YugabyteDB Can't assign requested address

Question

I am trying to start yugabyteDB locally with the following command:

./bin/yb-ctl destroy && ./bin/yb-ctl —ref 3

But yb-master and yb-tserver is not up.

Checking logs, I see:

cat yb-master.FATAL

Answer 1

It means that you need to configure the network interfaces 127.0.0.2 and 127.0.0.3 to get it working. Use these commands to create the interfaces and then start the cluster:

sudo ifconfig lo0 alias 127.0.0.2 up
sudo ifconfig lo0 alias 127.0.0.3 up
