Unable to create indexes (mac os)

Couchbase Server
1

I’m running: Version: 4.5.1-2844 Enterprise Edition (build-2844). I’m running this server (1 active) on my mac OS 10.12.3 laptop.

from cbq I’ve tried running: CREATE PRIMARY INDEX ON customer360 ;

This fails every time.

When I look in the ~/Library/Application Support/Couchbase/var/lib/couchbase/data/customer360 dir and look at errors.log I see messages like this:

[stats:error,2017-02-12T15:37:25.768-06:00,ns_1@127.0.0.1:query_stats_collector<0.348.0>:base_stats_collector:handle_info:109](Collector: query_stats_collector) Exception in stats collector: {error,

{line,

{lhttpc_client,

and

[ns_server:error,2017-02-12T15:37:38.063-06:00,ns_1@127.0.0.1:index_status_keeper_worker<0.370.0>:index_rest:get_json:42]Request to (indexer) http://127.0.0.1:9102/getIndexStatus failed: {error,
timeout}

That port is listening when I do a netstat -na. In fact there are over 300 connections open to it!

netstat -na | grep 9102 | wc -l
341

When I visit the indexes tab in the server admin, I see this message:

Warning: Cannot communicate with indexer process. Information on indexes may be stale. Will retry.

Any tips?

I blew away this install and started over with the developer release, Version: 4.6.0-3453 Enterprise Edition (build-3453). After that indexing started worked. Not sure if this is a bug that was fixed.

hi @andrew,

Couchbase4.5.x is not supported on Mac Sierra. See supported platform list here:
https://developer.couchbase.com/documentation/server/4.5/install/install-platforms.html

Couchbase4.6 supports Sierra/10.12.3.
