Status 404 Gazetteer not running in Elasticsearch #66

Closed drtfraser closed 5 years ago

drtfraser commented 5 years ago

I cannot get mordecai working on my Windows 10 machine. I have followed the instructions on the Github page but I seem to have a problem with step 3.

I can get a docker container running using: docker run -d -p 127.0.0.1:9200:9200 -v //c/Users/my_path/geonames_index/:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data elasticsearch:5.5.2

I verify that it is running using: docker container ls

However, in Python (3.5.0) when I then try: from mordecai import Geoparser geo = Geoparser() geo.geoparse("I traveled from Oxford to Ottawa.")

I get this response: GET http://localhost:9200/geonames/_count [status:404 request:0.159s] ... ConnectionError: [WinError for instructions on setting up Geonames/Elasticsearch] Mordecai needs access to the Geonames/Elasticsearch gazetteer to function.: 'See https://github.com/openeventdata/mordecai#installation-and-requirements'

I have taken a look at some of the other issues you have answered and see that my issue is similar to this one. I have tried creating a elasticsearch.yaml file, and running the docker command: docker run -d -p 127.0.0.1:9200:9200 -e ES_JAVA_OPTS="-Xms8g -Xmx8g" -e "bootstrap.memory_lock=true" -v //c/Users/my_path/geonames_index:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data -v //c/Users/my_path/elasticsearch.yaml:/usr/share/elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.yml elasticsearch:5.5.2 as is suggested in that thread. But when I do so, docker container ls indicates that no container is running.

Update: The problem was my docker permissions. By Opening Docker Desktop, navigating to the Shared Drives tab, and checking the drives I wanted to share, applying changes, restarting my machine, and then re-checking drives to share, and applying changes the issue was resolved and I was able to use original docker command docker run -d -p 127.0.0.1:9200:9200 -v //c/Users/my_path/geonames_index/:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data elasticsearch:5.5.2 to use the package. Feel free to close this issue.
