what can I do with this error: Getaadrinfo Failed.

[Maurice Waka]

When trying to custom pack and download my app as .exe, I get this error:

[Errno socket error] [Errno 11004] getaddrinfo failed 

How can I resolve it?

[Massimo Di Pierro]

Please submit a bug report. Do you have any more detail about the error and the OS you are using to build and to run the exe code?

[Maurice Waka]

This is the error I got.

Kind regards

This seems like a temporary error where your DNS wasn't working so it couldn't download the web2py_win from web2py.com which is the first step to make an exe with your application.

So looking at ERROR.py you're also having problems checking for a new version in admin. I think you have some kind of proxy involved that is creating problems. Maybe a work VPN or something like that.

I thought I could download my app(what ia have developed) as .exe

You can, however the way this works is:

1 - Download the web2py windows executable version

2 - Put your Application in it

3 - Change routes.py to make your application the default one.

You are failing at the first step because urllib is not being able to get the ip address of web2py.com.

Can you test something for me, open a python interpreter. There type:

import socket

socket.getaddrinfo('web2py.com', 80)

Does this work?

To be clear, this is a DNS problem.

I will get you the info soon. 

Am not at my 'IT' desk at the moment.

Thanks !!
