Something wrong on deploy chaincode for hyperledger v1.0

Question

I have tried to use docker toolbox to setup Hyperledger V1.0 in my local machines. I according to this document： http://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/latest/asset_setup.

Answer 1

I was having the same issue while following the latest "Writing Your First Application" tutorial (http://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/latest/write_first_app.html). I had installed all the pre-requisites and the fabric-samples and started the local network.

When I got to the step of enrolling the Admin user, $ node enrollAdmin.js, I was getting the same error message as above, Error: connect ECONNREFUSED, followed by the localhost domain.

As the first answer suggests, the root cause is that I'm running Docker Toolbox. I'm developing on an older Mac, OSX v10.9.5, so I couldn't use Docker for Mac.

To fix the issue, I replaced 'localhost' in the enrollAdmin.js code with the IP from Docker Toolbox.

Here are the steps I took:

1. Started Docker with Applications > Docker Quickstart Terminal
2. Copied the IP from this sentence: docker is configured to use the default machine with IP...
3. Opened the copy of enrollAdmin.js from fabric-samples/fabcar directory

4. Found this code:

   // be sure to change the http to https when the CA is running TLS enabled
   fabric_ca_client = new Fabric_CA_Client('http://localhost:7054', tlsOptions , 'ca.example.com', crypto_suite); // <-- This is the line to change
   

5. Replaced 'localhost' with the Docker IP, leaving the port :7054 as is.
6. Saved
7. Re-ran the command, $ node enrollAdmin.js

The script connected to the CA and successfully completed the Admin enrollment.

On to the next step!
