Describe the problem

Describe the problem clearly here. Be sure to convey here why it's a bug in
the sample code, and whether it occurred locally or on the server (CloudML Engine,
Google Dataflow)
I run the code and the command the same as the guide line, to train the DNN model on the server -- Google CloudML Engine. But the error occur as below: "AttributeError: 'SymbolDatabase' object has no attribute 'RegisterServiceDescriptor'"
Is there anything wrong?

What worked for me was manually specifying the version as it wasn't the case that the version of protobuf being used in the interpreter was the same on the server. I'm not sure if you have specified the version explicitly or not but start there.

Hi, @parthmishra Parthmishra, could you tell me how to manually specifying the version of protobuf used on the server?

[parthmishra]

In your setup.py just list the version number afterwards i.e. protobuf==3.4.0 instead of protobuf (or change your requirements.txt if you're using that instead) If you did that and it's still not working, I'm not totally sure.

[luckyapplehead]

It works for me. Thanks Parthmishra:)
