Issue
I am receiving the following error when I start ecu.test / trace.check.
Error message
XMLRPC-API-Listener ERROR: Exception in thread XMLRPC-API-Listener: Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\obj\Windows-Release\37amd64_Release\msi_python\zip_amd64\threading.py", line 917, in _bootstrap_inner File "tts\core\api\xmlRpcApi\Xmlrpc.py", line 425, in run File "tts\core\api\xmlRpcApi\Xmlrpc.py", line 383, in __init__ File "D:\obj\Windows-Release\37amd64_Release\msi_python\zip_amd64\server.py", line 604, in __init__ File "D:\obj\Windows-Release\37amd64_Release\msi_python\zip_amd64\socketserver.py", line 452, in __init__ File "D:\obj\Windows-Release\37amd64_Release\msi_python\zip_amd64\socketserver.py", line 466, in server_bind OSError: [WinError 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions
Solution
ecu.test / trace.check offers interfaces to work remotely controlled.
The default port for ecu.test is 8000 and for trace.check 8001.
In this state, ecu.test / trace.check is still running, but you cannot access the API from outside.
If said port is in use by another program, another port number can be configured by manually creating a registry value:
For this purpose, a DWORD Value xmlrpcPort stating the desired port number needs to be created at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\TraceTronic\ECU-TEST <version>
If you want to get rid of the error message, please make sure that no other software is blocking these ports.
Close the respective software and restart your ecu.test / trace.check.
