Hello,

I’m fairly new to Kali and completely new to Dradis. I couldn’t find a solution by searching, so I thought I’d ask here. I’m trying to set Dradis up on a WLS instance of Kali.

I went through the install steps [here](https://dradis.com/ce/documentation/install_kali.html) and then [here](https://dradis.com/ce/documentation/install_git.html).

Everything seemed to go fine. But when I run the last command to set up the app: **bundle exec rails server**

I get this:

```
 => Booting Unicorn
 => Rails 5.1.6 application starting in development on http://localhost:3000
 => Run `rails server -h` for more startup options
 E, [2018-07-27T13:25:42.051664 #17203] ERROR -- : [::1]:3000 {:tcp_defer_accept=>1, :accept_filter=>"httpready", :backlog=>1024, :tcp_nopush=>nil, :tcp_nodelay=>true}: Protocol not available - setsockopt(2) (Errno::ENOPROTOOPT)

```

Followed by a number of socket commands, ending in this:

```
 I, [2018-07-27T13:25:42.054428 #17203] INFO -- : listening on addr=[::1]:3000 fd=14

 E, [2018-07-27T13:25:42.075288 #17215] ERROR -- : listen loop error: Invalid argument - accept (Errno::EINVAL)

```

It then displays an infinite loop of unicorn socket commands and that same “listen loop error”.

Any suggestions?

Hey @Philomorph, thanks for reaching out! I’m completely sure what’s happening just yet but we’ll get this sorted! First, could you try running Dradis on a different port?

```auto
$ bundle exec rails server -p 1234

```

If that doesn’t do the trick, can you give me more details on what version of Kali you’re running? I tested using the latest version of Dradis CE on Kali rolling but that may not be replicating your setup well. Keep me posted!

I get the same result ☹

I’m running the Windows Linux Subsystem (WLS) version of [Kali](https://www.kali.org/news/kali-linux-in-the-windows-app-store/), available from Offensive Security via the Windows Store.

lsb\_release returns:

> No LSB modules are available.  
> Distributor ID: Kali  
> Description: Kali GNU/Linux Rolling  
> Release: kali-rolling  
> Codename: kali-rolling

Hi @Philomorph. Unfortunately, we can’t replicate this issue in Kali. I’m guessing there is something with the WLS version of Kali that’s not working with the app server here. Have you tried a different approach with virtualizing a Kali Linux instance, say using VirtualBox/VMWare with the latest Kali image?

Hey @Philomorph, sorry about the delay! I’m currently fighting with a Windows error (imagine that!) to try to get the OffSec Windows Store version downloaded and running on my local system. While I work on that, want to try a possible fix?
