Hi Hector, I successfully created the admin user after fixing the riak/app.config to use the proper backend, but I am still struggling to configure the system to work properly.
What I need to know is what IPs should I be using for each component when all components are running on a single machine? Ie, it's a single node at this stage. I also want to be able to access the riak-cs services (the riak-cs-control UI etc) from a web browser on another machine, create buckets, store files etc. The documentation is very confusing on this point. This seems like it would be a common first use case for people testing RiakCS out, and I can't figure out how to make it work. Do I need to use SSL? What is the difference between using 127.0.0.1 and the external IP on the machine in the config files? Sometimes using the external IP seems to make the system non-functional. It's also confusing as to when host names (eg s3.blah.com) are the right choice and when IPs are. A clear bit of documentation showing how to set up this particular use case would be very helpful! Thanks. -- Guy Morton Web Development Manager Brüel & Kjær EMS ________________________________________ From: Hector Castro [hec...@basho.com] Sent: Tuesday, 25 June 2013 12:17 AM To: Guy Morton Cc: Riak Users Mailing List [riak-users@lists.basho.com] Subject: Re: Can't create first user On Mon, Jun 24, 2013 at 1:33 AM, Guy Morton <guy.mor...@bksv.com> wrote: > Hi people.

I am still stuck with the same issue. The 3 most common causes of Riak CS installation issues I've seen so far: * Riak's `app.config` is not configured with the proper backend [0] * `anonymous_user_creation` is not set to `true` in the Riak CS `app.config` [1] * `stanchion_ip` is misconfigured in either the Riak CS or Stanchion `app.config` [2] [3] My recommendation would be to check these, and after restarting all of the services, test that they're up using: sudo riak ping sudo riak-cs ping sudo stanchion ping [0] http://docs.basho.com/riakcs/latest/cookbooks/configuration/Configuring-Riak/#Setting-up-the-Proper-Riak-Backend [1] http://docs.basho.com/riakcs/latest/cookbooks/configuration/Configuring-Riak-CS/#Specifying-the-Admin-User [2] http://docs.basho.com/riakcs/latest/cookbooks/configuration/Configuring-Riak-CS/#Specifying-the-Stanchion-Node [3] http://docs.basho.com/riakcs/latest/cookbooks/configuration/Configuring-Stanchion/#Specifying-the-Stanchion-IP-Address-and-Port > Help, please? > > # curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST > http://localhost:8080/riak-cs/user -v --data '{"email":"guy.mor...@bksv.com", > "name":"guy"}' > * About to connect() to localhost port 8080 (#0) > * Trying 127.0.0.1... connected > * Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 8080 (#0) >> POST /riak-cs/user HTTP/1.1 >> User-Agent: curl/7.21.0 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.21.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8o >> zlib/1.2.3.4 libidn/1.15 libssh2/1.2.6 >> Host: localhost:8080 >> Accept: */* >> Content-Type: application/json >> Content-Length: 45 >> > < HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable > < Vary: Accept > < Server: Riak CS > < Location: http://localhost:8080/riak-cs/user > < Date: Mon, 24 Jun 2013 05:21:13 GMT > < Content-Type: application/xml > < Content-Length: 192 > < > * Connection #0 to host localhost left intact > * Closing connection #0 > <?xml version="1.0" > encoding="UTF-8"?><Error><Code>ServiceUnavailable</Code><Message>Please > reduce your request > rate.</Message><Resource>/riak-cs/user</Resource><RequestId></RequestId></Error> > > -- > Guy Morton > Web Development Manager > Brüel & Kjær EMS > > This e-mail is confidential and may be read, copied and used only by the > intended recipient.
