Not able to verify Aerospike installation on Ubuntu 16.04

[mayuri.kadam]

I have been following these instructions: https://www.aerospike.com/docs/operations/install/linux/ubuntu I am now trying to verify my installation from: https://www.aerospike.com/docs/operations/verify

/opt/aeropspike, /etc/aerospike/, /etc/aerospike/aerospike.conf, /opt/aerospike/bin/, /opt/aerospike/doc/, /opt/aerospike/sys/, /opt/aerospike/usr/ directories/files are created as I can see.

but the following directories were not created or alteast not found in the path given. I keep getting the message-“No such file or directory”: /etc/init.d/aerospike, /etc/logrotate.d/aerospike, /var/log/aerospike/, /usr/bin/asd

Is there any step that I am missing here?

I am also not able to run : ‘cli -h 127.0.0.1 -n test -o set -k Aerospike -b name -v “Aerospike, Inc.”’ command. ERROR: The program ‘cli’ is currently not installed. To run ‘cli’ please ask your administrator to install the package ‘mono-runtime’

I am also not able to use the command ‘ascli’ or ‘asmonitor’ either. ERROR: No command ‘asmonitor’ found and No command ‘ascli’ found respectively.

Note: I am able to start and stop the server using: ‘sudo service aerospike start/status/stop’ My Machine details: Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS Release: 16.04 Codename: xenial

Kindly help asap. Thanks!

Ubuntu 16.04.3 would use systemd service for startup. We may need to update the install doc.

Please see following for an up-to-date info on stopping/starting a debian based system with systemd.

Upgrading Aerospike | Aerospike Documentation

Here are the systemd command lines:

Stopping aerospike:

$ sudo systemctl stop aerospike

Starting aerospike:

$ sudo systemctl start aerospike

`

Verify process is running:

$ `sudo systemctl status aerospike`

● aerospike.service - Aerospike Server

, cli and asmonitor are obsolete tools and have been completely replaced by aql and asadm Seems the documentation is lagging a bit.

Logrotate is also not configured by default on a systemd system. You can configure logrotate by following this guide:

https://www.aerospike.com/docs/operations/configure/log/logrotate.html#logrotate-policy-on-systemd-environments

or you could use journalctl for logging.
