I've installed ArangoDB on an Ubuntu server. I can connect with arangosh but not able to connect from the web interface.

Tried so many things like in conf files :

tcp://0.0.0.0:8529

tcp://my.server.ipaddress:8529

tcp://myservern.ndd:8529

Always getting : ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

It was actually because the port 8529 was not opened so I opened it with :

sudo ufw allow 8529

And don't forget to add your domain instead of localhost IP on arangod.conf : 

endpoint = tcp://your.dev.ndd:8529

The reason is the tcp://. Its intended if you use arangosh as a client to ArangoDB or via a driver.

If you use your browser, you should use regular http:// - so in your case: 

http://my.server.ip.address:8529/

or...

http://myserver.ndd:8529

You should also make sure that no firewall is blocking the connection (e.g. port not open), and revalidate 

netstat -alnpt

that arangod really listens to 0.0.0.0:8529

  • I modified arangod conf file with ip address and also domain name but I am always getting : 2016-05-18T09:12:31Z [22227] FATAL invalid endpoint 'http://X.X.X.X:8529' * database version check failed, you need to run 'upgrade'? – Adeline Mani-Rajan May 18 '16 at 09:15
  • start arangodb appending the --upgrade parameter to upgrade your schema to your new version; after that you should be able to start regulary. – dothebart May 18 '16 at 09:20
  • Still getting sudo arangodb restart --upgrade * Starting arango database server arangod 2016-05-18T09:24:14Z [22558] FATAL invalid endpoint '[http://X.X.X.X:8529](http://X.X.X.X:8529)' * database version check failed, you need to run 'upgrade'? – Adeline Mani-Rajan May 18 '16 at 09:25
  • most probably the init scripts accept `sudo arangodb upgrade` to start the arangod with `--upgrade` – dothebart May 18 '16 at 09:29
  • sudo arangodb upgrade [sudo] password for forge: sudo: arangodb: command not found – Adeline Mani-Rajan May 18 '16 at 10:30
  • Ok it's sudo service arangodb upgrade : 2016-05-18T10:36:50Z [23560] WARNING flock on lockfile '/var/lib/arangodb/LOCK' failed: forbidden 2016-05-18T10:36:50Z [23560] ERROR database is locked, please check the lock file '/var/lib/arangodb/LOCK' 2016-05-18T10:36:50Z [23560] FATAL cannot start server: database directory is locked – Adeline Mani-Rajan May 18 '16 at 10:38
  • You can only run upgrade if no arangod is currently running with that database. Try `sudo /etc/init.d/arangod stop; sudo /etc/init.d/arangod upgrade; sudo /etc/init.d/arangod start` – dothebart May 18 '16 at 10:56
