Flask, Windows, IIS, Plotly-Dash. Error Occured While reading WSGI handler

Dash Python
1

I’m hoping you can help me with errors that I’m getting with Flask in an attempt to deploy plotly-dash on a Windows server.

I’ve set up Flask using the following guide, verbatim, except the location of my website within the wwwroot folder: Flask on IIS

My error isnt specifically with Dash, but I’m hoping that with the expertise available on this forum, you can probably help or at least point me in the right direction, as follows:

Error occurred while reading WSGI handler:

I’ve been googling and tweaking my settings for hours and hours, any ideas?

Server is running Windows 2008 R2 with IIS 7.5

Hi @roastbeeef,

Did you check out the following post?

Uninstallling ipython worked for me…

Thats worked for me, thanks! I’ve now got another error though…
Error occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File “C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wfastcgi.py”, line 847, in main result = handler(record.params, response.start)
TypeError: ‘Dash’ object is not callable StdOut: StdErr: C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\plotly\tools.py:103: UserWarning: Looks like you don’t have ‘read-write’ permission to your ‘home’ (’~’) directory or to our ‘~/.plotly’ directory.
That means plotly’s python api can’t setup local configuration files. No problem though! You’ll just have to sign-in using ‘plotly.plotly.sign_in()’. For help with that: ‘help(plotly.plotly.sign_in)’. Questions? Visit https://support.plot.ly

Is this just relating to windows permissions?

thanks,
Matt

Hi @roastbeeef,

The following:

"That means plotly’s python api can’t setup local configuration files. You'll just have to sign-in using ‘plotly.plotly.sign_in()’. For help with that: ‘help(.plotly.sign_in)’."

Suggests to me that you might not have your dash running locally. Have you done the following:

app.stylesheets.serve_locally=True
app.scripts.serve_locally=True

Which is from the followig link:

Also, if that doesnt work, see chriddy p’s answer here:
