When does this happen?

IF RuntimeError during process bootstrapping when using tensor_parallel_size > 1 with the multiprocessing (mp) distributed executor backend.

How others solved it

THEN Set the environment variable VLLM_WORKER_MULTIPROC_METHOD=fork before starting vLLM, or use the default Ray backend by not setting distributed_executor_backend='mp'.

export VLLM_WORKER_MULTIPROC_METHOD=fork
python your_vllm_script.py
