Impossible to connect the database #4

Closed ticruz38 closed 9 years ago

ticruz38 commented 9 years ago

Hi, I tried to use the example, I cloned the repo and run npm install everything is installed without error but when I start my node server impossible to open a connection with rethinkDb I got these errors:

Could not open a connection to initialize the database Could not connect to localhost:28015. connect ECONNREFUSED

what's wrong? thanks Thibaut

Which version of rethinkdb are you using, and where is it set up?

ticruz38 commented 9 years ago

it is 1.16.3 version when I run rethinkdb in a terminal I have that path: Initializing directory /Users/whoami/rethinkdb_data

@ticruz38 could you post the full output of rethinkdb? It should print some information about which ports it's binding to. Does connecting to the web console ( http://localhost:8080 ) work?

ticruz38 commented 9 years ago

yes it works here is the output Running rethinkdb 1.16.3 (CLANG 4.2 (clang-425.0.28))... Running on Darwin 14.1.0 x86_64 Loading data from directory /Users/belenduchene/rethinkdb_data warn: Cache size does not leave much memory for server and query overhead (available memory: 945 MB). warn: Cache size is very low and may impact performance. Listening for intracluster connections on port 29015 Listening for client driver connections on port 28015 Listening for administrative HTTP connections on port 8080 Listening on addresses: 127.0.0.1, ::1 To fully expose RethinkDB on the network, bind to all addresses by running rethinkdb with the --bind all command line option.

Thanks for the output. Hmm I assume the node.js server is running on the same server as the database?

Could you also post the output of ifconfig? Maybe there is something special about your network configuration.

ticruz38 commented 9 years ago

my node server is on port 3000. what do you mean with the ifconfig output?

coffeemug commented 9 years ago

Are you accessing RethinkDB through localhost? Does localhost:8080 work in the browser? Also, could you try starting RethinkDB with --bind all?

ifconfig is a command you can type in the console -- could you paste its output?

sorry my bad as a beginner I thought rethinkdb would start with the node driver, I need to start it from the terminal and then run 'node app.js' right? thank you guys and sorry for my mistake

Yes, sorry for the confusion.

We'll improve the README file to make the required steps clearer.
