Re: [che-dev] Install problems

[Tyler Jewell <tyler@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the improvement suggestions on the language.

The ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED message happens when you have attempted to access the browser before the server has booted.

What is the output in your console after "Successfully started docker machine named default..."?

Also, the error on VT-X/AMD-v enabled is a BIOS setting on windows that must be enabled by default.  It's an issue with virtualbox that I do not think we can detect in advance. It is almost always set by default, and surprised that yours is not.  We use the same sequence in the che startup stcript that the Docker QuickStart terminal uses, so surprised that docker machine did not give an error that we showed to you on the screen.  What version of docker toolbox are you using?

There is some sort of additional tests that we may need to think about doing before Che starts. We already perform dozens of checks for various edge cases - but there may be more.

Hi there,

I seem to be having problems installing Eclipse Che on my Windows machine.

Here is the environment I am installing onto:

Windows 10,
Java version "1.8.0_31"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_31-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.31-b07, mixed mode)

Docker, etc. were not previously installed on this machine.

Here were my experiences and observations as I went through the installation process:

• The installer presents the Eclipse Public License. It should actually present the Eclipse Software User Agreement.
• "Start server of Eclipse Che" is not great English. How about "Start the Eclipse Che server"?
• I installed the software accepting all of the defaults...then used the start menu items to "Start server of Eclipse Che", then "Open Eclipse Che in Browser". That failed with ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.

• Opened a Shell and navigated to C:\Users\Mike\AppData\Local\Programs\Eclipse Che\eclipse-che-4.0.0-RC13, then ran "bin\che run" from there.

C:\Users\Mike\AppData\Local\Programs\Eclipse Che\eclipse-che-4.0.0-RC13>bin\che run

On Windows, Che projects can only reside in %userprofile% due

Could not find an existing docker machine.
Creating docker machine named default... Please be patient, this takes a couple minutes the first time.
Successfully started docker machine named default...

Trying to connect to localhost:8080 also failed with ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.

• I am not sure if this is useful at all, but trying to run the Docker Quickstart Terminal (which was installed with Che) gives the following result.       
  

Creating Machine default...
Running pre-create checks...
Error creating machine: Error with pre-create check: This computer doesn't have VT-X/AMD-v enabled. Enabling it in the BIOS is mandatory
Looks like something went wrong...
Press any key to continue...

I also noticed an unrelated documentation bug.

On the Getting Started page it says:

Natively: This launches the Che server and you access it through your browser over localhost. Che's startup utilities check dependencies and start Docker (which may also start a VM). Please follow the usage steps.

But when you navigate there you are told:

Docker

You must have Docker accessible before starting Che. The Che startup scripts will test for Docker and if you are on Windows or MacOS setup a VM that is running Docker along with setting all necessary environment variables.
