rebar3: console not opening

Question

This is a rebar3 release compiled and released without any error. (There was this line ( ===> Missing beam file elf_format <<"/usr/local/lib/erlang/lib/hipe-3.11.3/ebin/elf_format.beam">>) I guess that's something else).

There is a line in the error which says that there is another link using the same hostname. Seeing this I deleted all such projects of the same name and recompiled and re released.

Also when i try start option no output is shown and localhost:8080 is not started.(I have been trying to do the example on this link in rebar3 :- http://jordenlowe.com/title/Explain_like_I_am_5_-_Erlang_REST_Framework_Cowboy )

What is/could be the reason for this error.

Answer 1

The main error is: the name hello_erlang@you_host seems to be in use by another Erlang node which says that there is another running Erlang node with the same name. You can see a list of running Erlang node with following Erlang Port Mapper Daemon (epmd) command:

 epmd -names

You must stop or kill currently running node with the desired node name and then start the new one.
