I'm having problems with version 1.2.2 of the launcher for Mac. When
I hit run, the status icon is the yellow clock, and the Run/Stop/
Browse/SDK Console buttons are greyed out. My app is running and
there's nothing interesting in the log.

I have to quit the launcher to stop my app, and reopen it to start it
again.


Current log:
*** Running dev_appserver with the following flags:
--admin_console_server= --port=8080 --allow_skipped_files
Python command: /usr/bin/python2.5


Earlier, I was getting this message upon the first page load:
Can't open zipfile /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c9-
py2.5.egg

I deleted that file and the message went away. I still can't get the
yellow clock to go away.

I've also noticed that the Deploy button doesn't actually deploy in
this case (when the icon is yellow). The login sheet comes down, and
it acts as if it's uploading; however, the logs do not change and the
updates are not propagated to the cloud.

I have the same problem, with the helloworld app from the getting
started tutorial.

I noticed that the app works if I run "dev_appserver helloworld" from
the command line, though with warnings about not being able to read
the datastore file. I saw somewhere else that the datastore warning
goes away as soon as you store something, but of course the helloworld
app doesn't store anything.

The server seems to be working fine, but the Launcher UI isn't
properly communicating with it. It doesn't realize that dev_appserver
has started.

Hi Brenton and Phil,

This sounds a bit like the following issue:

http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=1446

Could I see the contents of the launcher log? Also, what do you see if
you just try the command line dev_appserver?

Thank you,

Jeff

Thanks Jeff. I'm not sure that's my issue. Everything works fine for
me, but the Launcher UI never updates to green (hence, many Launcher
buttons are disabled or broken).

I just posted a screenshot to that bug.

I also tried dev_appserver from the command line. The Launcher stays
grey (not even yellow).

I am getting this error while starting the app. From the UI, it all stays greyed out for ever.

Is it possible that another program is already using port 8080? What happens if you direct your browser to localhost:8080?

Any idea what is causing this?

I'm having same problems with version 1.8.9 of the python launcher for Mac sdk .  When 
I hit run, the status icon is the yellow clock, and the Run/Stop/ 
Browse/SDK Console buttons are greyed out. 

log console give the message:
*** Running dev_appserver with the following flags:
    --skip_sdk_update_check=yes --port=9080 --admin_port=8001
Python command: /usr/bin/python2.7

browser :localhost :9080 gives 

Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to localhost:9080

OS :Mac OS X  10.6.8

localhost without port number give the message  "it works" 
( I think from Apache )

When you connect to localhost without a port number, do you see any report or log entry from the development server? Also, do you have any other web servers installed on your computer?
