High Sierra, 5.0.0, problem starting Couchbase

Couchbase Server
1

I started with a fresh install of High Sierra (formatted drive, fresh install)

I have tried several different versions including the 5.0.0 build.

In all cases, in the error.log I am getting:
[ns_server:error,2017-09-29T09:39:40.441-04:00,ns_1@127.0.0.1:wait_link_to_couchdb_node<0.196.0>:ns_server_nodes_sup:do_wait_link_to_couchdb_node:163]ns_couchdb_port(<0.195.0>) died with reason {abnormal,139}

And I am seeing the following repeated in the babysitter.log file:

I do not have firewall enabled, and I am able to run other things that open ports on localhost.

Any ideas?

Could you report the exact build number of 5.0.0 you’re using? (see VERSION.txt under the /Applications/Couchbase Server.app directory.)

There’s a couple of known issues on High Sierra (https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/MB-25380, https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/MB-24741) but they should both be expected in the most recent builds / the final GA release.

3

Should have mentioned - anything less than 5.0 GA (i.e. 4.6.3) is not supported on High Sierra.

4

I can’t find a version file, but about Couchbase server says: Version 5.0.0-3217

5

Found it…

cat Resources/couchbase-core/Version.txt
5.0.0-3217

6

I have also tried the following with the same result:

cat /Applications/Couchbase\ Server.app/Contents/Resources/couchbase-core/VERSION.txt
5.0.0-2873

7

Ok, so you’re running one of the earlier 5.0.0 Betas. The final 5.0.0 release has both the aforementioned MBs fixed.

As an aside, the fact you are seeing mismatching versions is pretty odd - maybe some remnants of a partial easier install?

8

I downloaded the two marked beta and beta 2 from the downloads page. I did not have one version reporting two different versions. I uninstalled one and installed the other. If there is a newer version, how do we get it? The downloads page doesn’t specify versions.

9

I don’t think there’s a newer Beta. 5.0 will be GAing very soon; I suggest you wait for that.

10

That works for me, I restored a time machine to macOS 10.12 on Friday so that I could run 4.6 again and continue working while we sorted this out.

Thank you for your time.
