Despiste deceptively easy to follow riak install instructions for ubuntu, I get the below error.
service riak start
Riak failed to start within 15 seconds,
see the output of 'riak console' for more information.
If you want to wait longer, set the environment variable
WAIT_FOR_ERLANG to the number of seconds to wait.
1) I updated the ip address in vm.args and app.config file and restarted riak 2) I ran the below:
riak-admin reip riak@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Attempting to restart script through sudo -u riak
Usage riak-admin reip <old_nodename> <new_nodename>
What is are the riak docs telling me from https://wiki.basho.com/Basic-Cluster-Setup.html?

Was there anything in 'riak console' worth sharing?
Usage riak-admin reip
This takes two arguments. It looks like you've only supplied one.
Feel free to pop into #riak on freenode if you want some realtime assistance.

This worked for me http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.riak.user/9102
It is a RIAK packaging problem, you have to delete the ring folder for RIAK node(s) and restart again.

I had the same issue, it turned out to be that I had forgotten to install libssl0.9.8.
Try using these commands:
sudo apt-get install libssl0.9.8
sudo service riak restart
With earlier versions it is not even possible to install Riak without having libssl0.9.8, but in the latest version 1.2.0 I did not see any dependency warning and Riak starts as long as you only bind to 127.0.0.1. At least that is what I observed, the actual root cause might be something else.
Good luck!

If you're using (currently the latest) Riak 1.1.4, try pulling down the previous 1.1.2 version.
I had the same error and tried various combinations of Erlang and Riak versions; going to an earlier version of Riak seemed to do the trick.
