Installation problem with databank-disk

[dirkk0]

Hi,

I must be overseeing something very obvious here.

I get the following error message, which I thought couldn't happen because the driver 'disk' is built into databank?

{"name":"pump.io","hostname":"domU-12-31-39-02-26-4B","pid":5816,"component":"dispatch","level":30,"msg":"Dispatch setup complete.","time":"2013-06-16T11:43:48.376Z","v":0}

Also, a minor issue: it should be mentioned in the README that one needs to do 'npm start' after installation.

To follow up on this: I got a pump instance running with redis, so the general installation worked. I then switched to 'memory' (works) and to 'disk' again - doesn't work, throws the error above.

It looks like the disk driver was removed from databank. See databank-disk. We should likely have a different 'default', maybe memory as it works quite well for testing.

Also, to start the pump, I generally use ./bin/pump (along with forever: forever ./bin/pump). Either way, it should likely go into the README as you stated.

ok, I see, thank you. And thanks for your blog entry, that helped me a lot.

Somewhat unrelated - is there a Google Group or something similar or are we supposed to open issues on Github?

I'm getting this error as well and am a complete noob with Linux administration. How can I get Pump.io installed and get past this error?

Thanks,

Johnny

You need to install redis and databank-redis like so (if you are on ubuntu/debian):

sudo apt-get --yes install redis-server
cd pump.io
npm install databank-redis

Also change the driver from disk to redis in pump.io.json.

Thank you for helping me out. I will try this later when I get home.

I really appreciate your support. No joke... There is almost no documentations or books or anything on Pump.io. The IRC channel wasn't active yesterday either.

I don't know where I could figure this out if it wasn't for you.

You are very welcome - let me know if it works out.

Hmm... It's still throwing up this error:

Evan states in the installation instruction of databank, that he is not sure about the installation:
https://github.com/evanp/databank

1. pease try npm install -g databank-redisand see if it works.
2. if that fails try

npm install databank
cd node_modules/databank/
npm install databank-redis

I got it to go all the way to here:

{"name":"pump.io","hostname":"BTTR","pid":16459,"level":30,"msg":"Finished setting up main server.","time":"2013-11-13T21:42:02.828Z","v":0}

However when I visit localhost:8000, I'm not getting to pump.io

My bad, I needed to go to 127.0.0.1

[dirkk0]

So it works now? great!

My pull request should fix this issue.
