Okay, without the grep it is showing that Indigo is running. For some reason the 'grep' command on your Mac is not functioning correctly. I've never seen that before and it might be a sign of a more global problem with your OS install.

Regardless, next question:

On your Indigo Server Mac (MBP), choose the Indigo 4->Start Local Server menu item. Which radio button is selected: Run client/server as single app, or Start and connect to Indigo Server on this computer?

Any other ideas ?

Answer my question above.

I chose:

Start and connect to Indigo server on this computer.

Do you think I should do a backup and fresh install of the o.s.


Not having other issues. some issues with disk permissions. Which I like to run and repair once a month or so.


So not sure how my O.S is holding out

Okay there is a path problem with my debug script, indigowebstart (my buglet). Try these two commands instead of the single command:

Code: Select all

cd /Library/Application\ Support/Perceptive\ Automation/Indigo\ 4/IndigoWebServer/devhelpers/
./indigowebstart

JimmysPro:devhelpers JimmysPro$
JimmysPro:devhelpers JimmysPro$

Tried both:

Looks like python is failing to start on your system. Try just this in the Terminal:

Code: Select all

python

and copy/paste the results.

JimmysPro:~ JimmysPro$ python
JimmysPro:~ JimmysPro$ python
JimmysPro:~ JimmysPro$

Nothing happens.

So Python is not running it would appear.


How Can I fix that ?

Reinstall it I expect. Hmm. i know this is the programm that talks to iphone.

Python is installed by the Mac OS. Given that both it and the 'grep' command are failing, your OS appears to be corrupt (or has bad file permissions). I believe you need to reinstall it. I don't know if you will have to do a clean re-install or not.
