You can, I've done this, you have to modify the /etc/riak/vm.args to include and start your application (assuming your application has a start/0) function.
So if you have a foo app, you can add something like -pa /usr/lib/erlang/lib/foo-0.0.0/ebin -s foo_app Then if foo_app.erl has something like -module(foo_app). -export([start/0]). -behaviour(application). -export([start/2,stop/1]). start() -> application:start (foo). start(_,_) -> foo_sup:start_link(). stop (_) -> ok. That should do it. -Anthony On Wed, Jun 08, 2011 at 11:49:28AM -0400, Evans, Matthew wrote: > Hi List, > > I'm new to riak, and I am thinking of using riak to store log file / > statistics information from a client application.
