无法在非root用户sudo中启动couchbase服务器2.2.0

Question

I an trying to install couchbase server 2.0.2 from http://www.couchbase.com/communities/python/getting-started

I have Linux mint 15.

I went to "Installing on Ubuntu as Non-Root, Non-Sudo"

I successfully executed:

dpkg-deb -x couchbase-server-enterprise_2.2.0_x86_64.deb $HOME

./bin/install/reloc.sh
pwd

When I tried `./bin/couchbase-server -- -noinput -detached I got the following output:

 ./bin/couchbase-server -- -noinput -detached

The maximum number of open files for the couchbase user is set too low. It must be at least 10240. Normally this can be increased by adding the following lines to /etc/security/limits.conf:

couchbase soft nofile couchbase hard nofile

Where is greater than 10240.

mkdir: cannot create directory '/opt/couchbase': Permission denied ./bin/couchbase-server: 71: cd: can't cd to /opt/couchbase/var/lib/couchbase

What am I doing wrong?

thanks in advance

Answer 1

Here is how I installed couchbase on linux mint 13 (A virtual machine).

Visit here to pick your flavour, 64/32bit, distro, enterprise or community http://www.couchbase.com/download

Right clink on the package you want and copy the link address and then add to the commands below. (I included the version I downloaded)

1. sudo wget http://packages.couchbase.com/releases/2.2.0/couchbase-server-enterprise_2.2.0_x86_64.deb
2. sudo dpkg -i couchbase-server-enterprise_2.2.0_x86_64.deb
3. sudo service couchbase-server status

During instalation you might find you are missing the libssl library, if you are it'll tell you and you can just sudo apt-get install LIB_SSL_VERSION

Answer 2

Run

./bin/install/reloc.sh `pwd`

instead of

./bin/install/reloc.sh
pwd

Answer 3

I thought Chris was asking about non-root, no sudo... I was interested in doing the same for development on an Ubuntu 14.04 vbox and ran into this issue.

• You can get your current hard limit with (I got 4096):

  $ ulimit -Hn

• Edit /etc/security/limits.conf (domain is a user or group)

  <domain> <type> <item> <value>

• Edit the /etc/pam.d/common-session and insert at the bottom:

  session required pam_limits.so

This should answer the mail, but you probably want to implement a script that runs this per process since this is a permanent solution. Looking forward to feedback on this if anyone has any.
