I am doing a on prem setup of openwhisk using local couchdb installation on ubuntu 16.04 for which I downloaded the code from the github. I have followed all the steps of the setup, after the build, I have to run various playbooks when is run the below playbook with the below command ansible-playbook -i environments/local openwhisk.yml I get error "error": "The server is currently unavailable (because it is overloaded or down for maintenance).", "code": 4

when I check I found it is coming while executing installRouteMgmt.sh from /openwhisk/ansible/roles/routemgmt/files the line in the script which is throwing error is 

enter code here`echo Installing routemgmt package.
$WSK_CLI -i -v --apihost "$APIHOST" package update --auth "$AUTH"  --shared no "$NAMESPACE/routemgmt" \
-a description "This experimental package manages the gateway API configuration." \
-p gwUser "$GW_USER" \
-p gwPwd "$GW_PWD" \
-p gwUrl "$GW_HOST" \
-p gwUrlV2 "$GW_HOST_V2"

where 

APIHOST=172.17.0.1
AUTH=path to auth.whisk.system
WSK_CLI= wsk path
NAMESPACE= whisk.system

    The problem can be multifold: Is CouchDB up? Is it reachable by the Controller? You might want to join slack for easier debugging http://slack.openwhisk.org/ – markusthoemmes May 04 '17 at 09:25
  • Yes counchDB is up. I dint know ho to chek if that is reachable via controller. I am also adding the header response •resp header info Resp Headers { "Connection": [ "keep-alive" ], "Content-Length": [ "117" ], "Content-Type": [ "application/json; charset=UTF-8" ], "Date": [ "Thu, 04 May 2017 08:14:09 GMT" ], "Server": [ "nginx/1.11.13" ] } – Katiyman May 04 '17 at 10:36
  • `grep db.host whisk.properties` if that value is not resolvable from inside the controller container, then the database is not accessible. – user6062970 May 04 '17 at 18:04
  • @user6062970 I have a ques as to how I check if that is resolvable from the controller container .. will it be by going into the controller container and then doing a ping from there?. Sorry if it is quite a naïve ques. – Katiyman May 05 '17 at 06:24
  • @user6062970 in my whisk.properties the db.host value is localhost – Katiyman May 05 '17 at 06:27

This error comes when the DB host value is not resolvable from the controller container or when the DB which the controller trying to connect to is not created in the couch DB. Mine was the second case once __subjects db was there, it was able to run
