last days the script wouldn't even run because of this error.
I have upgradede selenium, chromium and downloaded geckodriver into the /usr/local/bin folder.

the script is now running again and I hope it keeps working because all the time it stops in a few hours because of the 111 error. Hope this helped and that it not occurs anymore, thanks!

what's happening here?

aku6640 on 9 Sep 2018

@aku6640

It is the same error:
_[Errno 111] Connection refused_

Earlier in your older python 2.7.? it was raised by socket.error with the _errno_ of 111 and now it raises ConnectionRefusedError in your new python (_introduced after python 3.3_).

I will try to produce a solution with your feedback in my free time, keep up giving more 🎉 details

_Although this issue has to be solved, I have a suggestion for you - get a healthy bandwith whether it is a proxy or local area connection_.

Cheers 😁

hi @uluQulu, did you manage to find the problem? still getting this error. Sometimes when the script starts and sometimes when in the middle of running the script..

aku6640 on 15 Sep 2018

You're welcome @aku6640
I still got not time to offer a solution but soon I will, hopefully 🎊

Cheers 😁

uluQulu on 16 Sep 2018

This error has still not been fixed, anyone knows a solution? @timgrossmann maybe you?

aku6640 on 24 Sep 2018

I found that the Connection refused error could be because of this:
Connection refused means one of three things.

Wrong IP address
Right IP, wrong port number
Right IP, right port number, no listener running on that port

What do I have to do and where can I check this to have this in the right settings?

aku6640 on 27 Sep 2018

Hi @aku6640
First of all you must get a healthy connection.
_You will get lesser connection refused errors as you strengthen your connection health_.

Let's start to solve it.
Can you quickly tell the full python version (_e.g. 2.7.14_) of your system so that I can produce a solution?
_If you have different systems with different pythons having that problem, provide all of their full python versions_.

Cheers 🙂

I have completely reinstalled the raspberry, so I did everything again for the instapy

now I am getting this error:

Not anymore the connection refused error but this one.
I already used this tutorial for installation: https://github.com/timgrossmann/InstaPy/blob/master/docs/How_to_Raspberry.md

I also did headless_browser=True in the instapy constructor

Can you help me with this?

aku6640 on 1 Oct 2018

@aku6640 how were you able to get chromedriver version 2.36? mine keeps retrieving 2.40

andiskim on 4 Oct 2018

hi @andiskim I tried it with the beta version, but also one version earlier. I think that's the 2.36

aku6640 on 5 Oct 2018

Having the same error with latest chromedriver. Wasn't happening before updating the repo (I had a 2 month old version)

jeffarese on 9 Oct 2018

BTW, it happens both on headless_browser True and False
