Hi All, I have followed the instructions as simple as they are in the docs, but when I tried to start the monetdb create <path to my dbfarm folder>, it cries that it cannot find conrol port (and I have to suply it with -p along with -h and -P parameters). I am only trying to get things running on localhost - do I need to somehow setup the mserver5 daemon? No mention of that in the tutorial. Thank you very much for help. Best regards, Jiri Nadvornik
Have you started a database first with monetdbd? Check out this page: https://www.monetdb.org/Documentation/monetdbd Hope it helps. Jennie
Hi Jiří, My guesses: 1) network misconfiguration, hostname versus localhost etc. 2) running monetdbd as a regular user and not monetdb or root. Radovan On 02/26/2015 02:59 PM, Jiří Nádvorník wrote:

Hi Radovan, Aha! So from the installation instructions last line (adding my user to the monetDB group) I expected to run the server from my user account. That seems not the case? The server must be run from root? That is not *that much* secure.. Jiri N. 2015-02-26 15:05 GMT+01:00 Radovan Bičiště <radovan.biciste@ceosdata.com>:
Hi Jiri, yes you can run the monetdbd daemon and thus the monetdb server (mserver5) as user. It might indeed be a network misconfiguration, e.g., hostname or IP lookup go wrong. Could you please share the EXACT command you run AND error message you get? Thanks! Stefan ----- Original Message -----

Yes, that should be the first thing to run. System misconfiguration could well be the cause here, as Radovan says. But do not use root to run the server.

Hi, So my exact command and error message are as follows: caucau@ubuntu:~$ monetdb create /home/caucau/data/monetDB_data monetdb: cannot find a control socket, use -h and/or -p I followed exactly the instructions of installation for Ubuntu/debian. My localhost is normal (127.0.0.1). Thanks for further answers, Jiri Nadvornik
Hi Jiří, Notice the difference between (the deamon) monetdbd and monetdb. First, you should create a dbfarm using monetdbd, e.g., # monetdbd create /home/caucau/data/monetDB_data then start it # monetdbd start /home/caucau/data/monetDB_data then create a database # monetdb create demo && monetdb release demo && monetdb start demo and then connect to it # mclient -d demo Cheers, Kostis On 02/26/2015 05:08 PM, Jiří Nádvorník wrote:

Hi Kostis, Yes that's it! From my quick reading I have supposed the daemon and application to be controlled by the same command. That little 'd' at the end can be easily overlooked by newcomers. Thank you very much for clarifying this, I will read carefully every single letter from now on :). Cheers, Jiri
