I'm new to ubuntu and web scraping with selenium. Recently I ran into problems in running my python web scraping scripts on a Ubuntu server. I accessed the ubuntu server remotely via my terminal.
When I tried to run the code on Ubuntu server but got the error below:
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally
(unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
(The process started from chrome location /usr/bin/google-chrome is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)
(Driver info: chromedriver=2.41.578700 (2f1ed5f9343c13f73144538f15c00b370eda6706),platform=Linux 4.15.0-74-generic x86_64)
I've already installed chrome, chrome driver and selenium on the server. When I checked the location of Chrome on the server, it returns:
google-chrome: /usr/bin/google-chrome
When I tried to run google chrome via /usr/bin/google-chrome, it returns the error below:
~$ [0715/183414.382630:ERROR:nacl_helper_linux.cc(308)] NaCl helper process running without a sandbox!
Most likely you need to configure your SUID sandbox correctly
I suppose the problem is there is no display for the browser? How can I solve this problem ?
Thank you very much.
