I have been trying to run Riak TS 1.3.0 on OS X El Capitan 10.11.4, but every time I run the start command I get this error:

Humbertos-MBP:bin Humberto$ ./riak start 
vm.args needs to have a -name parameter.
  -sname is not supported.

I tried with the rest of the commands, but the same result :(

However, I also tried on Ubunto and works perfectly

Any suggestions about my error on Mac?

Best regards, Humberto

  • Humberto, did you make any changes to your Riak.conf file? I am running TS 1.3.0 on Yosemite (10.10.5) fine but I didn't make any changes to my Riak.conf file. – Craig Jul 01 '16 at 11:14
  • Hi, Craig. No I didn't do any change. I just download the .tar from basho's web site. I'm trying to run it on El capitan (10.11.4). I also tried with Riak KV and that one runs OK. – Humberto Jul 01 '16 at 11:43
  • Humberto, I just installed 1.3.0 on OS X 10.11.5 (El Capitan) and started it without any issues. My installation is a single node, downloaded from http://s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.basho.com/riak_ts/1.3/1.3.0/osx/10.8/riak-ts-1.3.0-OSX-x86_64.tar.gz, unzipped to my drive, and then I did a bin/riak start without making any configuration changes. Based on this I am guessing you made a changes to the default configuration. – Craig Jul 01 '16 at 11:44
  • Btw, I'm trying Riak TS 1.3.0 (Open Source) – Humberto Jul 01 '16 at 11:51
  • Craig, I don't know what could be the problem, I just tried with your link and I got the same error :( – Humberto Jul 01 '16 at 11:56
  • Humberto, can you check your riak-ts-1.3.0/log directory to see if there is anything interesting in your error or crash logs? If you find more information in the logs please post to the original question above. – Craig Jul 01 '16 at 11:57

You could try changing what it says... From memory -sname should be fine but try replacing -sname with -name in the vm.args file (will be somewhere as part of the release, just do a find on it).

EDIT:

According to riak documentation it should actually be riak.conf you change, it also has no mention of an -sname as a valid parameter. 2 things here:

  1. Check you have no vm.args file overriding something
  2. Change -sname to -name in your riak.conf if it exists...
