I installed the node and the right libsodium for ubuntu 16.04
I installed everything in the home directory of a new user named aeternity, with all the rights to this user
Unfortunaly, when I type “./epoch start” in the bin/ directory, it exits with no feedback, no error message, nothing in the log directory and no dump file.
What’s the problem here ? Can’t the epoch program gives at least a feedback ?
Tried the compiling way as well. Same result, “./bin/epoch start” doesn’t start the daemon and exits with no error message. Tried to check this shell script out, but it’s kinda long.
I’ve never seen the epoch node to not write any logs, are sure that’s the case?
Try deleting all the files in log directory and start it again, if that still not produce any logs try to run the node with strace e.g. strace -f bin/epoch start and posting the output to a gist.github.com (or alternative service).
I might be wrong but I think I’ve seen this issue already. In the strace output I see: mknod("/tmp/erl_pipes/epoch@localhost/erlang.pipe.1.r", S_IFIFO|0600) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
This could happen if you tried to run a node as root user before. Please check the permissions and ownership of /tmp/erl_pipes/ and it’s subdirectories.
Even easier, try deleting the directory (sudo rm -rf /tmp/erl_pipes/ and then start the node.
Yep. Was better initiating the install from a non-privileged user from the start. This should be a big warning at the top of the tutorial, especially since using a privileged user led me to the previous behavior.
