Hi,

I followed the instructions here: http://www.couchbase.org/wiki/display/membase/Building+Membase+on+Linux+...

And got membase built and running. Looking at the console as the server starts, I don't see any errors. However, I'm running into some weird issues when I try using it in any way:

1. Can't use telnet...

telnet localhost 11211
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

netstat -an | grep LISTEN tells me port 11211 is Listening

2. Using the web console

http://localhost:8091/index.html

Will open the console just fine, except it just prompts me for a login/password. I haven't set any of those yet, so... that's a problem...

Any ideas? Chances are I'm doing something (or several things) stupid, but I'm not too sure what.

Thanks

1.6.5 seems to work just fine. I was able to go through the console wizard and then telnet into 11211

Seems like there's something wrong with the building. Can you post the output from a clean make?

Also, can you post the output of that netstat command, it would appear that either nothing or something wrong is listening on port 11211.

Thanks, we'll take a look at those outputs.

Can you post the output of "netstat -anp | grep "11211""? That will show what process is actually listening on that port.

Vasken, is it possible to use the pre-packaged binaries that we provide to ensure that Membase is able to work properly on your system?

Hi,

netstat -anp | grep "11211"
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:11211 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2224/moxi
tcp6 0 0 :::11211 :::* LISTEN 2224/moxi

Hmmm... Installing the .deb failed. The logs I get when re-installing it are:

Well it appears that Moxi is running on that machine. Can you confirm when the service is completely stopped that Moxi goes away? If not, I presume that Moxi is running on it's own and would then conflict with the one that Membase wants to start up.

As far as the install error goes, I've asked one of our engineers to take a look.

Can you do a completely clean install (deleting/moving all data from /opt/membase, /var/opt/membase, /etc/opt/membase)?

I want to ensure that this works for you at a base-level and then we can investigate any other issues you may be having.

Thanks

Hi, adding onto what Perry mentioned, it also looks like dpkg thought there was an existing membase 1.7.0 already installed on that node.

Please also do a 'dpkg -P membase-server' so that that part is also clean.

Cheers,
Steve
