Deployd won't start under MacOS X ML 10.8.1

[dseredinov]

Hey guys!

As mentioned in twitter (@DmitrySeredinov), here is a console log:

[dals@Dals-Mac-mini deployd-projects]$ DEBUG=* dpd create foo-world -d
starting deployd v0.6.7...
  mongod starting mongod +0ms
  mongod all output going to: /usr/local/var/log/mongodb/mongo.log
 +857ms

That's all. Nothing more is happens.
Tail of mongod log below:

System information:

• OS: MacOS X Mountain Lion 10.8.1, build 12B19 on Intel Core i5 CPU, 8 GB RAM.
• MongoDB (db version v2.2.0, pdfile version 4.5) installed with Homebrew
• Deployd installed with
  • npm directly (v0.6.6)
  • git clone -> npm install -> npm link (v.0.6.7)

For both versions of Deployd I've got the same issue as mentioned above: eternal 'starting deployd...' w/o errors, w/o web dashboard etc.

Thanks for reply on Twitter.

We haven't been testing with mongod 2.2.x. There might be an issue there. It looks like its an issue with our mongod loader. Can you try the following?

In a terminal tab:

mongod

In a separate tab (in your foo-world dir):

dpd -P 27017 -H localhost -n testing-deployd -d

If this works, it is certainly the mongod loader. Should be a quick fix.

[dseredinov]

It works, sir! Thanks!

Using mongod 2.2.2 on OSX ML 10.8.2 and having the same issue.
I get the starting deployd v0.6.10... line but nothing happens after that.

The instructions ritch posted worked though..

[ritch]

@MariusCiocanel can you post the result of:

DEBUG=* dpd

[MariusCiocanel]

I get this and then nothing else happens:
starting deployd v0.6.10... mongod starting mongod +0ms mongod pid 1586 +60ms mongod all output going to: /usr/local/var/log/mongodb/mongo.log +143ms

Here's the contents of the mongo.log file:

Having the same issue. When I run dpd -d, a mongod.lock file gets created in the /data directory. Launching with dpd -P 27017 -H localhost -n {project-name} -d also works for me, and no lock file is created.

I encounter the same issue on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 so it's not specific to Mountain Lion anyway. It works fine doing the workaround above.

[zahlenhelfer]

Hi Guy, I encounter the same issue under Mac OS X Lion. With the Workaround of starting mongod in a seperate terminal it works like charm :)

[sebdeckers]

👍 New Deployd user here. This bug is still happening, workaround still works.

$ mongod --version
db version v2.4.0
Sun Mar 24 12:47:37.628 git version: ce2d666c04b4a80af58e8bbb3388b0680e8cfeb6
$ node --version
v0.8.19
$ npm --version
1.2.10
$ dpd --version
0.6.10
$ sw_vers -productVersion
10.8.3

[beshkenadze]

Yep. I encounter the same issue to on 10.8.3.

[utunga]

just another me too that I encountered this same problem. If I ran dpd then..

$ dpd -d
starting deployd v0.6.10...

.. and it would just hang indefinitely.

I'm also on mountain lion. The workaround described above namely starting mongod as a seperate process then running dpd as
$ dpd -P 27017 -H localhost -n newdb -d
also works for me. I installed from npm then when that didn't work tried installing from source download.

Taking a note out of cbas book here's all my version info.

$ node --version
v0.8.22
$ npm --version
1.2.14
$ dpd --version
0.6.10
$ sw_vers -productVersion
10.8.3

[militia]

Any fix that does not have to be manually done?

[Sharondio]

Ran into this one...hard. The manual fix works, but I was hoping for an automated solution.

[utunga]

seriously guys *and gals, not starting up at all is not a good experience for first time developers you might want to fix this one

[eisisig]
