Getting a 404 on /wd/hub/session when I try to connect to selenium grid remotely via Python

I can see two remotes under the console but when I try to connect remotely and execute something it fails with a 404.

from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Remote(
   command_executor='http://ec2-184-72-129-183.compute-1.amazonaws.com:4444/wd/hub',
   desired_capabilities={'browserName': 'firefox'})
browser.get('http://www.google.com')
browser.quit()

Throws this exception

Traceback (most recent call last):

    desired_capabilities={'browserName': 'firefox'})

Try running selenium hub using_

-port 5555

And then configure clients with also:

-port 5555

I think is an issue with another software using port 4444 or selenium is not starting in that port correctly.

This doesn't appear to be a python error. It seems like the machine you have your selenium server on is refusing requests. In the error message, you have an <a href="http://jetty.mortbay.org/">Powered by Jetty://</a> which got me thinking that it is somehow related to Jetty.

I don't know much about Jetty, but you might want to look there for your answers. One possible problem is that Jetty is also running on port 4444, but I can't say for sure, because I don't know how Jetty works.

EDIT

I should also add that I tried your setup on my local machine, to one of my servers (that doesn't have Jetty on it) and it worked perfectly fine.
