uwhois module not installed.

[giray]

I'm getting an error

uwhois module not installed.

I've installed uwhoisd, but I cannot find a uwhois module ...

pip3 list | grep -i whois
cymruwhois (1.0)
uwhoisd (0.0.7)
whois (0.7)

[Rafiot]

What is the output of:

pip install -U git+https://github.com/Rafiot/uwhoisd.git@testing#egg=uwhois&subdirectory=client

We had a problem is you use an old version of pip, so maybe you want to try the following before reinstalling uwhoisd client:

pip install -U pip

[giray]

So I removed the OS installed pip, and have

pip 8.1.2 from /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages (python 3.4)

however, I get the following error now when I query uwhoisd

2016-09-07 10:28:07,115 INFO:uwhoisd    Querying whois.verisign-grs.com about google.com

any ideas?

(for the records, uwhoisd is a bit messy right now, because I did many changes and I'm currently working on getting everything cleanly merged upstream)

Did you install and run uwhosd from https://github.com/Rafiot/uwhoisd.git in the branch testing?

[giray]

Hi,

I got it from https://github.com/Rafiot/uwhoisd.git and it seems to be the testing branch indeed.

[Rafiot]

... yeah, that makes sense, this branch if broken, I didn't try again after the last changes, sorry for that.

I'll try to fix it later today, but I'm not sure I'll have time...

EDIT: never mind, I just did a very fast & untested dirty fix(https://github.com/Rafiot/uwhoisd/commit/3f16d4261f3cd6ffe8876b4a68d3733e270dc4e2), that should do the trick. If it doesn't, I'll need more time and will hopefully be able to do it by the end of the week.

Hi,

Any news related to this ? I receive the same error when trying to install misp-module:

sudo pip3 install -I -r REQUIREMENTS
(git+https://github.com/Rafiot/uwhoisd.git@testing#egg=uwhois&subdirectory=client)

and then:

misp-modules - INFO - MISP modules dns imported
uwhois module not installed.

Any news to it?

[Rafiot]

Not really, I need to look at it.

hi i am installing MISP on CentOS 7 and passing the misp modules, i also have the same problem. How can I solve that?

You can skip the installation of uwhois. All modules are optional and this is only for the whois module.

[jarandas]

Ok thanks. But when I execute the test of install i get this error python3.6': free(): invalid pointer: 0x00007f7746c5ac80:

misp-modules]# ${SUDO_WWW} ${PATH_TO_MISP}/venv/bin/misp-modules -l 127.0.0.1 -s &

Fresh install CentOS 7 (update) Remi or SCL version of python 3.6 Install guide: https://misp.github.io/MISP/INSTALL.rhel7/

Hey jarandas, I ran into the same error today and ran across this issue in my search for a fix, but it turns out uwhois is not actually the culprit. That error is printed when that particular module gracefully fails to load, but some of the other modules are not so graceful in their failure.

It was the 'qrcode', 'ocr_enrich', and 'pdf_enrich' modules causing the invalid pointer and preventing the service from starting in my case. I essentially worked my way to that conclusion by process of elimination loading a few modules at a time until I identified the failing ones. I simply skipped loading those 3 and everything is working fine now. Hopefully that might help you and whoever comes along looking for this issue next.

[jarandas]

Thank you logan-micklewright for the information. I will apply the changes you tell me. Regards!!
