How to solve bind cannot assign requested address Error

0 votes

I am running a Hyperledger Fabric

My start-order.sh file to start the order looks like this:

ORDERER_GENERAL_LOGLEVEL=info \

ORDERER_GENERAL_LISTENADDRESS=orderer0 \

ORDERER_GENERAL_GENESISMETHOD=file \

ORDERER_GENERAL_GENESISFILE=/root/bcnetwork/conf/crypto-config/ordererOrganizations/ordererorg0/orderers/orderer0.ordererorg0/genesis.block \

ORDERER_GENERAL_LOCALMSPID=OrdererOrg0MSP \

ORDERER_GENERAL_LOCALMSPDIR=/root/bcnetwork/conf/crypto-config/ordererOrganizations/ordererorg0/orderers/orderer0.ordererorg0/msp \

ORDERER_GENERAL_TLS_ENABLED=false \

ORDERER_GENERAL_TLS_PRIVATEKEY=/root/bcnetwork/conf/crypto-config/ordererOrganizations/ordererorg0/orderers/orderer0.ordererorg0/tls/server.key \

ORDERER_GENERAL_TLS_CERTIFICATE=/root/bcnetwork/conf/crypto-config/ordererOrganizations/ordererorg0/orderers/orderer0.ordererorg0/tls/server.crt \

ORDERER_GENERAL_TLS_ROOTCAS=[/root/bcnetwork/conf/crypto-config/ordererOrganizations/ordererorg0/orderers/orderer0.ordererorg0/tls/ca.crt,/root/bcnetwork/conf/crypto-config/peerOrganizations/org0/peers/peer0.org0/tls/ca.crt,/root/bcnetwork/conf/crypto-config/peerOrganizations/org1/peers/peer2.org1/tls/ca.crt] \

CONFIGTX_ORDERER_BATCHTIMEOUT=1s \

CONFIGTX_ORDERER_ORDERERTYPE=kafka \

CONFIGTX_ORDERER_KAFKA_BROKERS=[kafka-zookeeper:9092] \

orderer

When I run this, I get the following error:

2018-02-19 12:53:31.597 UTC [orderer/main] main -> INFO 001 Starting orderer:

Version: 1.0.2

 Go version: go1.9

 OS/Arch: linux/amd64

2018-02-19 12:53:31.602 UTC [orderer/main] initializeGrpcServer -> CRIT 002 Failed to listen: listen tcp XX.XXX.XXX.XX:7050: bind: cannot assign requested address

How to solve this?

You must mention in your host.conf file for the orderer to resolve to any address. Add the following to your host.conf and it should work.

-e ORDERER_GENERAL_LISTENADDRESS=0.0.0.0 -e ORDERER_GENERAL_LISTENPORT=7050

Try restarting docker. Maybe you are getting this error because the address is already being used by a background process.

$ docker stop
$ docker start

You might have kept docker running and up before initializing the fabric. Bring the containers down and start again. To bring the containers down, use the following command:

$ docker rm $(docker ps -qa)

I was facing the same problem. After a lot of research, I realized that the reason for the problem was that I ran the command as sudo and this command requires to be run by a non-sudo user. When I ran the command without sudo, it worked fine. Hope this helps in your case too.
