Error communicating with FME Server host localhost

Apparently, there is more in the error message. It’s hard to read white on almost white, so here is a pink version: 

Hi Lena, 

I hope you’ve managed to make some progress on this! Since the only recent change preceding this error was that Python library install, that would be my first suspect - it is possible for a library installed into the system python (or one that modifies the PYTHONHOME variable) to interfere with the interpreter used by Flow engines, leading to engine crashes and intermittent connection issues. I’d try temporarily removing that library to see if the error disappears.

To dive a bit deeper, I would look at fmeprocessmonitorengine.log for engines dropping unexpectedly or python-related crash messages. On the off chance that this is a port conflict unrelated to the python install, it would also be worthwhile checking the queue logs for memurai binding errors. 

If none of this yields any progress, we can always tackle this in a support ticket!

Best,

Carl
