Trtis Unable to run model

I am trying to run a client library using the param custom backend via grpc request.
However - I am getting this error - “error: unable to run model: [ 0] INTERNAL - GRPC client failed: 14: Socket closed”
I have a model repo containing a config file and a version folder with the param library.
Does someone know why this error occurs?
Trying to get the server status (curl 0.0.0.0:8001/api/status) results is given in a binary format.
How can I get them in text format?
I Will appreciate any help.
