Why cant it decode the starting byte? what starting byte is that?
The error message means that somebody is trying to decode a byte string
into Unicode, and using the utf-8 codec for it. Only certain sequences
are legal in utf-8, and the first byte of a character may not be 0xb6.
So it gives an error. The question is where does this string come from.
Well, the message shows the source line from metrites.py:
host = socket.gethostbyaddr( os.environ['REMOTE_ADDR'] )[0] or 'UnResolved'
So the most likely candidate is the string in the environment named
"REMOTE_ADDR" Can you display that string? it should look like
"11.24.32.4"
or some other valid IP address.
I'm assuming Python 2.7. You should specify the python version when
starting a new thread, as we (or at least I) cannot keep track of what
version everyone's running.
