Cannot Connect to Chrome Driver

[loopyogden]

I am running Kali 64bit in a VM. When I try to execute: python fbstalker1.py xxx

I get the following error....

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "fbstalker1.py", line 59, in
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chromeOptions)

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/chrome/webdriver.py", line 59, in init self.service.start()

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/chrome/service.py", line 74, in start

raise WebDriverException("Can not connect to the ChromeDriver")
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'Can not connect to the ChromeDriver'

Since I am running 64 bit I installed the 64 bit Chrome browser and the 64 bit ChromeDriver. Your instructions only mention the 32 bit ChromeDriver. Any suggestions?

I was not able to download Chrome from:

wget http://95.31.35.30/chrome/pool/main/g/google-chrome-stable/google-chrome-stable_27.0.1453.93-r200836_amd64.deb

Link appears to be dead. Just realized I am using a newer version of Chrome and wanted to make you aware in case this would cause issues with ChromeDriver.

One of my colleagues is getting this error as well. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce it, so it's quite hard to try and debug.
He's using:
Chrome browser v55, 64bit
chromedriver 2.27
selenium 3.0.2

Any idea what might be the issue?

Thanks,
