Errors: Database is unavailable and unable to reach coordination servers on Mac

Using FoundationDB
1

I am encountering the following errors in fdbcli after updating my fdb version to 7.1.28 with pkg, https://github.com/apple/foundationdb/releases/download/7.1.28/FoundationDB-7.1.28_x86_64.pkg.

fdbcli
Using cluster file `/usr/local/etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster’.

The database is unavailable; type `status’ for more information.

Welcome to the fdbcli. For help, type `help’.
fdb> status

Using cluster file `/usr/local/etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster’.

Could not communicate with a quorum of coordination servers:
127.0.0.1:4689 (unreachable)

I have tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling with different pkg versions, and also running the following;

fdb> configure ssd single

WARNING: Long delay (Ctrl-C to interrupt)

The database is unavailable; type `status’ for more information.

ERROR: The database is unavailable
Type `configure FORCE <TOKEN…>’ to configure without this check

2

is this an empty database? If so, try the command: configure new single ssd to create one.

3

Yes, since I completely uninstalled and reinstalled database, this should be empty.
Running configure new single ssd remains stuck at the following:

fdb> configure new single ssd

WARNING: Long delay (Ctrl-C to interrupt)

The database is unavailable; type `status’ for more information.

4

do you have a fdbserver process listening on this port?

5

I don’t see any fdbserver processes running on this port, lsof -i :4689 returns no processes

6

that’s the problem. you need to run one with that port.

7

I tried setting the port with the following (per documentation), but fdbcli still remains stuck –

fdb> coordinators 127.0.0.1:4689

WARNING: Long delay (Ctrl-C to interrupt)

The database is unavailable; type `status’ for more information.

Also verified /etc/foundationdb/foundationdb.conf contains:

#An individual fdbserver process with id 4689
##Parameters set here override defaults from the [fdbserver] section
[fdbserver.4689]
