CherryPy error

[kevincberry]

I'm encountering a CherryPy error when attempting to authenticate with FitBit's api

Is my suspicion that the problem is somewhere outside the fitbit-googlefit app correct? Should I be looking at my server configuration instead of the app to find the problem?

@kevincberry , Are you trying to run the authentication scripts on a headless server?

I would advise to do the authentication on a system with a display and transfer the credentials manually to your server if you prefer to use it from there.

[kevincberry]

Yes, I'm running it on a Digital Ocean server running Ubuntu.

Should I not be doing that?

@kevincberry , I run it on a Digital Ocean droplet too - in fact I have setup a cron job to sync daily for a couple of weeks now.

However, the one-time authentication requires a browser with a display - hence locally and transfer the credentials.

I'm relatively new to working within a command line environment. Can you
give some more guidance on how to do this in a local environment?

It works similar to how you set it up on Digital ocean. Just follow the Setup instructions on your local PC.

If you are using Windows, may be try this inside a Virtual box with Linux VM.

Great, I've got sorted it out now.

Thank you!

Good to know it's working for you 😄
