无法生成 orderer 创世块 - Hyperledger Fabric

Question

I am trying to run the startFabric.sh script but it fails with the following error.

There are already several solutions posted for this problem. I went through almost all of them changing the FABRIC_CFG_PATH variable, running byfn.sh before this etc. etc. Still can not resolve!!

Answer 1

Can you make sure that you can run

./network.sh up

inside

fabric-samples/test-network/

? The error you are getting maybe result of one of the followings:

1. You have an incomplete fabric-samples folder, OR

2. You do not have appropriate permission to access the folder which has config.yaml file. In this case, it's

   fabric-samples/test-network/organizations/ordererOrganizations/example.com/msp

3. You do not have certificates generated for the orgs.

Please share more info, so it's easier to navigate through the problem

PS The fabcar example in Fabric 2.1 uses test-network instead of first-network used in previous versions. So, running byfn.sh would not be of much help.

Answer 2

Use FABRIC_CFG_PATH=$PWD/../config/ with your $PWD set to ~/fabric-samples/fabcar

Also check that configtx.yaml exists in ~/fabric-samples/test-network/configtx
