Unable to start Taby server on Windows 10

[ramaraju3]

I'm getting this error whenever I click on external connection, "RServe: An error has occurred during connection to localhost:9004: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it ExtSvc: Couldn't connect to server"
I tried all possible ways, I'm using Python 2.7.
Kindly advice on this.

Hi,
Were you able to install Anaconda successfully? Since there are two screenshots I am confused.

If you're able to install, did you try starting up TabPy after you activated the environment. You will see a startup.bat in tabpy_server folder under your Anaconda's site-packages. You need to run startup.bat before trying to connect from Tableau.

Thanks,

Bora

Thanks Bora for getting back to me.
Yes, I've Anaconda installed. This is the error that I'm getting when i try to run startup.bat or startup.py.

Thank you,
Rama

The issue is that your active conda environment is Tableau-Python-Server but tabpy is installed in the default environment. If it were under Tableau-Python-Server the path in the screenshot would include Anaconda2\envs\Tableau-Python-Server\lib\site-packages\tabpy_server

Given you already have the environment created, following the installation steps listed here and then starting it should solve the problem.

I tried it but I was not able to create the environment. I'm a noob here, so, this is quite confusing for me.

Is there any way i can start everything from beginning?

Looks like Anaconda didn't install properly due to an issue with Anaconda installer.

I would suggest uninstalling Anaconda you currently have, downloading the latest installer from their website, installing it again and then following the manual install instructions listed in my earlier message.

I am resolving the issue at this point since there isn't anything I can do to help. I updated TabPy recently such that it can run without Anaconda. You can try to install it without Anaconda as well if you like by simply doing

pip install tabpy-server

in your command line. You don't even have to download a zip file from GitHub.

It will also work on both Python 2.7 and 3.x now.

Thanks,

Bora

I am working on Windows 10 and have installed Anaconda and also have the tabpy-server and tabpy-client packages successfully installed on my Tableau-Python-Server environment.

Please let me know where I am wrong? Is there some minor error coz I have already tried redoing the whole process twice.

Thank you!

I had solved it earlier but did not post it. Thanks anyway! 😀
