Drb load limit

Ruby

I am trying to get a simple drb server/client to work, but I am getting

DRb::DRbConnError: too large packet 50331648
and can’t figure out why. Anyone have any ideas? my code follows

server

class SentenceWrapper
def random(ind)
return ‘hi’
end
end
DRb::DRbServer.default_load_limit ‘90214400’
DRb.start_service(“druby://:7777”, SentenceWrapper.new, {:load_limit =>
‘90214400’})
puts DRb.uri
DRb.thread.join

client

irb(main):023:0> ro = DRbObject.new(nil, ‘druby://localhost:7777’)
=> #<DRb::DRbObject:0x46d254 @ref=nil, @uri=“druby://localhost:7777”>
irb(main):024:0> ro.random(1)
DRb::DRbConnError: too large packet 50331648

Use a number, rather than a string, here^^^^^

DRb.start_service(“druby://:7777”, SentenceWrapper.new, {:load_limit =>
‘90214400’})

and here^^^

now it just hangs there and does nothing :frowning:

ok, for some reason it doesn’t work if I run the server on my laptop,
but I works just fine if the server is run elsewhere. Thanks for the
help :slight_smile:
