Well that's interesting - I looked at the logs and saw this is the announcement it is trying to fetch -

2016-01-13 18:31 (INFO) -- announcefetch.py:271 - Fetching: https://bitcoinarmory.com/announce.txt?osvar=centos+linux&os=lin&ver=0.93.3&id=d4cdcaba

When I grabbed that with wget and looked, it appears to grab a wordpress press including crap like googleapi javascript. What the hell is it doing that for?

Here's the log -

http://awel.domblogger.net/7/libre/armorylog.txt

When you navigate to that URL, you are redirected to the bitcoinarmory.com homepage. If you get rid of the parameters (the ? and everything after it) you get announce.txt as Armory is expecting. The reason Armory isn't running for you is that the program is expecting to receive a Bitcoin Signed Message, but is receiving the Armory homepage.

Okay I am trying with the --skip-announce-check option to avoid that single point of failure (really dumb IMHO to make startup depend upon a specific URL responding in a specific way - what problem are they trying to solve Huh

) and that is no longer an issue, but now it seems to have issues with creating a socket to the bitcoind service.
