How could I fix it?

Hi @victorspivak,

I don’t think the issue is with the locale name, thats just a warning. The real issue seems to be that not all processes are up:

2019-09-24 02:55:14,096 ERROR: At least one master or tserver process is down.
^^^ Encountered errors ^^^

Could you please post the output of ./bin/yb-ctl status?

victorspivak · October 12, 2019, 12:55am

I did not expect that I will get a reply after 2 weeks. It looks like the yugabyte community is very passive

Based on your suggestion, I ignored the locale error (it was confusing) and found the problem - I have running the redis server and it uses the same port that yugabyte. I stopped the redis and cluster started w/o problems.

Thank you for your help
Victor

Hi @victorspivak,

Please accept our sincerest apologies . We are usually very responsive, and are a very active community. Somehow this fell through the cracks. @dorian_yugabyte has just joined the team to make sure we don’t have such gaps going forward.

I am happy to hear you were able to get going with YugabyteDB. Is there anything else we can do to help with your use case (we’ll definitely try to respond quickly this time!) Also - you can get more realtime answers in our community slack channel.

victorspivak · October 12, 2019, 7:05am

I tried to join slack and I got:

This invite link is no longer active.

I try to run ./bin/ysqlsh but I am getting: Password for user yugabyte:
I could not find a default password in your documentation.

I was going to evaluate yugabyte vs. cockroachdb for our use cases. It looks like that cockroachdb is much more mature.

kannan · October 12, 2019, 7:20am

hi @victorspivak:

I tried Join yugabyte-db on Slack - Community Inviter link and it seems to be working fine. Can you share what link you tried? Will ask internally as well to see if anyone is aware of the problem.

stevebang · October 12, 2019, 7:22am

Sorry about the Slack link — something must be amiss. The password was added yesterday for the yugabyte user. And it’s “yugabyte”.

Steve

victorspivak · October 12, 2019, 7:23am

On the https://docs.yugabyte.com/ page on the right top I click Join us on slack. The link is Join yugabyte-db on Slack - Community Inviter

If you are enabling auth, we had an issue in the 2.0.0 release, that has been addressed in the 2.0.1 release.

And as @stevebang said, the username/password is yugabyte/yugabyte

For example:

wget https://downloads.yugabyte.com/yugabyte-2.0.1.0-linux.tar.gz
tar xvf yugabyte-2.0.1.0-linux.tar.gz
cd yugabyte-2.0.1.0
./bin/post_install.sh

and then:

# clean slate:
$ ./bin/yb-ctl destroy
Destroying cluster.

# create a cluster with auth enabled:
$ ~/yugabyte-2.0.1.0/bin/yb-ctl start --tserver_flags="ysql_enable_auth=true"
Creating cluster.
Waiting for cluster to be ready.

Regarding the slack link, when I click that, I get:

Are you not getting the same?

victorspivak · October 12, 2019, 7:43am

I got the same error on my ubuntu 18.04 - BTW, I could access other slack channels on my ubuntu. When I tried your link from windows everything was fine and I was able to connect. I’ve joined the slack channel. Weird behavior.

victorspivak · October 12, 2019, 8:05am

I have created cluster using:
./bin/yb-ctl --rf 3 create --tserver_flags=“ysql_enable_auth=true”

There is now a note on the ysqlsh CLI page (https://docs.yugabyte.com/latest/admin/ysqlsh/) mentioning the new change.

sid.choudhury · October 12, 2019, 7:22pm

@victorspivak looks like you are using the 2.0.0 release and not the 2.0.1 release. for the 2.0.0 release, the behavior you are seeing is exactly the reason why we had to add a default password for the default yugabyte user in the 2.0.1 release. The github issue #2465 captures the issue in 2.0.0.

for your current 2.0.0 cluster you can either set a password for yugabyte user (by starting cluster without flag first, setting a password and then re-starting with flag) or simply start the cluster without the --tserver_flags=“ysql_enable_auth=true” setting which will remove the password prompt everywhere.
OR you can start using the 2.0.1 release by wget https://downloads.yugabyte.com/yugabyte-2.0.1.0-linux.tar.gz where the default password will be used whenever you use the ysql_enable_auth flag.

pls accept our sincere apologies for the issues you faced, we will strive to do better here on.
