console: Failed to create input stream (504)

[Michael Bütow]

Hi,

I have Eclipse Helios installed with PyDev 2.10.2011052613 .
When I try to open a PyDev console, I get:

import sys; print('%s %s' % (sys.executable or sys.platform, sys.version))
Failed to create input stream: Server returned HTTP response code: 504 for URL: http://127.0.0.1:35136>>>

I do not get an interactive console.
My configured Python interpreter is Python 2.5.2 installed as /usr/bin/python.

Any ideas as to what might be going wrong and how I can troubleshoot it further?

Humm, 504 means timeout… Do you have some error in your error log?

Cheers,

Fabio

Hello Fabio,

Unfortunately, I cannot find anything in the Error Log there is nothing related to these occurrences.

The odd thing is, I think I could open the console on another machine with more recent OS (Debian Squeeze/x86_64 instead of Fedora 10/i386), slightly newer Python version (2.6.x) but same Helios and PyDev plugin versions.

Except for the fact that I can't open the console on this machine, I have not noticed any other problems with PyDev.

For now, I will work around this problem, and hopefully I can update this machine's OS soon.
Then I will try again to see if the problem disappears.

Regards,
Michael

Have you checked if some firewall may be blocking the communication?
