Automated Install Script for Ubuntu 12.04: nc: connect to localhost port 9160 (tcp) failed: Connection refused
Cassandra has failed to start. On Ubuntu 12.04 using the automated installation script this is due to an inadequate stack size in OpenJDK for Cassandra. Confirm by running cassandra -f. If you get The stack size specified is too small, Specify at least 160k, then open /etc/cassandra/cassandra-env.sh and modify Line 154 from JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -Xss128k" to JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -Xss160k" and sudo /etc/init.d/cassandra start.
$ sudo tail -f /var/log/syslogThis is where all of the services' logs are sent and should give you a stack trace if something's breaking.
| Error | Resolution |
|---|---|
| ImportError: No module named wrapped |
You need to compile the Cython modules.
$ cd ~/reddit/r2
$ make |
| ImportError: No module named rails.asset_tag | setup.py installed the wrong version of webhelpers. You must downgrade it.
$ sudo easy_install "webhelpers==0.6.4" |
| (OperationalError) FATAL: password authentication failed for user "reddit" |
The postgres user "reddit" has the wrong password. You should recreate the postgres user "reddit" with password "reddit".
reddit$ su postgres
postgres$ dropuser reddit
postgres$ createuser -P reddit |
No, using Amazon S3 is optional. The default install executed by the install script uses a local nginx to host thumbnails and subreddit images. See the media_provider option in the configuration and the r2/lib/providers/media directory in the source.
By default, there are no accounts. Create an account and add it to the admins line in example.ini. If you populate the database using inject_test_data.py it will generate an account called reddit with password password which is in the list of admins by default.
Most browsers won't deal with cookies from a domain that doesn't contain dots. For example, http://localhost will not work, while http://reddit.local or http://127.0.0.1 will. Make sure you update the .ini file accordingly!
By default, the link to the form for subreddit creation is hidden for accounts newer than 30 days. This was done because a large number of new users were confused about what creating a reddit meant and would use the form to try and post links. The form can be accessed at any time by going to /subreddits/create. It's also possible to configure the minimum age an account must have to be able to see the link by tweaking the min_membership_create_community property. Setting this value to 0 will allow all users to see the link.
update_reddits needs to be run. See Cron Jobs for more information on what this does. To run it manually:
sudo start reddit-job-update_reddits Check that domain in the ini file matches the domain that you're accessing your reddit clone with.
The dropdown is only rendered if the current user is subscribed to more than sr_dropdown_threshold subreddits (see example.ini.) The default threshold is 15 subreddits.
reddit used to use Solr for its search needs, but switched to using IndexTank in July 2010. They currently use Amazon CloudSearch. /u/kemitche and has provided instructions on how to set up a clone to use your own instance. There are more detailed instructions provided by /u/gianlucaneri
