[SOLVED] Cannot run daemon - listen tcp4 127.0.0.1:5001: bind: cannot assign requested address

adam-hanna · October 27, 2018, 12:25am

Just downloaded a fresh ipfs binary and cannot run the daemon. No matter what port I try, I get a bind error.

$ wget https://dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/v0.4.17/go-ipfs_v0.4.17_linux-amd64.tar.gz
$ tar xvfz go-ipfs_v0.4.17_linux-amd64.tar.gz
$ cd go-ipfs
$ sudo ./install.sh

$ ipfs init
$ ipfs daemon

What’s the output of:

adam-hanna · October 27, 2018, 7:06pm

@stebalien

$ netstat | grep 5001
$ ss -n -l -A tcp -p | grep ':5001'

I’m almost positive this is some weird fedora thing because I’ve had no problem with IPFS on Ubuntu both 16 & 18.

adam-hanna · October 27, 2018, 9:37pm

Ok, I just tried on a fresh Fedora inside a virtual machine and the daemon started with no trouble. This is definitely some weird issue with my machine. I’ll try some fedora specific forums…

adam-hanna · October 27, 2018, 10:28pm

Ok, scratch this. I updated my Fedora, restarted and now everything is hunky dory… ugghhh

stebalien · October 28, 2018, 1:02pm

Ah, I know what happened. You’re loopback interface didn’t have an IPv4 address. If you take a look at the “swarm listening on” messages, you’ll see ::1 (IPv6 loopback) but not 127.0.0.1.

Bragaz · January 14, 2019, 4:26pm

I actually have the same problem on macOS Mojave 10.14.2 and i didn’t understand how to fix it.
Could you help me in any way?
I’m desperate!

leerspace · January 15, 2019, 1:28am

Can you post your exact error output?

What’s the output from
