Question

I am trying to startup the ArangoDB server with:

→ bin/arangod --server.endpoint tcp://127.0.0.1:8529 --database.directory tmp

However I get a:

2013-05-07T12:30:30Z [83160] INFO ArangoDB 1.3.devel -- ICU 49.1.2, V8 version 3.16.14.1, SSL engine OpenSSL 0.9.8r 8 Feb 2011
2013-05-07T12:30:30Z [83160] INFO using default language 'de_DE'
2013-05-07T12:30:30Z [83160] INFO using endpoint 'tcp://127.0.0.1:8529' for http non-encrypted requests
2013-05-07T12:30:30Z [83160] FATAL you must specify an admin directory, giving up!

What is wrong? And what can I do to make the error go away?

Was it helpful?

Solution

If you are not going to "make install" ArangoDB in its final destination, but instead want to start it from the source directory, please use

bin/arangod -c etc/relative/arangod.conf --server.endpoint tcp://127.0.0.1:8529 --database.directory tmp

The configuration files in the "etc/relative" directory hold all the defines to start arangod and arangosh without installing it.
