I am having an error while trying to attach to the quorum node, using the following command :--

geth attach --datadir new-node-1/geth.ipc

then I get this error

Unable to attach to remote geth: dial unix new-node-1/geth.ipc: connect: no such file or directory

I tried to locate path of geth.ipc but nothing was there. I guess the file is not being created.

any suggestions guys..

You should be running the command like this (without --datadir): geth attach new-node-1/geth.ipc

If that still doesn't work then make sure you have the correct path for the ipc file. Is new-node-1 definitely the same path that was specified to the quorum node when it was started (i.e. with with --datadir new-node-1).

If the path is correct but geth.ipc file doesn't exist then the node hasn't managed to start up. Check the log file to see if there were any errors.

  • Yes , @Satpal thank you for explaining, I checked the raft node was not up.. and when I checked the node.log file for error. It shows the following . 'Incorrect Usage. flag provided but not defined: -raft – rest17 Sep 11 '20 at 13:06
  • That implies you are running the upstream (original Ethereum) `geth` executable, instead of the quorum executable. Check your path is set up so that you pick up Quorum `geth` before any ethereum executable. You can check this by running `geth version`. The result of this must contain a line with the text `Quorum Version`. – Satpal Sandhu Sep 14 '20 at 07:33

Try out below:

geth attach http://127.0.0.1:8545

It worked for me
